Come Sail Away

It somehow turned into Covid~ZeroFest here at Peak Stupidity this week. There are 2 correction posts to make, the stuff that was supposed to appear this week, plus a new personal one from today on that nature/nurture "blank slate" stupidity. If I can remember (or remember where I wrote notes!), I'll have something about some scenes from old TV I watched on seat-back entertainment.

To sign off for the week, we will feature some real 1970s music. The band Styx has only appeared here once before, and that's shameful.

As per a comment I just wrote under the previous post, with Idiocracy coming on so rapidly, I really want to be able to Come Sail Away in that star ship ASAP.



This song is from Styx's very popular album The Grand Illusion, released 45 years ago.

Thank you all for reading and commenting!

They say it will take seven months to travel 300,000,000 miles (at almost 25,000 miles per hour!) to reach Mars.

Seems so plausible. 🤣

PS We'll sail away with eco friendly lithium powered Zil Trabant Teslas and escape to Mars with its super duper environment.
Yes we can! None are safe until all are safe, comrade.
Mask up for peace and safety. Micro organisms are no match for a thin paper face panty, not even sawdust can get through.
Forward!
Don't look up deplorable kulak untermenschen, we iz goin' to da moon base Wakanda.

PS: "Southern Cross" is one of my favorites, Mr. Smith. One could also go through the Jimmy Buffett repertoire to find some good sailing songs. I am partial to "Son of a Son of a Sailor", the title song from that late-1970s album.

PS: Yep, time does fly, Alarmist, after a while. The only thing with the modern generation and music is they CAN'T go rolling their eyes at us. They'd have to tell us that the Hip-hop "music" and the ululating women with the lame-ass melodies with no good sound behind them are good music. It's hard to lie like that, because we may find out that they are right there on youtube with us pulling up Led Zeppelin IV.

PS

Forty-five years .... damn, I’m getting old. I remember rolling my eyes when my gramps got out his records from the Roaring Twenties, and at that time those weren’t much older than forty-five years.
