The last time I heard a song I liked that was new
Was Bad Guy by Billie Eilish
Now a new song has emerged
Rich Men North of Richmond by Oliver Anthony
It talks of low wages matched with low value of the US dollar
My Dad once said, "I never made that much when I was working."
I said Dad you got it all wrong
In today's dollars your 13 dollars an hour(1979) would be worth over 54 dollars today
Can you imagine the lifestyle I would have if I made over 100 grand a year?
Like Ross Perot said in 1992, Trickle down economics didn't trickle folks
I see it played out in every job I ever had
It's not just the low pay, it's the poor treatment at all of these places
Many have just given up and went on drugs or welfare
It's a damn shame what the world's come to
For people like me and people like you

This world we live in
has become crazier...
where tradition... values & morals
have been eroded ever so faster...
It's up to each of us
to hold faith and set anchor
to the core that has shaped us better...
So we can without hesitation and shame...
celebrate spiritual holidays like CHRISTmas
and this Blessed EASTER ...
For whatever changes life can bring ,
to unwaveringly keep the same...
those things worth cherishing ... worth standing for...
according to their true essence,
without hesitation or regret, evermore ...

My last two karaoke songs were sung by George Michael
Freedom and Freedom 90
When I think of the fourth of July I think of freedom
Free to be who I am without judgement
Free to go outside without fearing for my safety from thugs and cops
Free to see a doctor or a dentist without financial ruin
Free to live in a house
Free to sleep without waking up too early
The songs deal with relationships
The first doesn't want freedom, all he wants is that special lady
The other freedom to have equal give and take in a relationship
Not always have to be the one always giving while the other just takes
When I was a kid it was about the fireworks
I am going to buy some today
I thought the song Afternoon Delight was about fireworks too
But as I have gotten older from 1976 when I was only six
It is about a good relationship
Where you can always look forward to some sky rockets in flight

I bought some egg dye from Dollar Tree
Two worked, the other three didn't
I went to Piggly Wiggly and bought some pink, blue, and green dye
I didn't have any yellow food coloring that worked, but I wanted pink
So I got some pink eggs for a change
I tried wearing a rubber glove and put drops of food coloring on the egg
Then just moving the egg around in my hand
Then wipe off the excess food coloring with paper towels
That worked well
If you have trouble getting the eggs to peel, try this
Get your water boiling (13 minutes)
Put your eggs into the boiling water(13 minutes)
Put eggs in pan under cold running water(2 minutes)
Drain off some of the hot water till some of eggs are showing
Then add ice cubes and let eggs soak(25 minutes)
Dry on paper towels( 15 minutes each side)
Easy to peel eggs!
Happy Easter!

April Fools jokes are fun to pull
I did two songs from the movie Step Brothers with Will Ferrell
Billy Joel's Keeping the Faith, and The Longest Time
Which are sung in the movie by a group called Uptown Girl Claps from my friend and the DJ, and nothing, nada from the audience
I did one at a company meeting a few years ago
The manager said does anyone have any questions
I said, I parked my car illegally, only because the guy in front of me did too
How many times can I do that before something bad happens
She said Three
