  1. Excellent on many levels!

    How many times can a man turn his head
    Pretending that he just doesn’t see

    Oh, the answer, my friend, blowin’ in the wind
    The answer: blowin’ in the wind

    And as far as AGW goes, this fits Inhofe perfectly. Maybe he will see the “answer” when waves of tornados blow through OK on a daily basis.


  2. Thanks for that, Peter. Sam was such a terrific singer, and the interracial harmony we see here is a very nice addition! Most amazing was the band and Sam’s ability to keep things on the backbeat while the audience, with its Western European rootsiness, clapped on the upbeat. I always find that amusing…it’s less prevalent today, thankfully, likely due to years of training on Soul Train and other cool spots.
