    1. Dear Prudence 1. I’m sorry the first cover group recoded their Dear Prudence on an iPhone-2 camera … they actually deserve better than a crap, hollow-sounding, living room to record in. In fact, if the brunette on the couch will come record in my bedroom (it has really excellent acoustic properties) … I’ll let her curl up in my super-soft, Mike Lindell sheets and use a proper Neumann condensing microphone to capture her sultry tones in perfect detail. All very, very, platonic and whatnot. However … should she want to show her appreciation …

      Dear Prudence 2. I was about to switch-off the old fogies version (to go back and stare at the Brunette some more) … but decided to give it a tumble. Wow! By the end I was totally transfixed by the incredibly COMPLETE instrumentation they put down. It’s almost as if these old fogies were session musicians at Abbey Road working for George Martin. What a simple, simple, song … that explodes into a richly lush and complex instrumental crescendo! And the overtones of the tune scream both and Indian Sitar and psychedelica. The lead guitar fills by the seated guitarist are SO George Harrison, and SO psychedelic. Yeah, yeah, I continue my current obsession with late 60’s psychedelic guitar works.

      I swear to God, this is what made Beatles music so enduringly BRILLIANT … Lennon picks out a simple tune that could have remained as static as “Blackbirds” playing along at a metronome clicked pace … but instead the boys go into the studio (yes, even Ringo put an incredible drum fill into the tune) and transform this simple little tune into an indelible painting of a specific time and place in history. Oh my! The hand claps … and the trilling piano fill … F-ing BRILLIANT!! Whoever these old fogies are … they gave a competently played beautiful visual look into the Beatles studio work.

      Thanks for sharing those videos mate. Not sure how it relates to the topic … but I was happy with the diversion from this entire “transitioning” IDIOCY.

  1. Well, Matt and Trey still got it.

    I bet they even won more seats than Scheer, and they did not even campaign in Canada.

    1. Yeah … the got it … but …

      This entire “transitioning” IDIOCY is pretty low hanging fruit. So to speak.

  2. Enjoy the patriarchy you feminist. The new patriarchy is a man disguised as a women Oh the irony.

    1. The new patriarchy is just man calling himself woman, there does not need to be a disguise.

      Karma, she was a bitch but now she’s a bastard!

    2. When I played HS football (1970-1974) … in my senior year … in my upper, upper, middle class community (yeah, our team was shit … bunch of “rich” pussies) … we had a GIRL tryout for the varsity football team. It was really, really, sad. This girl had just moved into our school, and nobody knew her. And she was a real basket case. Homely doesn’t cover it. She was large, with a a man-face, and man-hands (Seinfeld described it), uncombed hair, pimples breaking out, frumpy dressing … and she was militantly … odd. Weird. Sadly, she was teased unmercifully (I believe it’s called “bullying” today).

      So she tried-out for our football team. The teams response? She was “targeted” for EXTREME physicality. Everyone on the team took their hardest, nastiest, dirtiest shots at her. Hey! We’re all equal, right? We’re all in pads and a helmet … nobody “sees” your “gender”. She lasted two days … props to her for coming back for more the second day.

      I imagine what would have happened if every one of the (mediocre) athletes on our football team had tried-out for girls sports? Softball, for example. OMG! Girls sports would have immediately become “Boys”, err “Transitioning” Sports. Too bad we weren’t soooooo “liberated” then, as we are now. Too bad all our mediocre male athletes were DENIED their chance to win “Athlete of the Year” … in “girls” sports. It may have changed our lives forever.

  3. As a rule, what makes people laugh is an exaggerated truth. Comedians have relied upon this since the dawn of comedy.
    This is why the PC crowd and the SJWs are ruining comedy. To misquote a line from a movie “They can’t handle the truth”.
    This is also why so many top comedians won’t do gigs on a college campus anymore.

  4. Art no longer imitates life; they are one and the same. Again and again we’ll see a man claiming gold in some event while the women silver and bronze winners warmly embrace him and pretend that their acceptance of the charade gives the farce some kind of legitimacy.
