I heard this Natalie Maines cover of Mother for the first time yesterday. It’s solid.

Hot take: I don’t get the Mike Pence mother freak-out.

I have heard many a father, of all political persuasions, refer to their wife with a maternal description, especially when their kids are around.

“Go ask Mom what she wants for dinner.” “Did mom say you could bring home a rusty Jeep?” etc.

Thanks! That’s very well done indeed.

The key is, “ when their kids are around.” with out that, only referring to your wife as, “Mother” is bizarre as fuck, yo

It’s weird to slip and use a family descriptor at a public event. It’s not THAT weird. It’s certainly not as weird and biting your wife’s finger on stage.

Also bizarre as shit to not be able to dine alone with a woman .   Religious nutbars.

On that narrow topic... I think it’s brilliant for Pence to say “Women? I never have to fear any scandalous sex allegations because I’m never alone in the same room with one. Ever.”

I read a biographical write-up once by an Indiana reporter. Pence has an absolute master plan for his life and career and his aspirations... He’s right on track for his final promotion ...  Please don’t say you weren’t warned.

Or getting a “handie” reference hand gesture?  See, he really is one of us...

No sex scandal allegation. Ever.

It's an extreme absolutist plan, but it works. See also: celebrities that don't take photos with fans.

Beyond Solid.

“Preferable”.  Wow.  Great work.

She’s got an extraordinary voice. I actually use her voice to explain the sort of sound I want my trumpet students to make.

Ahhh, so you owe her a ROYALTY!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. This is another song I use, an absolutely gut wrenching performance of Autumn Leaves, that gorgeous old chestnut by Johnny Mercer. Aside from the tonal quality of Eva Cassidy’s extraordinary voice, how she changes colors and phrases, listen to how she carries through the phrase at 4:04 (and other times, when she sings through the commas) . The breath breaks nothing; it merely intensifies the phrase . Absolutely breathtaking, and what a damned shame that she died. Fuck cancer.

Well at least his wife likes him and isn’t really a contract written up after an introduction by Ghislaine Maxwell .

Ha! That’s hilarious. Earlier, but reluctant to show my ignorance of music, I was going to use Eva Cassidy as a prime example of this---  the subtle, evocative almost-inflection-shift-in-voice that made her work so powerful. She was an amazing talent, RIP.

Very sad life story, but what an artist.

BTW, her take on Fields of Gold makes Sting’s look like he’s a drunk karaoke singer.

I LOVE covers that take material to places that the original artist never even thought about.

Fight me, but this still sends shivers up my back.

That whole album is.....well, I’ve run out of superlative adjectives. She sings the shit out of Over the Rainbow. But Autumn Leaves makes me absolutely stop whatever I’m doing and listen, and sends chills down my spine.

I’ve even used this song. Listen to how she holds out the long notes straight, but then gradually adds vibrato. So powerful. It’s all about tone color and projection, not volume. What (some) trumpet players call putting the “burn” into the sound.

If you can teach disinterested school-age kids to do that?  Clearly a molder of young minds... my hat’s tipped in your direction.

Well, I try. Some get it, some don’t.

Logical strategy. But I have to think, he’s just such a bland boring definitely not charismatic figure, who’d want to have that affair anyway? Of course, I might not be in the demographic who has affairs with politicos.

This way you don’t need a “fixer” or hush money, either.

It’s funny... it does reinforce that “money and power” are the ultimate turn-on, no?

After all, even Wilbur Mills had no trouble finding horizontal recreation of the female persuasion in the Potomac Basin...

Good point,  that gets some people going.  And our brave leaders, of such strong mental and moral competency, seem even less able to resist it than the average prole.
