Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. CCCLXIX--Jo Stafford: You Belong to Me
I must be channeling my late father these past couple of weeks--during the pandemic lockdown I redid my record collection, and as I was sorting through them, I found an album by this week's artist (whom I had discovered like previous Friday Night Jukebox stalwarts Johnny Mathis and Vic Damone on the 4-CD set Sentimental Journey) among the records my father had given me shortly before his death. And as an added bonus, it even had this week's tune on it....
Jo Stafford, who, outside of this week's song I was completely unfamiliar with prior to my weekly half-assed research, turned out to have actually had quite an interesting and varied career. Born in Coalinga, California in 1917, Stafford began performing at the age of twelve, joined her sisters' trio The Stafford Sisters in her late teens, joined the Pied Pipers in the late 30's, and eventually became part of big band leader Tommy Dorsey's orchestra, performing background vocals with the likes of Frank Sinatra. As time wore on, Stafford began recording as a solo artist and continued to meet with both critical and commercial success. In the early sixties, she and her second husband, Paul Weston, formed a parody duo, Jonathan and Darlene Edwards, for which they went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album in 1961. Stafford continued performing into the 1980's before retiring. For her career, Stafford released 88 singles and some 110 albums (a good many of which are compilations). Ms. Stafford has three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, appeared in movies, and had several different TV shows (which mostly featured her singing). She passed away in 2008.
Fun Fact: Jo Stafford is the first woman to have a #1 hit on the U.K. Singles chart--which appropriately enough, was this week's featured song.
"You Belong to Me" was recorded by numerous artists after its release in 1952, but Jo Stafford's version was the most popular, reaching #1 in both the United States and (as noted above) Great Britain. She originally released it only as a single, and it was not on one of her albums until appearing (not surprisingly) on a compilation album, The Hits of Jo Stafford, in 1964.
"You Belong to Me" comes from an era when musicians spent years honing their craft (and that's not an indictment of today's musicians, just a standard from another era), and it's easy to see how fifteen years of singing professionally made Jo Stafford's voice into the perfect instrument for carrying the sentiments of this song into our hearts and minds. There's a confidence and a smoothness to her singing that allows her sultry performance to stand above the usual fare, and the orchestra behind her hits all the right notes (in more ways than one). This one's not for everyone--it's a ballad from another time in America's history (it was originally written with a WWII soldier in mind, traveling with the troops), but if you're a fan of female vocalists this one is about as good as it gets.
Lyric Sheet: "See the pyramids along the Nile/Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle/Just remember, darling, all the while/You belong to me..."

Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. CCCLXVIII--Jim Croce: I Got a Name
This week's tune is a bit on the bittersweet side for me personally, as Jim Croce was one of the few modern (at that time) artists that my Dad really loved, and the song is in some ways about the name that family members carry together, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse...though in our case, for the most part, it's been for the better.
Jim Croce was born in Philadelphia in 1943, got interested in music while attending Villanova University, and began trying to make a career of it after he graduated in 1965. Croce spent a number of years performing with his girlfriend (and later wife) Ingrid before becoming a solo artist in the early 70's. Croce toured and worked odd jobs to support his family until his third album became a hit, which started his career in full force. Sadly, Croce and members of his entourage were killed in a plane crash on September 20, 1973 in Natchitoches, Louisiana. He would have a number of posthumous hits through the seventies, and would eventually be inducted into the Songwriters Hell of Fame. For his career, Croce released five studio albums of which he had one #1, a #2, and a #7; after his death, three live albums and twenty-one (!) compilations were released. Croce also released twelve singles, with two #1's and three more that reached the top ten. In addition to his wife, Croce left behind a two-year-old son--who himself would later go on to become a musician (A.J. Croce).
(Not so) Fun Fact: Shortly after his death, Croce's wife Ingrid received a letter he had written before the plane crash that took his life in which he told her that he was tired of life on the road and was going to give up the music business and try to make a living writing short stories and movie screenplays so he could spend more time at home.
"I Got a Name" was released the day after his death, and his final studio album, also entitled I Got a Name, followed two months later. The single reached #10 (with a bullet!) on the Billboard Hot 100, while the album would peak at #2 on the Billboard 200.
In "I Got a Name" (one of the few songs he performed that he didn't pen), Croce tells the story of a man who's at peace with himself, his life, and his journey--and he does it with carefree vocals and a catchy as all hell melody throughout. Croce made a career out of writing clever pop songs about characters he'd met during his brief time on earth, but he uses that experience a touch more subtly in this one and it allows us to follow the narrator's dream as if it were our own. A nice piece of seventies pop from a man that fate took from us all too soon.
Lyric Sheet: "I've got a dream, I've got a dream/Well, I know I can share it if you want me to/If you're going my way, I'll go with you..."

No, we haven't been perfect, but when you compare all we've done in one year and what Trump and republicans accomplished during his four years (one thing--his tax cuts which were reviled by all but Corporate America and the rich and did absolutely nothing to help the economy) it's like comparing Einstein's IQ to Trump's IQ--no contest.
And it should be a huge talking point in this year's election: Do Americans want to move the country forward or do they want to live in an authoritarian third world country? Because if we put these delusional republicans back in charge, it's only a matter of time before we're starving and disease ridden under Herr Schitler.

| Dupes to the left of me, dupes to the right... |
When not drinking their own pee to cure COVID-19, it seems the latest cause celebre for republicans is to rail about schools that are providing litter boxes in their bathrooms for the students who identify as cats. In fact, Michigan GOP Chair Meshawn Maddock went so far as to post on her Facebook page that republicans in Michigan will take back our schools and end such travesties.
Needless to say, there is absolutely no truth to these republican claims (and Midland Parks school Superintendent Michael E. Sharrow, the leader of the school district where the nutjob who spoke before the Board of Education shared her beyond stupid allegation, had to waste his time refuting her idiocy), and while this one is pretty funny, it still shows the depths to which the right wing in this country has sunk.
The republican crazy train has come completely off the rails, and stories like this are only going to become more commonplace. These people are crazier than a shithouse rat, and we need to do everything in our power to ensure that they never control our government again.

Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. CCCLXVII--The Lumineers: Ho Hey
[For those excited about a Friday Night Jukebox post actually appearing on a Friday, note that this one is a week late...sorry!]
My introduction to this week's tune was its featuring in a commercial (thanks to my half-assed research I discovered it was for the search engine Bing). I took a chance and bought the CD based on the song...and hated it. A few weeks later I came home from work one night and my wife was playing an album on the stereo that was quite good. When I asked what it was, she replied "The Lumineers album you hated." I spent the next several months enjoying it on my rides to and from work....
The Lumineers got their start in 2005 in New Jersey when Wesley Schulz and Jeremiah Fraites began writing songs together. After a gig in which the emcee accidentally introduced them by the name of the band they were replacing, they became the Lumineers (the word has no meaning). They relocated to Denver in 2009, and in 2011 released their debut album, which became a hit, and the rest as they say, is history. Much to my surprise, the band has done quite well through these last ten years, becoming one of the top touring bands and having a string of hit records, the last of which was released just last week. For their career, The Lumineers have released four studio albums with the first three charting at #2, #1, and #2. They've also released 19 singles, though only the first three reached the charts. They have had three world tours, opened for U2 in 2017, and have been nominated for two Grammy Awards, as well.
Fun Fact: In a fact that only people born on June 4th will appreciate, they Lumineers released this week's single on my something-somethingth birthday: June 4, 2012.
"Ho Hey" was the first single released from the very aptly titled debut LP, The Lumineers. The single was the highest charting of their career, reaching #3 (with a bullet!) on the Billboard Hot 100. As noted above, the album peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200.
For a song that was originally written to annoy members of their concert audience who were bored (that's what the "Ho" and "Hey" shouts were originally for), "Ho Hey" became a pretty darn good little single. Ostensibly a tale about a boy telling a girl she's dating the wrong guy because said boy is the one who loves her most, it's chock full of catchy choruses, the "Ho/Hey" shouts punctuate the song with a funky rhythm, and the band members make the most of two acoustic guitars, a mandolin, and a cello. If nothing else, it's proof that America's folk tradition is alive and well, and capable of adapting to any era and music fans of any age...and can make an old fart folkie like me bounce around the house singing it for days.

I don’t know if the president made a promise to Beau about helping to raise the president’s grandchildren — but it’s been flagged that Biden spends time on weekends with those kids often enough that I really *don’t get* what some writers think they’re driving at here. https://t.co/qIpvTJigkR

The New York Times on Martin Luther King, Jr.
We wanted to understand the mark Martin Luther King Jr. left on America. So we talked to three white guys in Thin Blue Line t-shirts at a Waffle House in Stone Mountain.

I'm not--republicans DO NOT care about anyone but themselves
2,000 people a day are still dying, 100,000 are in the hospital with COVID. Is there some reason so many people no longer think this matters? I'm stunned by the callousness. https://t.co/BPlR4KPJCv

Exactly!
CNN's @oliverdarcy: "I'll reiterate that it's time for actual news organizations to stop calling Fox a news network. It's not. It's a right-wing talk channel that has spent the past year misleading viewers about Jan 6 with a flood of lies & conspirac[ies]" https://t.co/rabX520KCR

Bet you Jeopardy is super glad it didn't consider Erring Rodgers for its host
When revealed to be a selfish, petulant jackass, a person can either reflect on their behavior or find a book that tells them that all their repugnant qualities are just part of what makes them special. In unrelated news, Aaron Rodgers just discovered Atlas Shrugged.

Proof that it's easier to get people to believe a big lie than a small one
Tens of millions of Republican voters have been convinced of a stolen national election without a single shred of evidence, ever. It's really a case study in mass delusion.

It's time for Garland to shit or get off the pot
Mueller told Congress he was unable to fully prove criminal conspiracy between Trump and Russia DUE TO ALL OF THE OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE! And that Trump could be indicted for obstruction of justice upon leaving office. Garland's refusal to prosecute should result in his firing

Nothing more than partisan hacks

| Shattered... |
Any pretense anyone had left that the Supreme Court might remain above the political fray ended today when the six republican justices condemned thousands of Americans to death when they--and they alone--ruled that Joe Biden's vaccine mandate could not stand. Whatever scholarly or legal reputations these six justices had is dead.
The Supreme Court is now officially the Fox News of our Justice system, and henceforward will carry all the gravitas of a wet fart.

Now we just have to turn that blame into votes
BREAKING: Nearly a year after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a strong majority of Americans condemn it and believe former Pres. Trump is at least partially to blame, new @ABC News/Ipsos poll finds. https://t.co/UvBjDN4USG

Because they're lying sacks of shit?
One year on, still cannot get a straight answer to how 140 House Republicans said they would object to Biden’s win on basis of fraud, and yet not object to House Republican wins that came on the same ballot.
