Vivid imagery throughout this classic, written by John Hartford but
made famous by Glen Campbell.
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.)

Twitter is our window into Trump’s shriveled soul

Believe it or not, Michael Gerson’s column is even better than the title would suggest.
He starts out with the following: Witnessing a new low for the Trump presidency means it
is a day of the week ending in “y.”
A few paragraphs later, he discusses whether our current President is a
“credulous simpleton” or a “cynical weasel”. (Spoiler alert: the correct answer
is “Yes.”)

Great Boswell column on the intersection between sports and societal-political
issues.
