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.)

Trump loves the prodigal sons

“Will Trump banish [House Minority Leader Kevin] McCarthy for new evidence of past heresy or honor his current subservience? The outcome seems predictable. Certainly, Trump values unquestioning loyalty. But he seems to enjoy it more when heretics come back in cringing supplication. His most exquisite delight is when the wayward remove their own backbones in his presence.”

 

Another nicely-turned observation from Michael Gerson:
