As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

Late night hosts vs. Trump

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10/06/trump-covid-hospital-late-night/

 

Pick your favorite.

 

Trevor Noah:  “It’s not karma to get hit by lightning when you’re standing on the roof of a skyscraper holding a metal rod while there’s lightning. The universe didn’t do that s--- to you. You did that s--- to yourself!”

 

Seth Meyers:  “Nothing projects strength like waving from the back seat of an SUV like a kid headed for soccer practice. Smart move keeping your juice box between your knees.”

 

Meyers again:  “If there was an epidemic of bear attacks, these people would be running around in the woods wearing scarves made of sausage links.”

 

Stephen Colbert, commenting on Trump’s statement that he had “learned a lot about covid” from his treatments:  “Really? You’re learning now? For the last eight months, I’ve heard about millions of people getting infected with covid, hundreds of thousands of [them] dying. But how could I know these people were real if they weren’t me? But now they are me. My thoughts and prayers go to all of myself.”

      I completely agree with "A long trip for a short point."

      This one didn't do much for me either:
