Top 20 songs from 1972, not ranked

11/13

Elton John - Rocket Man

Still one of the most haunting songs ever written.
The pain of isolation, longing, duty, and extreme distances.

"And I think it's going to be a long, long time"

Elton John - Rocket Man (Royal Festival Hall, London 1972)
Elton’s second concert at London’s Royal Festival Hall was an opportunity for him and his band to perform their newly-recorded album Honky Château in its entirety. This live debut of ‘Rocket Man’ two months before its release as the album’s first single is striking in its freshness and its ability to nearly replicate the studio arrangement on stage. The line-up of Davey (guitar), Dee Murray (bass) and Nigel Olsson (drums) immediately established itself as the “classic” Elton band, solidifying Elton’s studio and stage presence through his most prolific period.

Stop using the language of the rapist.

It is not sex with children, it is rape of children.
It is not underage girls, it is children.
It is not sex trafficking, it is rape trafficking.

Tariffs are taxes imposed by one country on goods imported from another country.

Tariffs are intended to make domestic goods and services more competitive by making imported products more expensive. But in reality, tariffs burden domestic businesses and consumers. taxfoundation.org/taxedu/video...
Tariffs Are Taxes Too
Even though tariffs are invisible, their effects clearly are not. They might be sold as a tool to strengthen the economy, but tariffs are just taxes that make everyone worse off.

Remembering that night in the not so distant past when the band played a show in Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱 on November 4, 2008—an Election Day (like today) back in the States. A memorable encore ensued with a rousing version of “I Believe.” 🗳️

DILANIAN: “Trump is weaponizing the DOJ, Merrick Garland slowed it down under Biden out of fear of looking political.”

Many will say this is wrong and claim Biden went after Trump. What those people are missing is Trump actually did crimes.

Trump and Republicans just passed a tax cut that will gift $100B annually to the richest 1%.

$100B could fund SNAP for a year.

It's not a matter of what this country can or can't afford. It's about priorities.

People are starting to understand this.
Brooke Rollins: "I guess the silver lining in all of this is that we're having a national conversation on our SNAP program. This has shined a light on a program that especially under the last administration has just become so bloated."

There he goes again
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Kluwe: They’re trying to get even more seats for Trump.

If you’re willing to sacrifice American values and democracy, then you can wave all the flags you want, but you’re not an American—you’ve decided you want a king, and you’re okay with that. And frankly, I’m not okay with that.

Supertramp releases “Goodbye Stranger” 46 years ago today — a song Rick Davies wrote on his childhood piano.

Is it about a one-night stand, inspired by the band’s adventures on the road?

“Yeah, it is. It turned out to be that. I didn’t know what it was when I wrote it.”
