I see a red door and I want it to stay red. I'll kill you if you make any changes.

Is it possible that the left/right definition came from early parliaments where the leftists sat one side and it happened to be the left,?  Being leftists, they all totally focused on their leader who snottily insisted as far as possible away from the enemy as possible.  And they projected that onto the enemy because of course they did.

No evidence but it's entirely plausible.  Strange the things I think up the second I start sitting down to write something.

Saw a note today that white prices are going to skyrocket.  This sort of thing always happens when outright socialists take over.

It also sounds like there is evidence ready to come out about the stolen election.  I'm not optimistic.  I'm just trying to get through each day as it comes at this point.

"Newsom sued Secretary of State Shirley Weber in late June, arguing that the law imposes a needlessly early deadline for recall targets to request their party designation and that voters deserve to see that information."

They already know who they're voting for or against, that's the point of a recall election.  How stupid do you have to be to think they need to know what party you're in to make any such decision and still be permitted to vote?

Oh wait, this only became California law in 2019.  It's his law he's trying to ignore and it's his reelection team that forgot to mention what party he was in.  No wonder he wants to keep power, a sensible person would never try to get away with that.

He supports the men with guns and that ain't the protestors.  It's strange that Democrats are so insistent that Cubans aren't protesting communism.  So these protestors are lying?  That's probably what the Cuban media and internet says and the government has banned anything it doesn't like.  Which is how Democrats want it.

That's like asking them what their views on Palestinian abortion and homosexuality.  We know what they think about that, they totally support Palestinian views.  They won't say anything because it would irritate liberals and might possibly get some of them to question how this works which simply won't do.  Don't worry, we're all Palestinians, or will be soon.

□ [“Rolling Stones, 'Paint It, Black'"]

I've been thinking lately about how I've been listening to more music lately.  I'm stuck driving and although it doesn't happen often, I do turn the radio on at times.  Of course I can't writing anything about it because, you know, driving.

But I did hear this song recently and enjoyed it.  Obvious why, it's a great song that's built very well and just provides something worthwhile to pay attention to for three and a half minutes, that's basically what music is there for.

So I thought of it a few minutes ago and because I was getting ready to finish this post, decided to play it again.  Yes, it's still wonderful.  It's also an example of how music can add up to more than the sum of its parts.  The only thing that really sticks out is Brian Jones on the sitar, probably his most notable contribution to the band other than forming and naming it.  And it's not that it's great sitar-playing, it just sounds neat against the rest of the music.

The band themselves are fine, Jagger's vocals are good, but nothing stands out as far as ability.  The lyrics don't really make any sense but this was when rock music was trying to promote itself as being *about something* even if it really wasn't.

It's also another example of how the lyrics are meaningless, until seeing this "Official Lyrics Video," I'd always thought "people turn their heads and quickly look away, like a new born baby it just happens every day" was actually "like an h-bomb, baby..."  That makes as much sense but, seeing the lyrics right there, it's clearly not what Mick is singing.

However, "don't wanna see the sun flying high in the sky"?  No, that's clearly not what Mick is singing.  It's possible that I'm wrong and it's not "I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky" but that's a lot closer to the recorded version than the *official* video says it is.

Still trying to figure out what rock'n'effin'roll really meant to anything but I have to give it points for stuff like this.  It came out fifty-five years ago, almost ten years before I was born and it's still a lot more worth listening to than the random batches of noise people listen to now without a fraction of the popularity or longevity.  It's probably a straight-forward path from one to the other but at least there was talent once upon a time.
