Poe’s Raven singing ‘Nevermore’.

A new game show: “Who Wants to be CEO?”

Freedom from the smell of musk? Such great attacks against Twitter and the chief-twit! I am so glad I am free of Twitter now. My followers have been much more receptive now, since I abandoned that sinking ship. I can sing, so long Twitter, I don’t miss you at all. Free as a bird, and happier.

Even though Social media sites are privately owned and they make their own rules, they still need to be monitored for dangerous threats and evil plots! Encouraging bad language amd statements leads to more violence

I was going to guess Me and Bobby McGee written by Kris Kristofferson and sung by Janis Joplin.

I remember back when the running joke at concerts was for audience members to scream out requests for “Free Bird” even when the band wasn’t Lynyrd Skynyrd. It could still be heard being shouted by a random drunk or two into the early 2000s. I don’t think I’ve heard it being called out in the past 10-15 years of concert-going as the crowds of Millennials and Zoomers aren’t familiar with the practice.

Has anybody heard anything about John Batiste, lately?

I was thinking more like Janis Joplin’s Me & Bobby McGee.
