For Following Your Dreams:
There
are so many ways to look at the world. There are little
bits of right in many ideas, even some with which we don’t agree. Most often it
is because we can’t take our eyes off the mirror. We don’t see what is beyond the
glass.
Puns
the younger generation won’t understand: A grenade thrown
into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.
Linoleum?
I
love the description of Hollywood GG Black dressed celebrities
by Rose McGowen as “The Fancies”. She said in a GG post mortem she was appalled
at all of these people – including Streep, Anniston, Witherspoon and even Oprah
– as conveniently taking the spotlight but were nowhere to be found when they
all knew Harvey was abusing many.
There
is a disturbing trend out there. Data shows that investors
are dropping the basic protections their portfolios that would guard against big
losses after a downturn in the market. Now, that could mean that optimism is
high. It could also mean we are entering the latest era of losing reality. For
instance, we are seeing some former super-hot stocks plummeting – like Go-Pro
which just hit a very low $6.56/share. What we may be seeing is just how the
ease of entry into various markets through technology can make one year’s
winner a loser with the flick of a switch or the rabid chasing of a new app. And in
some instances, government regulations catching up with hot ideas that don’t
pay taxes. And there is my own favorite downturn
indicator -- A crazed list of proposed new
hotels for Providence RI. That usually comes at the end of a boom. However, on the
positive side, we are in the middle of a tech boom that has not even come within an Elon Musk Moon shot of the DotCom disaster of the 1999-2000 era. So, while it
looks like irrational exuberance, there definitely is a little more substance to
some of today’s power stocks. It just seems at times to look like a willow tree economy.

When
orders for acetone, benzene and ethanol plummeted, the chemical
plant become insolvent.
The
biggest fight we can’t see between leftists and conservatives
is over who will come out on top controlling the underground internet networks?
It is there where the seeds of discontent or hope are planned and passed upward
to he uninformed.
Did
you see where Trump supporter Roseann Barr says her
next TV show will be about a working-class Trump supporter. The Hollywood “Fancies”
are up in arms against her effort.
I
don’t see anything in Oprah Wimphry’s past or in her GG
textbook liberal speech that would make her fair to all-Americans. Unless of
course, she gave me a free car.
The
Fancies! Love it.
The
Wolff book raises the specter of the 25th
Amendment as a way for the left to get rid of President Trump. Of course, the depressed
Dems leaped upon it. But, there were many a sober mnd, like Alan Dershowitz who
said that using the 25th Amendment to rid us of any President whom
the other side disagreed with would be toxic to the future of the USA. He has always been against the “Criminalization
of Political Differences”. He went on to say, though, that the that “the
Psychiatrist-ization of political differences” would be infinitely more
dangerous, similar to what they have done in Russia, China and in an apartheid
in South Africa – “If you don’t like a candidate, first lock them up; if you
can’t lock them up commit them to a mental hospital”. It is incredibly
dangerous to pursue such an action, and he added Psychiatrists have been
notoriously bad about predicting violence.” Of course, any reliable news organization
would have thought about that before presenting as news to consider.
Singing
in the shower is all fun and games until you get soap in your
mouth. Then, it becomes a soap opera.
Is
Lebron James getting old? Actually, he is still a youngish
32, but in basketball years he has already played more games than Michael Jordan
did in his entire career. Lebron is still young, but what about his legs that
have supported his carrying many a team on his back?
Two
things I tend to ignore in media: Stories about Trump on
CNN, and stories about the New England Patriots on ESPN.
When
it is below 32 degrees, it is cold and nice and neat.
When it is in the 32 to 40 range, it is cold, damp and messy.
The
Answer:
According to my source, Carrie Underwood tops the list.
She is followed by Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, Patsy Cline, Martina Mc Bride,
Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Faith Hill and at #10 – Linda Ronstadt.
The next five are Loretta Lynn, Sara Evans, Emmy Lou Harris, Tammy Wynette and
Allison Krauss. As you go down the list you realize that there were a lot of great
near iconic singers not mentioned above, but who could easily be the all-tie favorite
of many. BTW, the list of current top Country female singers includes Allison
Krauss, Brandy Clark, Carrie Underwood, Cassadee Pope, Danielle Bradbury,
Gretchen Wilson, Kacey Musgraves and Miranda Lambert. Bonus: The five accoutrements scientifically proven to help women snag
men are high heels, red clothing, Black dresses, sleeveless tops and dresses,
and “Body-con” dresses. Black dresses? Say what?
I
like Martina McBride. I like her Independence Day and others
but here’s a thoughtful one, maybe pretty profound in today’s environment (Perhaps
another kind of Independence Day):
And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing.
She carries her dreams
Man you should see her fly.
