To me they are brussell sprouts and should only be consumed under the fear of a severe beating by a nun with a ruler....

Cake - I Will Survive

Too many really bad memories of that era makes it really difficult to even give that song half a chance. They tried to make it better but the song itself makes me want to puke!

Watching the LAST WALTZ on palladia - forgot how good it was...

Good stuff JuBru! Glenn Miller was a musical genius, a real icon in music history. Very innovative. And....an American hero. He died in a plane crash in France during WWII. Doing his part with his band to entertain our gallant troops over there. A terrible loss. The world of music was short-changed....

My parents were HUGE Miller fans, and I was raised with his music playing on the old Hi-Fi. 33 rpms, baby!

This is an absolute music classic:

And this in keeping with the whole "Red Tails" theme.

And Bette Midler did a good cover of the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy in 1971. Even my Dad gave her a thumbs up for it.
