    @Renauda said in Songwriting: The melody for Get Back was originally used in a Beatle song called No Pakistanis. That song was a political satire or attack against Enoch Powell and others in the UK who opposed immigration of non white colonials. My son actually found a copy of the tune on the internet that Beatles did as an outtake during, either the White Album or Abbey Road sessions. The chorus section when they sing “Get back, Get back, Get back to where you once belonged” was in the original as it referred to coloured colonials going back to their place of birth. Needless to say it never made it to vinyl in its original form. What a story! I imagine there's tons of tales like that about Beatles' songs.

    Our rating: False Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that Queen Elizabeth II was shot dead in Detroit. The queen had been suffering health issues and died peacefully in Scotland. Her last visit to the U.S. was in 2007, and no news reports indicate she visited Detroit. It's hard to believe that MSN would fact check it.

    @Jolly Nothing bad about having the reputation of being an asshole - although I would think it’s better to be thought of as a son of a bitch. All the same though I reckon it puts you and I and, of course, Horace, all in good company together.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Read 'em and Weep: I’ve heard Jewish folk comment that Christian Protestants taking a literalist approach to the OT are really missing the point, and that it was never intended to be interpreted in that way Son, there are some professing Jews that don't believe in half of it, and I ain't talking about the NT.

    After we rid our schools of all the conservative ideology being foisted on our children by Magat administrators and teachers - then maybe I'll take this alleged "woke indoctrination" seriously.
