… sorry to be so out of it, firing on two, sometimes three cylinders, but am watching Stevedrops to click through … needed a break this evening from politics. Assembled some songs and notes from a far less complicated era before it turned too tacky, too nasty … saw I had four … keeping the 1957 version of Louie Louie for now, just running the dancing songs:
Timeframe’s tricky … first was released in 1960 but some of the footage is older:
The second was released in 1965 but the video is from 1966:
The third was released in 1965 but the video?
Wiki:
Later it became the official rock song of the State of Ohio and Ohio State University. In April 1985, Joe Dirck, columnist for the Columbus Citizen-Journal, saw a wire service story about a proposal to designate “Louie, Louie” as the official State song of Washington, and he subsequently wrote a series of tongue-in-cheek columns. He even registered as a lobbyist for the resolution. Dirck played bass guitar in rock bands and knew the McCoys, particularly Rick Derringer.
He said it was a good fit because the McCoys were from the Dayton area, and Ohio State marching band had adopted it as an unofficial anthem. Both the public and its elected officials—most importantly, the 116th Ohio General Assembly became aware their State lacked an official song as a result of the exposure from his commentary. They designated “Hang On Sloopy” as the state rock song by House Concurrent Resolution 16 on November 20, 1985, with clauses including:[25]
WHEREAS, “Hang On Sloopy” is of particular relevance to members of the baby boom generation, who were once dismissed as a bunch of long-haired, crazy kids, but who now are old enough and vote in sufficient numbers to be taken quite seriously…
and
WHEREAS, Adoption of this resolution will not take too long, cost the State anything, or affect the quality of life in this State to any appreciable degree, and if we in the legislature just go ahead and pass the darn thing, we can get on with more important stuff
Professional sports
“Hang On Sloopy” is also a signature song for Major League Baseball‘s Cleveland Guardians, who play at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, typically played during the middle of the 8th inning.[26] The song also plays at the end of the 3rd quarter at FirstEnergy Stadium during every Cleveland Browns game, and is also played at Cleveland Cavaliers games at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. During games it is common for fans to yell “O-H-I-O!” following the chorus.[27]
Lisa Leonard Dalton has her own channel on youtube and two interviews about it.
15. Here’s the go, chaps and chapesses
Relapsed to “not a well cat” again … massive sneezes and snoozes (just came out of one of the latter) … but have managed to read Steve, Juan, IYE, following the links. This by IYE bears thinking about:
”The first thing to do now with any of these “fear” attacks is to check out the alleged perps name. If it looks like a p1$$ take then it probably is.”
Plenty across the pond but my delight is that it’s hit the fan on the rape gangs over here, courtesy of some Americans … now this is promising. All sorts of historical miscreants under the hammer, it’s all they’re writing on X … Gab still to catch up with its US navel gazing.
I’ve thought for some years (and no doubt many of you have mentioned it too) that within one country, nowt much can be forced but:
- if it comes from o/s
- consistently enough
- and the ladies get themselves organised across the west
… then dam walls can fall … it did happen in Northern Ireland, sparked by the women’s peace train. I’m watching and big names in the Brit firmament are now coming out over it. Good. It’s something at least.

… to atrocity:
13. Steve
“Sources also confirming Livelsberger served at the same military base as the terrorist responsible for the attack in New Orleans and authorities are investigating a possible connection between the two men.”
12. Much at 927 and HQ comments
… on the major issues today we were looking at … drops from Steve, IYE, Juan. So … what have we actually got. Theatre, assets sent out, trying to induce mayhem on western streets and so on.
The point which keeps running through my mind is … why must it be either-or, zero sum culpability? Those implacable against the Jews allow of no parallel deathcult event … ditto the other way around … I think it’s quite possible it’s a combination of deep state, Nethanmayhem, deathcult doing their usual thang, Indians, Chinese, whoever. Why not? Why not throw the Russians in there too? It’s the old …
