As I comment on your blog, I’m listening to Los Lobos, Guantanamera on iTunes. Only 11,110! Why not 11, 111?
Churchill was known to be quite a drinker. Once, during the War, the temperance ladies came in to assail him on the matter.
“Mr. Churchill, we understand that all the liquor you’ve consumed during the war would fill this room five feet deep.”
Churchill looked around, took in the high ceilings, and replied.
“So much have we done. So much have we to do.”
And so, to iTunes infinity and beyond.
historically alcohol gets a pass, a wink, a nod from the garden club ladies: “the ol rounder, god luv him”. giggle giggle nudge nudge.
these are the same ladies who see to it that youngsters go to jail for a little bit of marijuana. spare me the churchill stories.
churchill is always trotted out when the (usually american) garden club ladies (or in this case conversely their husbands) want to make a point appear irrefutable because winston reputedly farted it out of his unassailable fundament. churchill was an asshole.
Another reason I love your blog… you remind me of tunes I need to put on MY iPod. Thanks.
Oh yeah, the book suggestions are good too.
