Don McLean has definitely substituted the chorus from The Saga Begins when he's doing live shows

You can't just extend the path with a sharpie! Who do you think you are, the president?

We could avoid this entirely, but the idiot Congress LIKES it. I don't think any other country has a debt ceiling like the US. Why? Well, because when another country's government (legislature, dictator, voodoo shaman) authorizes spending on something, they also authorize paying for it.

But in the US, Congress says (to the executive branch) you can only collect 50 bajillion in taxes, no more, no less. Also, you have to spend 55 bajillion on these programs, no more, no less. Then the president says, "uh, okay, but I'll need to borrow 5 bajillion to do that because of math." In reply, Congress stamps its collective foot like a toddler and says "NO NO NO YOU HAVE TO ASK US FIRST! Why are you drowning this poor country in debt you spendthrift!"

I've found that as an Older Millennial, I actually relate to Gen Z quite a bit and get along with them well. It's Gen Alpha that I never have any idea what the hell they're talking about.

L8er sk8ers!

I don't think this is the original album cover. I remember that Weird Al was on the CD I had.

My 18-year-old has a couple of health issues, and I'm just dreading the day it starts to get worse. Sending love for you and Bear!

The song that the sailors sang in the original B&W is stuck in my head to this day. "Ohhhh, we've got this notion that we'd quite like to sail the ocean..."
