The End of Scare2:
Maybe the biggest current problem in America is not wearing masks or getting rid of institutions and statues, but what is crippling the economy --Supply Chain logjam. Hopefully despite surging progressivism we can still depend on a robust USA business community as the best way to keep the home fires burning brightly, and not the bloated government sending out checks. But it is imperative that we as a nation do everything possible free up our supply chains again. Maybe the feds should focus there. Mayer that is all they should do until we are flowing once again.
I don’t know if this is a national trend, but around here as I walk my city streets, I am seeing more and more pet owners wheeling their dogs in strollers. Are we developing new generation of helicopter pet owners? I look into the dog’s eyes and I see a plea, “Help me I need to walk, I am an animal.” How will dogs ever chase cats again if their leg muscles atrophy?
You know, the Stock market is a little like the Boston Red Sox. The Sox typically get a nice early lead, but my heart always feels a bit leery knowing the bullpen could and probably will lose that lead in an instance. That’s the way I feel when there stocks jump off to a fast star in the mooring… knowing lately that the Bulls will melt down in th late afternoon.

The Question:
Mike Post is one of the all-time great composers of TV show themes. Name five of his best known shows.
The Headlines:
--Treasury Yields Down After Nasdaq’s Worst Day In 7 Months; Big Tech Over-Valuations Is The Big Concern.
—Repubs Bloc Second Attempt By Senate Dems To Get Debt Ceiling Increased.
--Good News: Analysts Don’t See Yesterday As The Start Of A Correction.
With Q3 earnings season upon us, Walls Street will be really, really looking closely at Big Tech earnings. Can they support this summer run-up in stock prices? Is there growth in the mix? This will be key to Nasdaq’s big tech going forward in October, and maybe putting September doubts to rest.
One thing about bumper stickers. They tell you immediately who you want to meet and who you want to avoid.
Congress is a big fat mess, and it isn’t just because of stubborn republicans. House progressives are standing firm against compromises to the big infrastructure bill already passed in the Senate. And Bernie is the biggest cheerleader urging his left not give in. He is still hoping to attach “Medicare for All” that big $3.5 Trill Bill as his lifetime thrill. Nancy has said this week she will decouple Infrastructure from the big boondoggle bill. Progressives love the doggle.
Why didn’t they name drones, incessants?
Do you realize that every picture of you is a picture of you when you were younger?
I was intrigued by the commercials, and was drawn into watching Labria which premiered last night on NBC. It had the possibility of being a good Sci Fi story, which I like, if it wasn’t so badly written, badly acted and missed a key SciFi ingredient of being at least a remote possibility of being real. Oh, did I mention that the characters were no in the least endearing.

The Answer:
Mike Post might not be a familiar name to most, but you have all lived in his music. Post won several Grammys for his TV theme music, but his first Grammy was at he age oof 23 in 1968 for his best instrumental arrangement of Mason Williams’ Classical Gas, a song that reached #2 on the charts. His first Grammy for a theme song was for The Rockford Files, which also did well on the pop charts. He won Grammys for Hill Street Blues and LA Law and and an Emmy for his Murder 1 music. He became the composer for all the great TV show creators Donald P. Bellisario, Steven Bochco, Stephen J. Cannell and Dick Wolf. His other TV music is themes for The A-Team, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Blossom, The Commish, Doogie Howser, M.D., The Greatest American Hero, Hardcastle and McCormick, Hooperman, Hunter, Magnum, P.I., NewsRadio, Profit, Quantum Leap, Renegade, Riptide, Silk Stalkings, Stingray, Tales of the Gold Monkey, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe, The White Shadow, Wiseguy, the BBC series Roughnecks, and Philly.
I like to write about people who you know by their work but probably not by their name. Mike Post is one of them. But Peter Townsend of the Who knew who Mike was and he wrote this song to honor Mike Post. Frankly, it’s really not a great song, unless you like everything about The Who, or appropriateness.
