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.)

Truth and accuracy

The Washington Post just published an article on the lawsuit filed by the Associated Press challenging their recent ban from covering White House events. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt commented as follows: “I wanted to get the White House counsel on the phone before taking the stage to see what I can and cannot say. But look, we feel we are in the right in this position. And I said in my first briefing from the podium: We are going to ensure that truth and accuracy is present at that White House every single day.”

 

The article did not indicate whether Leavitt was able to keep a straight face when she reached the “truth and accuracy” section of her remark. Or whether she had her fingers crossed.
