A Week Behind is a Lot

[Excuse] and [excuse] have kept me from blogging this past week, as well as [excuse], [excuse], and [excuse]. Note to self: fill in [these items] later. So very, very much has gone by! And prospects for doing much blogging are still slim. We’ll see.

My high school Spanish teachers were from Argentina. I learned two things: 1) Argentina Spanish is not like the rest of Western Hemisphere Spanish, and therefore, 2) I should never try my Spanish out lest I be mocked severely. Mostly, I’ve forgotten everything except baño, cerveza, and bibliotecha.

So, I cannot understand what this couple is saying, but it’s kind-of funny to watch anyway. Especially with the absolutely useless auto-generated English subtitles.

Love Ballad for the Social Distancing Age

Top video is not video (just a picture of the late, great, much-missed Mr. Goodman when he was young, hirsute, and a tad chunky). I heard Steve’s version of this before I ever heard Prine’s.

Second video is the song’s writer John Prine, live. According to this article, if I read aright, this performance was in the Autumn of 2019. He got old, voice not what it was.

So, I’ve included a third not-video of John Prine, with the distinctive voice I remember. If you’re not tired of the song by then.

The Daily Wire’s Andrew Klavan pokes some fun at Andrew Cuomo for his horrendous handling of the crisis in the state of New York, as well as New York City itself.
