Sunday Music: Life In The Fast Lane
Third single from 26x platinum album Hotel California (1976), which peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in '77. The late '70s in a nutshell, and the song was spawned by new guy Joe Walsh's guitar pre-game practice riff, which opens the song.
Joe Walsh is an amazing guitarist, no doubt. The band he was a part of, was not the band I really liked; I'll always be a fan of the Bernie Leadon Eagles. Boat Guy
Zelensky posted the following (english translation cribbed from various sources) to his Telegram account, in response to the Russian missile strikes on city power plants. If I'm going to remember September 11 for something, I think I'd rather remember it for this man and these words:
https://t.me/V_Zelenskiy_official/3203 ===
Even through the impenetrable darkness, Ukraine and the civilized world clearly see these terrorist acts. Deliberate and cynical missile strikes on civilian critical infrastructure. No military facilities. Kharkiv and Donetsk regions were cut off. In Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Sumy there are partial problems with power supply.
Do you still think that we are "one people"? Do you still think that you can scare us, break us, force us to make concessions? Don't you really get it? Don't you understand who we are, what we stand for, what we are all about?
Read my lips: Without gas or without you? Without you. Without light or without you? Without you. Without water or without you? Without you. Without food or without you? Without you.
Cold, hunger, darkness and thirst are not as frightening and deadly for us as your "friendship and brotherhood". But history will put everything in its place. And we will be with gas, light, water, and food ... and WITHOUT you!
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

Joe Walsh is incredible and was a great addition to the Eagles.

Lets not forget James Gang.
