Five!

[singdaw]

Good night, friends.

[singdaw]

And others.

[John G.]

I can't decide if this sounds good. I guess I will try it.

Good night, all.

SHILLING FOR YOUTUBE VIEWS AHEAD

Did someone say Meat Loaf?   (I love Jan Horvath's vocal on this.)

"We're All in the Balcony Now" - "Bat Out of Hell" Parody of "It's All Coming Back to Me Now"

Topic of the Day:  my first car was an orange 1976 Volkswagen Super Beetle that looked like this (but the hub caps weren't this sporty):

[George]

My parents bought it for me in 1984 so that I could go to college and work.  I only had it for less than 10 years (I forget exactly how long I had it) because I didn't take care of it.

[George]

Big regret.

[George]

After that, I got a 1989 Subaru Justy with a button on the stick shift for four-wheel drive on the fly.   I had it until 1998 because I didn't take care of it.

[George]

But then I got my brand new 1998 Ford Escort and had that for 24 years.  I took care of that one.

[George]

And now, I have another Subaru, an Impreza hatchback (aka "5 door"), with the sport trim and it came with a CD player!

[George]

I plan to keep this as long as I can.

[George]

...even though it has an automatic transmission.

[George]

It's the first automatic that I've owned.

[George]

Later today I am going to make a meat loaf.

Jrand, did you know Rocky Horror Show is coming back to Broadway in spring 2026?

Luke Evans?  Very cool.

[George]

Do they even sell cars anymore with NO air conditioning?

Oh, probably...but just not new cars.

[George]

DR George, I liked the page six candle dance last night.

Thanks, Jane.

Here's a local TV news update on the repairs at Lick Observatory with my friend Elinor Gates. We've sung several shows together, most notably a semi-staged production of Sousa's El Capitan, where she was Isabel and I was Pozzo.

Very cool, Michael.

[George]

The memorial service this morning was beautiful, and my work colleague appreciated my being there. I don't know if she realized that I forfeited about $300 in overtime pay to be there, as I was scheduled to work today.

That's very kind of you to do that, Singdaw. 

[George]

At my work, we could use up to four hours of bereavement leave for non-family member funerals.  Too bad your place doesn't have something like that.

[George]

Keith got Wordle in three.

Congrats to Keith!

[George]

FOUR,

Cool!

[George]

This particular article, however, has given me the best idea for a musical.

https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/girl-talk/

Very interesting article, John. 

[George]

I wonder if Skip Hollandsworth had considered expanding the story into a full-length book, or even a short book.

[George]

But it definitely could make a good musical.

[George]

It’s about a group of women singers and musicians who made it big on radio around the time of WWII. They were in prison and featured on a show called 30 Minutes Behind the Wall. Screams to me something along the lines of Radio Gals or The 1940s Radio Hour.

Agreed!

[George]

Or maybe also Cowgirls (the original cast album of which was produced by our very own BK)!

[George]

My roomba just beat me to a Cheeto that I dropped on the floor.

This is how the war against machines begins.
