Summer Breeze
See the curtains hangin’ in the window, in the evenin’ on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin’ through the window, lets me know everything is alright
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper layin’ in the sidewalk, a little music from the house next door
So I walked on up to the doorstep, through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine’s in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home from a hard day’s work
And you’re waiting there, not a care in the world
See the smile a-waitin’ in the kitchen, food cookin’ and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me, in the evening when the day is through
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Part of the cultural reeducation of this generation is to convince them that those over 40 are personally responsible for all the ills of the world. They have zero idea of what really went on at any time prior to their personal awareness kicking in and little desire to correct that defect. They believe that when we’re all dead their enlightened generation led by their clay-footed idols will clear all of these ills in just a few months by recycling their imported water bottles and eating local, sustainable and organic foods.

Pinterest continues to think that I am a flaming liberal, no matter how many times I delete their liberal/pro-abortion/pro-gay marriage/pornographic pins. But because they suffer under this delusion, I get pins by stupid Millennials, including one last week featuring Millenials weeping about how they were deluded by capitalists into buying bread when they could be making it themselves!
I don’t think my generation can cure any of the world’s ills, no matter what they fantasize about. First they have to master basics again, like making bread instead of buying it.

Never heard Greg Rolie’s name. He’s the keyboardist on Santana’s Black Magic Woman, on the organs. He’s also the guy singing. Yesterday was his birthday. Always wondered who the guy singing for Santana was. Now I know. Thanks to the AoSHQ overnight thread. Greg was also a member of Journey. The things you learn.
Also I found, this morning, a funk band from the 70s I had never heard, or even heard of, called the LaFayette Afro Rock Band. It’s some of the best music I’ve never heard. Apparently they were from NYC in the 70s, thought the USA was a glut of funk bands, so they moved to Paris, and that’s why I’ve never heard of them. Used as a seed on Pandora got me ten other beautiful funk bands I’ve never heard of. Just great stuff.
This morning, after talking with my dad for an hour, I rode down to the local public outdoor piano with Lafayette Afro Rock Band playing on my JBL, and tore that piano up. Funk like that is so easy and fun to improvise to. And it makes people smile, and even dance. I didn’t even sit down on the bench.

@7:40, the Beeb’s narrator, describing Rollo, the Norwegian giant, almost spitting out the words in disgust:
“…he was skilled in using the usual Viking tools of violence and chaos…”
I wonder when the BBC will use those words and that disgust to describe Muslims in their very midst, conquering them. Probably more than a thousand years after they are gone. When they can no longer kill you for speaking blunt, honest truth. It’s so easy to speak as if disgusted about Vikings, a thousand years later, for the BBC.
I like the show so far, but it’s so stereotypically cowardly for the English. So “nice”. Very well-produced, too, like our NPR and PBS, giving it the patina of authority.
We have to wait a thousand years for the BBC to speak angry and honest truth about Muslims. That’s just how the British roll.

I don’t personally know this, but I would bet my last dollar they have, and that they are working on another self-flagellation series, and another glowing, lionizing series about Islam.
