16. The Magas propose an IQ test for voting.
You must have an IQ under 100 to be allowed to vote.

The people who voted for Trump would all be allowed to vote!

I think my ballads list is one of my greatest.
I did not rank them but Love Has No Pride could really be number 1. I would have loved to have had Sinatra sing that at any age.

If you want to hear Sinatra pull every emotional corpuscle out of a contemporary

I had never heard the song. I listened to it.
Excellent choice!! I wanted to commit suicide.
When I do the list I will put it on it.

There is another great song with same title written by Dave Alvin of The Blasters and also recorded by X.
Listen to the X version and I GUARANTEE that you will like it a lot knowing the kind of music that you like.

you should listen to the first few albums by Pete Droge. Excellent stuff! Not as fond of his later stuff.

I’ll pay attention to it.
let me know about 4th of July by X.

pretty damn good. Tomorrow I want to listen to the Blasters version. Not always, but usually the original is better than the cover.
Might be a good idea for a list....covers that are better than the original!

It is a very very good idea for a list.
Ill list original version and cover. A list where the cover betters the original or first version as in Bonnie Raitt version of love has no pride betters first version by Linda Rondstadt or ELO cover of Roll Over Beethoven better then Chuck Berry original.
