More Learning to Crawl - Show Me, by the Pretenders

We're not quite gonna beat this album to death - we'll skip a couple of songs that do fit with the theme but aren't as good tunes as plenty others Peak Stupidity will feature. Still, after Middle of the Road (but also the whole album ripped from vinyl) - - Back on the Chain Gang - - Time the Avenger and Thumbelina, we must feature this one. Show Me (the meaning of the word) was written by Miss Hynde as if to her new-born baby, before any crawling.
Show me the meaning of the word
Show me the meaning of the word
'Cause I've heard so much about it
They say you can't live without it

Welcome to the human race
With its wars, disease and brutality
You with your innocence and grace
Restore some pride and dignity
To a world in decline

Welcome to a special place
In a heart of stone that's cold and grey
You with your angel face
Keep the despair at bay
Send it away, and...




The idea was to get a couple of other posts up today, one on the Clintons and another on acquitted Arizona border rancher George Kelly. I ran out of energy first, then time. We'll get to that, the climate movie, and perhaps pick up some loose ends of stupidity left behind, next week. I've read about half of the Steve Sailer book Noticing. It's very good. (I'll try to keep any book reviews, for that one and another involving immigration stupidity coming, shorter, much shorter...)

Thanks everyone for reading and writing in.

PS: Yeah, he got through his court case, but I don't think the means he's out of jeopardy, let's call it, yet, not the way the unConstitutional system works today. I am going to write about some of that.

I still like the Clash's version of the song best.

PS

The song for the rancher story would be the Dead Kennedys’ version of “I Fought the Law”

🎶
Drinkin' beer in the hot sun
I fought the law and I won
I fought the law and I won
🎶
