We seen the last of Good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King John

I just watched this guy for the first time last night - video on New Madrid earthquake of early 1800s. Very interesting. Looking forward to watching other vids by him.
It was just the beginning of the end. 1202 was a red-letter date in the history of everything!

But HEBREW IS READ RIGHT TO LEFT........So 1202 would be 2021, The year of Biden’s first stolen presidency!............
Well, everybody knows you have to BUY VOWELS!......

Yea, but they are still voting and reliably voting Democrat!
My favorite cruising album... Can’t Buy a Thrill.
Yeah, and before that everyone was posting about how in Y1K everyone’s abacus was going to stop working and the men in Black Chariots were going to take us all to resettlement communes.
Yeah, man. That was crazy!

“The survivor’s have likely passed away by now. Just saying!”
True. Keith Richards is the only known survivor.
Ah yes. The English language moved its vowels. It took a shift.
