His politics aside, I have a love of JT'd music that goes back to the beginning,, so this was a big surprise.

Taylor has a long history of being a true old hippy peacenik. He is quoted as saying Barry was the greatest POTUS ever,, but is he a friend of Joe?

Did anyone catch the Easter Egg??

Do you know the history of Fire and Ice?

JT wrote it in 1968 and it has three verses.

1) is about a friend who committed suicide,
2) is about Taylor's addiction to heroin,
3) refers to a mental hospital.

Now,, Tell me he didn't send a message to the world. While Joe was mumbling about his great accomplishments, I THINK TJ was throwing shade on POTUS??

LMAO :D

What is Easter Egg?

Easter Egg (media) is a term used to describe a message, image or feature hidden in a video game, film, or other that's usually an electronic medium. It's those little sneaky hidden messages in your favorite film that you love to spot and makes you go “ahhhh, clever!”.

Throwing Shade? or just shade.

Shade is a subtle, sneering expression of contempt for or disgust with someone, sometimes verbal, and sometimes not.

A septuagenarian singing a song about mental health and drug addiction to celebrate a septuagenarian's signing of legislation that celebrates the inflation corruption act?

How is that an easter egg?

No disrespect intended, but it sounds like a rotten egg if you ask me...

No disrespect intended...

My hat is off to you Sir. You are a bigger man than I; more often than not, my disrespect is very much intended.

I'd almost say 'contempt' but I hear the democrats like to punish people for showing contempt.





Sing it with me...
Just yesterday mornin', I took a hit from my bong
Freedom, the dem o’ crats have put an end to you
I toked up this morning then I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

Oh, I like dope and climate change
I hype climate change and I hope it never ends
Those conser-va-tives, they will ne-ver be my friend
Boy I really like to hype that climate change.

Fire and Rain?

Yeah...politics aside JT has been a favorite of mine for decades. One of best of his shows I saw was at a college, seats on 5th row. Just him, his guitar and a reel-to-reel for backing instruments.
