The Good Stuff



There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. --  Duke Ellington

This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

God as my witness I would have gone in that School with anything or nothing

 

Our Governor, at a press conference immediately after the incident, spent the entire time talking about the 'bravery' of the police.   Now, he claims he was 'misled' as to the actual events that took place.  But you know, normal people don't want to hear about the 'bravery' of cops when 19 children are lying dead.  That should not be the first thing out of his mouth.  Just goes to show you how shallow and unfeeling some people are.  They recite the same political nonsense without any sense or appreciation of time, place or circumstance.  Like robots with a shorted circuit.

The cops:  A big cowboy hat and a gun does not make you a hero.  Action does.

The only good thing of combat is you know who you are.

The worst thing is you know but turn away till you don’t remember .
