Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

I really should read my own blog.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

No Justins, No Peace

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

I’ve grown bored with single issue open threads.

So, number one, use this thread to talk about the NFL.

And, number two, you know how some songs have a spoken intro? Like “Do You Love Me”, for example. What song has the best spoken intro? I’m going with “Let’s Just Kiss And Say Goodbye” or “Everybody Needs Somebody”.

    I really like the intro for Terence Trent D’Arby’s “If You Let Me Stay.” Not very original words, but I love how it starts with a little keyboard trill, then works with the background hook leading into the song.

    Also, anything spoken by Barry White.

    Go Stillers!

    Depends on what you mean by “best.”

    Man, any Elvis live recording from 1969 on is bound to yield serious contenders for most entertaining, if one enjoys drug-addled ramblings. I guess I do.

    @canuckistani:

    How about “Let’s Go Crazy” by Prince?

    That was the first that came to my mind, too. It also reminded me of Kevn Kinney’s intro in “Broken Hearts and Auto Parts”: “Are you ready… to rock?”

    Natalie Merchant gives a nice historical introduction to her live version of “Gold Rush Brides”, which I think is well done.

    Are they playing football today? Huh. Well, I never watch sports in September. Baseball should be interesting but pennant races are mostly boring, Hockey hasn’t really started, don’t watch basketball, no freaky sports on, and football still contains the pre-season stupid.

    I always loved Neil Young’s intro to “Don’t Let It Bring You Down,” which is, I suppose, technically not a spoken word intro to the song (like “Rocky Racoon” has) BUT which delighted me as a kid with its “starts off real slow and then fizzles out altogether.”

    I’m partial to my girl Kristi Rose’s cover of “Ode To Billy Joe.” She tells a long story about lyin’ in her daddy’s two-tone automobile when an angel came through the AM radio and told her, “Kristi Rose? You can be anything you wanna be, even if that somebody is already Bobbie Gentry!”

    You can get a taste of it on this YouTube clip, but it’s rather subdued, as she doesn’t have a band, just her husband playing acoustic guitar. With a band, she goes into full-on Aimee Semple McPherson mode, and it. is. amazing.

    The sun is shining, the grass is green,
    The orange and palm trees sway.

    There’s never been such a day

    Any of you old fucks remember the “Legend of The Uss Titanic” by Jamie Brockett?

    He walks on over to the First Mate.
    He says “hey first mate what’s that you smokin’?”
    He says.. “that ain’t nothin’ but a little ol’ cigarette captain”
    n’ he says “I don’t believe it. Gimme a puff”
    n’ he says “alright.”

    So the captain takes himself a little puff. Nothin’ happened right away.
    He says “it’s alright, it’s alright. It’s just a cigarette. I’m goin’ for a walk” And that’s what he did, folks. He went for a walk. He went.. he went out walkin’ around the boat he went walkin’ toward the wheelhouse he.. he walked around.

    He walked around the wheelhouse once……. He walked around the wheelhouse twice……. On the third time around the wheelhouse……. The First Mate he looked on over at the Captain n’……. N’ he say……. You wanna ‘nother toke, Captain?…… And the Captain, he say……. RIGHT!!!!!!!!

    So this time he’s gonna tell the captain a little bit about this smoke that he’s smokin’. He says “now the idea, Captain, the idea is to get this smoke way down deep inside your tummy n’ hold it there just as long as you can it’ll make you head feel good all inside. So the Captain says alright he takes himself three big tokes off that funny little brown weed n’
    He says “I am commencing to hold it in!”

    Mitt is a Narcissist. (NPD) This is why he flip flops. Hes the ultimate hollow man who will say whatever he needs to to solicit narcissistic supply from whoever is in front of him. This is why his campaign is so incompetent. Hes a shallow Hal who is threatened by experts outside his area of expertise. This is why he imagines that playing up Bill’s SNC splash is a real zinger. He’s sheltered on top of everything else and imagines that everyone is as insecure as he is.

    I feel not pity or mercy but I do feel sorry for Ann. Living with an NPD person is a special kind of hell that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

    Oh, and the sociopathy or aspergery symptoms? Explained by NPD. Narcissists can be quite cruel as in their world only their feelings matter. Sociopaths think others’ feelings aren’t real and ASD folks can’t read nonverbal cues and so don’t have a good notion as to what others are feeling.

    ”

    Into my life on waves of electrical sound
    And flashing light she came,
    Into my life with the twist of a dial
    The wave of her hand — the warmth of her smile.
    And even though I know that you and I
    Could never find the kind of love we wanted together,
    Alone I find myself missing you and I, you and I.

