Some artists only have one really big hit. If you’ve never heard the long version of this one, it’s a lot like the single version, but about 14 minutes longer. You have been warned.
What’s been on your mind? Got something you’d like to share? A topic to discuss? It’s Saturday Night Open Thread.

Drum solo
Way back when, I used the drum solo as backup to a poem for my answering machine. The poem was: “You’ve called Burt, the machine’s turned on. Could be my mood, could be I’m gone. Solicitors think that I’m not real nice cause I use this thing as a screening device. So rap a few lines after the tone, if I like it and I’m here, I’ll pick up the phone.
I saw that in concert in about 1969. Pretty amazing.
Yes,
6:21 — 9:21
That drum solo
Defines rock ‘n’ roll
Also inspired possibly one of the greatest Simpsons clips

Q: Where are we going today Mr. Peabody? A: Today Sherman we’ll be going back to 1939 Baltimore MD to give Thomas D’Alesandro Jr. a box of condoms.
Fun Fact: Nancy Pelosi’s father was the Mayor of Baltimore who put up all the Confederate statues there.
Oh, and…………..Yang/Williamson 2020
Williamson should be on top…
of the ticket.
Kamala Harris instantly comes to mind.
No way! Yang should be on top because he wants to give me one thousand dollars a month!! That thousand dollars a month will go a long way toward helping me pay the higher taxes the Democrats are going have to levy on the taxpayers so that they can give everyone a thousand dollars a month. On the other hand Williamson (who’s so crazy she couldn’t even win her congressional race in California) wants to give reparations to descendants of slaves! Well I don’t have any slaves in my ancestry!! So….as you can plainly see, it’s a matter of economics.
Good comment below the YouTube video:

“I don’t always listen to In A Gadda Da Vida, but when I do, so do the neighbors.”
Thanks for posting this!
It demonstrates what can emanate from people producing something which they themselves enjoy, and which other people will gladly support.
As opposed to:
“Go produce something in line with our party line!”
There are millions of other examples.
There is no way “Jessica” or “Satisfaction” would ever have been written under orders from a commissar.
I got one scoop of ice cream
But Trump, now: — he got two
You read it in the newspaper
So, you know, it’s true
Who do I sue for damages?
Who do I sue for race?
Where can I get free sammiches?
What show will show my face?
Maybe The View is good
Ratings they don’t count
Maybe Hollywood
The left is Paramount
There on NBC
Where NPCs abound
Or maybe in a parking lot
There’s no one else around.
Watch all the numb-ers climb
And claim your mental helf
Google me sometime
And
Congratulate yourself.
Passwords
Harvey

bings up [pun!] a legitimate issue:
Websites sometimes require a login and password.
You are required to not only create them, but store them, and produce them when required.
How?
Relying on your memory?
Your written records?
Or electronic files?
Are any of these infallible?
In the Garden of Eden, honey.
Don’t you know that I’m lovin’ you?
I give due praise to the Lord Almighty for granting Basil the ability to go to Disneyworld:

But after the first hundred dollars, I went wobbly and said: “I can go to a state park for nothing.”
Probably won’t be no one else in line, either.
I admit:
I’ve been to Europe. I’ve stayed in a hotel.
But let’s leave it at that. I’t’s just, as well.
I think of Belda Beast, because they played Gadda too damn much when it was released.
