Who cares. I’m a mentally befuddled troll and I’m going to post a crazy RWNJ video I Hope makes you vomit. While I didn’t intend to capitalize the first letter in hope, I’ve decided not to correct myself.
You, however, may correct me until Rapture.
This video has things about Saudi Prince Bin Salmon, Zionism and other things, I forget but some of the way it’s presented is a little flakey so you may have to push through some of the less tasty morsels. There are 7 short videos.
This is us after the Left takes control.
OMG! We’re doomed.
It’s clear, you are the only one who speaks for everyone here.
I’m not sure your mind is ever clear. I speak for myself alone.
So by “we’re” doomed, you meant you, alone, are doomed?
That’s called sarcasm. You can google it.
This time, I am in the Paul Simon &. Garfunkel mode again. Accidentally I stumbled over this YouTube video and the latest comment by the user koshersalaami, which gives very interesting infos about where Simon got the melody for „American Tune“ from. Didn‘t know that.
„The melody has a long history. It wasn’t original with Bach either, or even with the guy he got it from. It started as a secular song by a composer named Hans Leo Hassler in 1601, called Mein G’Mut is Mir Verwirret. About fifty years later, a composer named Paul Gerhardt changed the rhythm and set sacred words to it, using it as a hymn. He called it O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden. Bach took that hymn and set the melody in his St. Matthew’s Passion, where it recurs multiple times (the Passion is quite long). In this setting, it is sung chorale style, it is not an instrumental piece. It’s used a few other times before Paul Simon gets to it, but those times are basically settings of what Bach did. Liszt used it but altered it very little. There’s an American version from the '40’s called Because All Men Are Brothers which was recorded by a few people - there’s even a Dave Brubeck version. Then we get to Simon, who altered it a lot more than anyone else after Bach, bringing something new to the use of the melody.“
I don’t about white culture but this is definitely American culture.
Record-breaking #1 song. Country/Rap or is it Rap/Country
I fear if I get it wrong I will be labeled racist.
I just can’t keep listening to Simon and Garfunkel and you should have to either lol.
This one is going out to Michele.

Aww…I’m flattered, Will. You must be missing me. It has been a long time since we have given each other a kind word.
I’ve missed you too. Hope you cry all day. You deserve it.
Yeah, I miss those good conversations.
I miss the kind words.
My favourite song by Simon.
