It's going to be a fun time when that happens for the first time.

There is no such thing as the Republican Party. It is 100% dead, and replaced by the MAGA Party. The Republicans may not have cheated, but cheating and corruption is the MAGA brand, and they can't help themselves.

Even if every poll showed MAGA winning by 30 points, they'd STILL cheat, because they wouldn't know how to NOT cheat.

We did NOT vote for Trump, they cheated, and we ALL know it. He is an illegitimate leader, and should be removed from power in any way necessary.

I found Animals to be the most difficult to get into, but once it clicked, it became one of my favorites. It's a great album, but The Wall still beats it, in my opinion.

I'm old, too, and going back and filling in gaps in my music knowledge base, and listening to a lot of stuff I've been meaning to for decades.

However, I have also realized that my favorites have solidified, after decades of listening and deciding. Pink Floyd, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Who, Yes, Led Zep, and a few others have fought their way to the front of the pack.

The Wall is not only my favorite Pink Floyd album, it's my favorite album of all time.

I was a music history major when it came out, and I studied it like it was a Beethoven symphony. I became convinced that it was a 20th century music masterpiece along the lines of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue or Porgy & Bess, Bernstein's West Side Story, Rogers & Hammerstein's South Pacific or Sound of Music, The Beatles Sgt Pepper or Abby Road, etc.

Almost 50 years later, and my opinion still stands.

BTW, Paradoxically, DSOTM is probably the greatest album of all time, from an artistic and influential point of view. I just think The Wall is a masterpiece.

You need a job, so anything goes. Your only objective is to get hired, and you should do anything you can to achieve that. Corporations do whatever they can to brutally weed out applicants, so it's perfectly fair to defend your application in any way you can, including flat-out lying. If they don't check you close enough, and you get by and get hired, that's on them.

Our country is under MAGA Nazis rule, and that is nothing to celebrate. Independence Day should be a Day of Resistance, until the MAGA Nazis lose their control.
