Sipping bourbon and getting real cozy with the tunes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:40am

if it's a blues song about blues or something blue then it's not cheating. like "blue-eyed Maggie blues" -which i just made up but there must be a few songs like that out there.
(of course, these are rules that only apply to me, i realise)

We should start a betting market on what blue songs will or won't get played. Is that legal on the New Jersey internet? Basically I want to make money on my keen intuition that we won't hear Blue Christmas

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46am
Hoboken Jack:

Blue anecdote. When I was about 10 I won a K-Tel type cassette at some kind of synagogue carnival. I listened to it over and over and it contained the countryish pop hit "Bluer Than Blue" by Michael Johnson. Except my young brain saw it as Michael *Jackson* who was hitting it big with Off the Wall at that point. Even though it didn't sound anything remotely like the future Gloved One, for the longest time I was convinced "Bluer Than Blue" was a Michael Jackson song. The End

all the census stuff is kept secret for 72 years.. so if we're alive in 2092, we'll be too old to lockup for anything we put on this Census.

Also means that if you're trying to figure out the date of birth of anybody on the 1950 Census, that data is being released in April 2022.
