Saturday Night Protest Party!

This is how I am feeling right now.

Dance like no one's watching.

Sing like no one's listening.

"King of Wishful Thinking" - I wish this fucking Donald Dump nightmare were over RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
"Keep believing. Keep marching. Keep building. Keep raising your voice. Every generation has the opportunity to remake the world.” - Barack Obama, July 2018

PS - HAPPY BIRTHDAY (May 17 and May 18, respectively) to Sassybear and Cubby!

    Hardly recall this track at all, but it's okay really. (Got to our #18 in '90).

    Although our Prime Minister has promised to go in just over two weeks after her fourth attempt to get her Brexit bill through Parliament, whether or not she succeeds (and she won't). It seems that politicians are allowed to change their minds to vote for it but we the people aren't being allowed to have the same chance to give it the finger! However, with any luck she'll be given the boot even before then, and before the Royal visit of your own illustrious Head-of State. My own wishful thinking is to see the back of both of them a.s.a.p. - or sooner.

    Have a luverly w/e, W.Q., and the same goes to RTG and the li'l uns - from all five of us here!

      Apart from our incongruously hot Easter weekend, since then we've not had a proper start to Summer - and it''ll be MIDsummer's Day in little over a month from now. Further evidence that the world has gone mad, mad, MAD - and only those who are already mad don't notice it - like, as a totally random example, that White House resident President..... you know, the Orange Stable Genius? THAT's the one I mean!

      A number of our leading Brexiteers are also climate change deniers/liars, Just what is it with these right-wingers? - the more extremist-racist they are the more loopy you find them to be! Cripes!

      I have no problem with Fran Leibowitz's suggestion. Then we can get on with being a normal country again hopefully.

    Love this song! I prefer to listen to it without the visuals. Every non rhythmic atom in my body is bouncing in place. Howzat for a visual? Enjoy the weekend, Carebear and remember bad behavior is still behaving. Neener, neener, Steven!

    Me too!!!! It's is rather embarrassing he, week after week after week keeps getting more and more ridiculous. I have no hope for all in office polictians anymore. They all stand by afraid to make a move. We need all new ones. This is where we need a fire breathing dragon to torch the whole lot.

    But I'm having a lovely weekend otherwise tootes!

    I love this song! It's on the Pretty Woman soundtrack, in case anyone wants to know. It's been awhile since I've seen the movie, but it might be the music during the opening credits.

    Have a lovely weekend!

    I actually have that album... somewhere. The video would have been so much better if the lead singer had taken his seizure medicine and just sang.

    And dear, everyone of us is way, way, way over the DTS moment.
