one song mix

I’m So Worried, I Told You I Was Worried

Leave a comment

No, no, I’m really not all that worried.

It’s time for another one song mix!

This mix comes from Mayo Thompson’s 1970 album Corky’s Debt To His Father, which was reissued by the Chicago label Drag City several years ago. Mayo Thompson is the creative force behind The Red Krayola.

Again, I present a song that you may not like, but I absolutely love. What would it hurt to give it a try, hmm?

Mayo Thompson – Worried, Worried

And here are some lyrics from the song that I really love, too.

The president and the police
In their golden fleece
They are looking for peace
Just like you or I might
But it’s in their own way
And it just ain’t the same
And it gives us all a terrible fright

Enjoy it (or don’t)!

Revisiting an infrequent feature, in an effort to combat the winter blahs. I didn’t perfectly represent the branch arrangements graphically, but I am happy enough with them to publish here.

The Writers’ Strike Is Over!

Per CNN:

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — Striking Hollywood writers will be back at their keyboards Wednesday after voting overwhelmingly to end a 100-day walkout that essentially shut down the entertainment industry.

More than 92 percent of the Writers Guild of America members who cast ballots Tuesday in Los Angeles and New York voted to end their work stoppage over residuals for writing in the digital age, including new media and the Internet. The new deal is for three years.

As a proud consumer of TV and film, I look forward to sampling the dramatic and comedic delicacies once again being cooked up in the heads of our talented writers.

All kidding aside, it’s good to have you back.
