what is ``making it`` 1 hit song then drugs and die young or live in poverty
or
having a wife and family living a good life having grand children later in life.
i think you have ``made it`` plus you have made music,sure maybe no hits but entertained
a lot of people over many years.

i love what you have done to it,i thought i had missed a trick with the wording.
i had,and you`ve put it right.
sometimes rhymes are predictable and you can see them coming, a bit of mystery
never hurt.
thanks

yeah it`s called democracy,the winner takes office.
it`s good that the opposition question and hold to account the govt
but the media also have a part to play,they should report facts not bias opinion.
let alone invent stories.
name calling is a great way of shutting others down.   it`s almost a new art form.

another thoughtful piece Pete.

This is so true.   However in America this is how such a donk of a person like trump was elected.

He played to the white ignorant vote, stirred up racism to a terrible new high and surly will be ranked in the top 5 worst presidents in history.

I’m not real thrilled with Biden, but what were the alternative options?

As you say, why vote?  I voted, but not real happy about what was there.  It was a game of the lessor of two evils.

Wow Beamer name calling people you dont agree with is really unproductive.It assumes there is only one right way and that is yours.
it seems people on the left are best at this but by no means have a monopoly.
(maybe i should have said MINOR party in my statement.)

if they ask me how old she is,i say
``19 mths 2 weeks 3 days 6 hrs and 5 micro seconds``

I know what you mean,probably why i dont bother  much either.
But i have great chats away from chordie,there are a couple chordians that are keen to engage.
So we just do it that way.
