    Thinking

    Back in the day 1964-65 ...
    Today's events reminded me of first attending
    President Lyndon Johnson's inaugural...

    Memories of living on Capitol Hill, Washington D.C. ...

    (Going to school being groomed/working as an intern,
    But soon my family had second thoughts of that and
    decided on my attending a Franciscan boarding
    school in upstate New York - I have always
    wondered what if - I had went on to have
    that full Capitol Hill experience?)

    The home was just around the corner from Eastern Market below -
    My school was on that same block, note i was among a minority
    in my class with three whites to thirty blacks - You could say
    i learned about race relations (Civil Rights era) early on
    in life compared to most young at the time. Though
    sometimes very stressful and tough, it did well
    prepare me for life.

    LOL

    And speaking old memories ...

    When i first heard this song (as a young teen) on AM radio in early 1965 ... I thought it was John Lennon and the Beatles!

    It's an appropriate sentimental tune for back then and now
    towards and regarding a former girlfriend and
    the U.S. government in general ...



    Lies

    Knickerbockers


    "Lies" is a song written by Beau Charles and Buddy Randell, performed by The Knickerbockers; the single was produced by Jerry Fuller. It reached #20 on the U.S. pop chart in 1965. It was featured on their 1966 album Lies and is famous for often being mistaken for a Beatles track due to its similarities to their style and harmonies.

    Here is what original Knickerbockers member Beau Charles said about the song's behind-the-scenes story:

    "We desperately tried to write something that sounded like the British Invasion'. We wrote 'Lies' in less than one half hour. We demo-ed it in New York." After a Jerry Fuller inspired re-arrangement, the track was recorded at Sunset Sound in West Hollywood with Bruce Botnick as the Engineer. Things were not quite right, so the multi-track master was taken to Leon Russell's house in Hollywood Hills. Jerry Fuller knew Leon and "Leon had this great little studio - just a four track". The band recorded the vocals there and overdubbed a new guitar part that was recorded from a beat up old Fender guitar amp that gave the guitar sound a meaty, edgy feel".

    I lived in Eastern Market for two and a half years. I rode the metro to work. I worked at law firms, one on M street and one at 15th and H. I could see the executive offices building and you could drive right in front of the White House.

    It was obviously ages ago...

    Can one, in fact, actually plumb the depths of pettiness? Or is it a void who's nadir is unobtainable?

    Well, look at it this way... It has to be extraterrestrial, because it's interstellar. Ergo, it comes from another solar system, not from Earth. So, yeah, it's definitely extraterrestrial.

    Question

    I have great judgment. I have good judgment.
    I know what's going on.
    Donald Trump
    Trump leaves office facing mounting debt, devalued assets and scarcity of willing lenders

    PBS NewsHour

    One of the consequences of the chaos of the U.S. Capitol is a distancing of banks and other business from former President Trump. He now faces a delicate and difficult situation with his businesses, debt and taxes. Paul Solman reports.
