  1. What's the difference between "To Win" and "To Collect"? Smart-ass answer: $25,000. But seriously, I'm not a gambler. What do those terms mean?
  2. Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town It won't take long, just watch and see How the fellas lay their money down
  3. If you come down to the river I bet you gonna find some people who live And you don't have to worry if you got no money People on the river are happy to give
  4. I want you I want you so bad I want you I want you so bad It's driving me mad, It's driving me mad
  5. NFL football is still the most popular sport overall, but it looks like the younger generation is more inclined toward basketball. https://www.statista.com/chart/15869/favrotie-sports-league/
  6. The Bills finally hit the trifecta: GM, HC, and QB. Losing interest? Not a chance.
  7. So if you think your life is complete confusion Because your neighbor's got it made Just remember that it's a grand illusion And deep inside we're all the same
  8. Now there you go again, you say you want your freedom Well, who am I to keep you down? It's only right that you should play the way you feel it But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness
  9. There's a difference between anecdotal evidence (e.g., "I've been told") and empirical data. Here are a couple of rigorous peer-reviewed scientific studies - one of them, a forty-year longitudinal study - that account for a multitude of variables: https://www.fastcompany.com/90227665/the-economy-is-booming-your-salary-is-not-blame-the-decline-of-unions https://www.epi.org/publication/right-to-work-states-have-lower-wages/ https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/620699 tl;dr version: Unions benefit workers in both union and non-union shops. Why the latter? Because non-union shops need to compete with union shops for employees, so they offer decent wages and working conditions to attract good employees and/or to discourage their employees from unionizing.
  10. It's the end of the world as we know it And I feel fine
  11. https://ultimateclassicrock.com/pete-townshend-cleared-child-porn-charges/ I believe him. He goes into much more detail about the incident in his autobiography, if you want to know more than a few sound bites. As for whether I "like" him - I don't know him personally. Based on his interviews, I don't think he's someone I'd want to sit and have a few beers with. That doesn't make him a bad person, just not someone I'd be comfortable conversing with. I find his music to be nothing short of brilliant. His lyrics are relatable to me (although I'm not as F'd up as the characters in his songs) and the music ranks right up there with the best classical compositions. I don't believe in reincarnation, but if I did, I'd think he was Beethoven in a previous life.
  12. Readin' that Tulsa telephone book can drive a guy insane Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

  15. I was searching (searching) on a one-way street I was hoping (hoping) for a chance to meet I was waiting for the operator on the line
  16. You can laugh at my behaviour And that'll never bother me Say the devil is my saviour But I don't pay no heed
  17. De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da They're meaningless and all that's true

  20. You talk about your woman I wish you could see mine, You talk about your woman I wish you could see mine, Every time she starts to lovin' She brings eyesight to the blind.
  21. Agreed. It's the same reason that a lot of colleges and universities aren't using SAT scores in their admission process. The test was designed to predict one's probability of success in college, but research has demonstrated that it doesn't do what it was designed to do.
  22. When the night, has come And the land is dark And the moon Is the only, light we'll see No I won't, be afraid No I won't, be afraid Just as long, as you stand, stand by me
