The magic number is 270....
Music Monday
Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel … The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo. Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
Hey, did you know that there is an actual movement to sidestep the Electoral College without a Constitutional amendment? I was shocked to learn this. It's a compact with various states signing on, promising to assign their electors to the winner of the national popular vote. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact#:~:text=The%20National%20Popular%20Vote%20Interstate,and%20the%20District%20of%20Columbia.)
ReplyDeleteNew York and California are already on board. Colorado approved it this election.
I know all about it...I’d love to see it happen.
DeleteI am amazed (and discouraged) that there wasn't a landslide.
ReplyDeleteMe too. It's sad to think nearly half of Americans are willing to overlook so much for, I can't even say so little, for nothing. Most Americans are not better off!
