Song of the Day 11/12: Ray Charles, “Hit the Road Jack”
Somebody should blast this at the White House 24/7 until he concedes. Ray Charles took this blunt kiss-off to No. 1 in 1961. Margie Hendrix of the Raelettes plays his foil, something she could do easily because they were in a stormy relationship at the time, but the song isn’t about them. It was written […]

Song of the Day 11/10: Weird Al Yankovic, “I Lost on Jeopardy”
I thought this would be a good way to acknowledge the passing of Alex Trebek, but I had forgotten that this parody of Greg Kihn’s “Jeopardy” actually predates Trebek’s association with the game show. The original show aired on NBC on weekday afternoons from 1965 to 1975 and was briefly resurrected a couple of times […]

I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard the Trump campaign tried to get these guys to perform at that infamous Northeast Philly press conference. They didn’t show because they went to the Four Seasons hotel by mistake. Also, too, the song describes something else Trump can’t do. Like most of the group’s string […]

President-Elect Biden Addresses the Nation and World on a Great Night for Wilmington
There will be time enough for examining the new political terrain in Delaware, but for now I’m just going to relax and enjoy the moment.
We watched the speeches and fireworks/drones from the Outlets parking lot. It was wonderful. Wilmington looked awesome. The vibe was great.
Folks, the people of this nation have spoken. They have delivered us a clear victory. A convincing victory. A victory for we, the people.
We won with the most votes ever cast on a presidential ticket in the history of the nation: 74 million. Well, I must admit it surprised me. Tonight, we are seeing all over this nation, all cities and all parts of the country, indeed across the world, an outpouring of joy, of hope, renewed faith in tomorrow to bring a better day.
And I’m humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me. I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but unify. Who doesn’t see red states and blue states, only sees the United States.
