Reader Tips

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Saturday night contemporary music show, here are Blood, Sweat & Tears performing the original album version of their Spinning Wheel (1969, 4:07).

David Clayton-Thomas was quoted as describing Spinning Wheel as being “written in an age when psychedelic imagery was all over lyrics [… it] was my way of saying, ‘Don’t get too caught up, because everything comes full circle'”.

Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.

  1. dp :
    Means your 100 points a head of me. At 95 I appear borderline retarded. I have no problem with the term, its called reality.

  2. ET and Batb, you are so right in your analysis and it pisses me off that these Liberal supporters don’t see the damage they are doing to our country. It seems the longer a country like ours goes without a war or major disaster the left continues to grow and spread their constricting tenticles everywhere smothering progress and the middle class. Their unceasing greed and sense of entitlement begs the Guillotine solution.
    One of my teacher friends has just put up a Liberal sign and I will be asking her why though I already know the answer. She and her friends are all Harris haters because he dared to question these infallible elitists.

  3. Ryan’s being unreasonable, Atlantic Jim. I think most readers
    can see that. I’d let it go (like when I decided not to argue with
    you about your silly definition of eastern Canada 😉

  4. “Canadians may not understand the details of the Grits’ Green Shift plan, but Bennett said they can have faith in the policy because it has received support from prominent Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki.”
    “Faith in God, traditionally.
    Or, as Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett tells us, faith in David Suzuki:
    Canadians may not understand the details of the Grits’ Green Shift plan, but Bennett said they can have faith in the policy because it has received support from prominent Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki.
    Wow. Based on that argument, the Liberals could simply forgo all the charts and tables and online calculators, and just throw up a picture of David Suzuki cast as the Burning Bush, handing over the Tablets of the Green Commandments to Stephane Dion, who will lead us to the Promised Green Land.
    But not Greenland. That belongs to Denmark.”
    “Carolyn Bennett to Canadians: Depend less on facts, and more on faith in David Suzuki”

  5. Ah, but you should try it from Alberta…
    Adam Sage, Aberdeen Angus forces French to admit Les Rosbifs are right
    French gastronomes have cast aside deep prejudice against l’Outre Manche (the Far Side of the Channel) to accept what most of the rest of the world recognises — the finest beef comes from Aberdeen Angus cattle…
    In perhaps the greatest accolade a food can earn in le pays de la gastronomie, Aberdeen Angus has been selected to provide the meat for La Bocuse d’Or, the world’s most prestigious cooking competition. Producers hope the triumph will pave the way for all upmarket British beef.

  6. Re: h.ryan comment above
    Jimbo here. I’m not sure what you’re referring to. My only comment on this thread was regarding the song posted by Vitruvius. (Spinning Wheel)
    Are you referring to someone else?
    ok – just noticed, I’m guessing you’re referring to AtlanticJim? There’s a lot of “Jims”, in various guises, but only one “Jimbo”.

  7. I agree with your comment first above, Jimbo, it does seem to me too that Blood, Sweat & Tears “had more in common with horn bands like Chicago“, as you said. Indeed, it was Chicago, along with Blood, Sweat & Tears, that comprised two of the first four LP albums I personally purchased as a young man, the others of course being a work by Cream, and, naturally, Ummagumma by Pink Floyd.
    I wouldn’t worry about Ryan though, he appears to just be in a pissy mood.

  8. Yaakov Katz, India seeks IDF help in Kashmir conflict
    OC Ground Forces Command Maj.-Gen. Avi Mizrahi paid an unscheduled visit to the disputed state of Kashmir last week to get an up-close look at the challenges the Indian military faces in its fight against Islamic insurgents.
    Mizrahi was in India for three days of meetings with the country’s military brass and to discuss a plan the IDF is drafting for Israeli commandos to train Indian counterterror forces.
    Under the proposed agreement, the IDF would send highly-trained commandos to train Indian soldiers in counterterror tactics, urban warfare and fighting in guerrilla settings…

  9. (Via Contentions) Jim Hoagland, A Baltic Response to the Bear
    Russia is developing a comprehensive strategy of bleeding American power around the globe. The United States must respond not at its point of greatest weakness, as the Bush administration may be tempted to do, but at its points of strength.
    Russia’s leaders have made it clear over the past month that their invasion of Georgia is not an isolated retaliation against a troublesome small neighbor. It is part of a broader effort by the Kremlin to establish new rules for big-power relations on its own terms while U.S. forces are stretched to their limits in the greater Middle East…

  10. Sorry Jimbo,it was AtlanticJim I was responding to.Vitruvius…I’m not in a pissy mood,I come here to seek sanctuary from leftism every where I go.From the so called news,work,celebrities,everyday conversations,leftism everywhere!In Kate’s site I have found like minded people,screaming at the radio”you don’t speak for me”!So when a so called Conservative calls Mr.Harper a disgrace,well I suppose I become a little irate.
