The NFL players have resumed training as of this morning, and yes, there will be a Pro Football season this year. I am a football addict, so this is great news, but moreover, I am happy that someone was able to NEGOTIATE a COMPROMISE solution to a problem. Remember? That is how America USED to work. Sure wish we could make it work again. We have fences to mend and no side has all the answers. We are a better country for our points of view, for our ability to reach consensus. That is what the founding fathers intended with the different branches of government, the parties, the concept of advise and consent. We are supposed to deliberate. We are supposed to be grown up. It is not-my way or the highway.
Nor is it “These Boots Are Made For Walking.” Though I did find an incredibly tasty version of that classic from David Olney. Shhh, I actually like his version better. The video is complete with the obligatory go-go dancers, and what with a come-hither Olney, it is a delectable treat. It has been 45 years since the original song and video to support it was put out by Nancy Sinatra. And it coincides, though isn’t included in, the release of the new 5 song EP from David Olney album Film Noir, which hit the street in May. David Olney is pure scowling magic here.” Are ya ready boots…?”
