This made me laugh

See, I would have thought of D.L. Menard as Zydeco, but technically it looks like he's not. As I said, I would have been confused on this.

Of course, it's also possible that Cajuns haven't become White yet.

I'd like to become mauve. Mauve's a nice color.

Understand.   I had a close friend who had ideas I couldn't handle.    She, 100% Irish, was very anti-Irish.    Her son married a Latina woman.   Her granddaughter married an Italian.    When my friend looked at her first great grandchild, she said, "I just can't identify with him.   He's so funny looking.   But you know he's only one quarter white."    I knew I had to leave this friendship.

This is important. One would never imagine that the Cajun community today is uniformly white. Why would it be?

But back to Harlem and its historic connection with Evangeline… naw.*

It's too bad Chapman and Chinn never got around to Evangeline.

THANK YOU

[Wilfrid]

Yep, that works.

This song is new to me, and it is now both the best and the worst song I've ever heard in my life.

Amazingly, this one is new to me (they must have tried to bury it, at least in the U.S., even back then) -- and it might be even more offensive:

Oh, now I get the references to this song in the Hernandez Brothers comic "Love and Rockets".

I love Los Bros!

I just realized that being trapped in indecision about (1) which dip to serve with my plant-based veggie flats (I have 5 dips); and (2) whether to serve the same dip with my second snack, keto-friendly tortilla chips, is a bit of a first world problem.

I chose randomly.

The definition of irony: Tahoe City's Snow Festival was cancelled yesterday due to too much snow.

How tall is the lady on Wednesday?

Same as she was on Tuesday I guess.

(Search result I got for being curious about Jenna Ortega's height.)

I’m sorry.  I don’t wish most people ill and don’t think disease is funny.

But when I read about Celine Dion’s giving words of encouragement to fellow sufferers on Stiff Persons Awareness Day I lose it a little.

I wonder if Steppenwolf ever imagined that “Born to be Wild” would end up as the music on a TV ad for diapers?

[Sneakeater]

I actually read somewhere that that's what Mars Bonfire was thinking about when he wrote the song.  He was shocked when it came to be associated with motorcycles.

[Sneakeater]

Also, everybody thinks "Magic Carpet Ride" is about drugs, but John Kaye was really thinking about housecleaning.

[Wilfrid]

Also, “Alright Now” is the soundtrack for some kind of breathing or asthma med. Not quite as funny, but odd.

[Steve R.]

Cant wait to hear what "Monster" was about.

eta: other than it was about 70 minutes too long

I dunno, but I'm pretty sure "Rock Me" was about retirement.

Either that or a laxative.