    It’s not very often that something special happens
    And you happen to be that something special for me.
    And walking on grass where we rolled and laughed in the moonlight
    I find myself thinking of you and I, you and I, you.

    Into my eye comes visions of patterns
    Designs the image of her I see.
    Into my mind the smell of her hair,
    The sound of her voice — we once were there.

    And even though I know that you and I
    Could never find the kind of love we wanted together,
    Alone, I find myself missing

    You and I,

    On a personal note. I was enlisted to video tape Peter Wolf and his band at the Strand in Redondo Beach. He liked how I was working the shots and pulled me up on stage for the rest of the show (like in Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark”). Had to pretend I was still taping when the battery died.

    Funny thing, I never saw the tape (not like it mattered). Major thrill standing on stage next to the drum kit watching Wolf rock the house.

    OTOH, I’ve never run a marathon (did the Honda Fun Ride a couple of times – including pouring rain – at about 2;40 IIRC))

    Would be to capture me
    But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
    I fell and it was swell

    I’m your big and brave and handsome Romeo
    How I won you I shall never never know
    It’s not that you’re attractive
    But, oh, my heart grew active
    When you came into view

    (cue music)

    I’ve got a crush on you, sweetie pie
    All the day and night-time give me sigh
    I never had the least notion that
    I could fall with so much emotion

    Could you coo, could you care
    For a cunning cottage we could share
    The world will pardon my mush
    ‘Cause I have got a crush on you

    Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
    Jerry lee lewis was the devil
    Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
    All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
    So there was only one thing that I could do
    Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

    How this is not in the top 100 comments I shall never understand.

    For the ultimate “cool” (bluesy-jazzy) Lou Rawls, check out the album he did with the Les McCann Trio: Stormy Monday. All primo stuff. Check out his take on “God Bless the Child.”

    Alternately, a really good “greatest hits” album is The Very Best of Lou Rawls.

    Everybody plays the Fool – Main Ingedient

    Okay, so your heart is broken
    You sit around mopin’
    Cryin’ and cryin’
    You say you`re even thinkin’ about dyin’
    Well, before you do anything rash, dig this:

    Everybody plays the fool sometime
    There’s no exception to the rule
    Listen, baby, it may be factual, may be cruel
    I ain’t lyin’, everybody plays the fool
    Falling in love is such an easy thing to do
    And there’s no guarantee that the one you love
    Is gonna love you

    Spoken intro song? “Seductive Barry,” by Pulp. Very meta, as Barry White was the king of the spoken intro…

    Throw an illegal procedure flag on me – it’s debatable that Wayne ever really properly sings – but I’m throwing out there the sublime The Flaming Lips’ song One More Robot/Sympathy 2000-21.

    Cuz you how the Rs can’t find a decent song to play at their rallies without the artist going all cease-and0desist on their ass? I have a solution; I’d think I’d approve of this song being played for a Romney/Ryan really. It captures their hopes, right?

    Unit three thousand twenty one is warming
    Makes a humming sound when its circuits duplicate emotions
    And a sense of coldness detaches
    As it tries to comfort your sadness

    One more robot learns to be something more than a machine
    When it tries the way it does make it seem like it can love
    ‘Cause it’s hard to say what’s real when you know the way you feel
    Is it wrong to think its love when it tries the way it does

    Feeling a synthetic kind of love
    Dreaming a sympathetic wish
    As the lights blink faster and brighter

    One more robot learns to be something more than a machine
    When it tries the way it does make it seem like it can love
    ‘Cause it’s hard to say what’s real when you know the way you feel
    Is it wrong to think it’s love when it tries the way it does.

    Jim Morrison in his best revival preacher voice:

    When I was back there in seminary school
    There was a person there
    Who put forth the proposition
    That you can petition the Lord with prayer
    Petition the lord with prayer
    Petition the lord with prayer
    You cannot petition the lord with prayer!

    Brrrrruuuuce and his long intros to “The River” and “War” on the Live 1975-1985 album. I especially love the story he tells about his relationship with his Dad around the time he got his draft notice. Very moving.

    For sheer sexiness, listen to “Hey Pretty,” by Poe. Her brother does a spoken word intro reading from one of his books. It’s about fast cars and a hot girl, or maybe it’s a hot car and a fast girl…

    One of my favorites, though not on record, was Springsteen’s intro to “Angel Eyes” at the Frank Sinatra 80th birthday broadcast. All about going with his mom looking for his dad in bars, Sinatra’s Angel Eyes playing on a juke box, etc. etc.

    @rea:

    Great selection. When asked why no one has yet offered this or that track, one has to remember human data banks aren’t quite as retrieval friendly as teh Great Gazoogle.

    But we get by with a little help from our friends.

    Hey! “Magical Mystery Tour” is one too!
