By ANYONE'S standards...from good deep red MAGA people such as Bob-With-2-Bs (MUCH more from him later I hope) all the way to brokenhearted Bernie Sanders progressives making their way in the world today such as yours truly...
...this is a HIGHLY UNUSUAL and well, dare I say it...WEIRD way to pick your cabinet. Unless of course you subscribe to one of my favorite Taking Heads tunes: Burning Down The House. (Thank you SO VERY MUCH David Byrne)
One thing I am learning...Y'all BETTAH retain your collective sense of humor, cuz as my friends and I like to say in Mississippi... "Shit's fixin' ta git REAL Y'all."
Therefore, prepare to LAUGH, and remember to LOVE whenever possible.
It is ALWAYS possible. (BTW, that is my own wee one-word-change paraphrase of the "Kindness Quote" made famous by the great Dalai Lama)
HEY FOLKS!
It's Breakfast With Stevie, 11/20/2024..
BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE
Composed by David Byrne
Video Directed by David Byrne
Performed by Talking Heads
1983
(And INCREDIBLY...very valid and timely in 2024)
Ah, watch out
You might get what you're after
Cool babies
Strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight
Wait 'til the party's over
Hold tight
We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here's your ticket, pack your bags
Time for jumpin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire
Ah, all wet
Hey, you might need a raincoat
Shakedown
Dreams walking in broad daylight
365 degrees
Burning down the house
Ah, it was once upon a place
Sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work
And, baby what do you expect?
Gonna burst into flames, ah
Burning down the house
My house
Is out of the ordinary
That's right
Don't wannna hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support
And you have not seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
And I don't know what you expect
Staring into the TV set
Fightin' fire with fire, ah
