Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Cute, Buddy.

Haha Buddy. Some of those hits are a little too close to home. Hairdresser said I do not have a "A Whiter Shade of Hair". Says I am an Arctic blonde.

Wiki says Otis Day and the Knights are a fictional band from Animal House. I thought Otis Day was for real. Iirc, there was an Upstate band in the Sixties called Otis Day and the All Night Workers who had a hit called "Don't Put All Your Eggs In One Basket".

Love The Isley Bros. That is some funky dancing.

Really funny dancing like the The Twist and The Jerk on this video too. Back to the beach!

The Beach Boys - "Don't Worry Baby"

For boomers, The Beach Boys were like the American Beatles and The Bee Gees were like the Australian Beatles. Great harmonies.
