The four year torture chamber. For four years, Gilbert O'Sullivan's awful one hit wonder

"Alone Again Naturally" has been blaring away at us in our homes and neighborhood. It was really that bad for us all, yes?

Yesterday around lunch time, someone finally turned it off. We can hear the birds again, or GOOD music....

I slept very well last night, woke up happy and refreshed....imagine that!

Happy Biden/Harris First Full Day, all!

I thought Alone Again Naturally was a great song, but it would have been even better if he had kept in the verse about his gerbil eating her babies.

The penalty for living through those years is that for every truly golden oldie, you must remember some real cheese as well.
