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.)

It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again

Ukraine

Several of the columns in yesterday’s Washington Post had interesting takes on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

 

David Von Drehle: Zelensky and the West have called Putin’s bluff

David Ignatius: Distraught dictator or rational actor?

Sebastian Mallaby: The West deploys a new financial weapon

Molly Roberts: Ukraine is a war of the modern-day Web

Biden’s presidential approval rating is at a new low

This is both disappointing and alarming (although not especially surprising).
