So, just out of curiosity, all those planned rallies/riots beginning on the 17th and culminating today - has one of them actually happened, aside from one gun-toting ASS being arrested at a checkpoint two days ago? Because those were the threats - so, all hot air?

Sure looks that way. Maybe the outcome of the Capitol riot has all those "patriots" reconsidering going to prison for Trump.

Good news from DR DRUXY about SANDY.

Barnum did not like Lady Gaga - he hid his head while she sang.....but he came out and danced with Jennifer Lopez.

I enjoyed all of the performances and readings except one.....but that's okay.

I also thought I heard JRB say that Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on January 20, 1963.....but it was probably my hearing....

That's why the arrests have been so important. To most of these ASSES it was a game, hence the selfies and all that crap. But there were a few who were more serious, but are they willing to go to jail? And their leader is now gone. Light and sanity, baby.

Awww, poor boy. At least the next song made him happy.

Back from Xeroxing pages - I made one final little addition to one speech that I'd thought of yesterday and I liked it so in it went. Listening to the last of Aida, which will be followed by Falstaff, the Bernstein recording. The sound on this remastered Aida is beyond belief. I can only imagine that the Blu-ray Audio is even better.

Pulled pork sandwich coming shortly - that's within my calorie count and instead of mac-and-cheese, I'm doing a little Caesar.

Your hearing. It was January 1st.

Aida - tremendous performance and sound. So far, I like this better than Traviata.

That's cool! But how does it compare to Elton John's Aida?

DR elmore3003 - you might find this interesting:

1,699 J.S. Bach cantata movements have been hand-catalogued using the Neue Bach-Ausgabe so that they can be browsed by instrumentation and text:

That's amazing!

The headline says: Trump extended Secret Service protection for 14 members of his family as he left office.

Will they need that behind bars?

Pulled pork sandwich was great - a bit soggier than usual so I ate it with a fork.

Maybe...since none of them got pardoned.

I like that messiness with pulled pork. That’s how I remember them as a kid. I think Dairy Queen offered them way back when. Pure nostalgia.

Enjoying Falstaff. After that it's La Fanciulla del West. Still waiting on Boris Godunov and others. I got a screener of that Trial of the Chicago Seven movie, so I'll watch that today, and I also have a DVD of a modern opera called John Merrick: The Elephant Man by Laurent Petitgirard, the composer of the French Maigret series - love his music so am looking forward to it.

Inauguration Evening greetings! We’ve been in front of the TV most of the day, but we just came in from the front porch where we watched the International Space Station zoom across our western sky.
