The Carpenters - Close to you

Karen Carpenter died 40 years an a week ago today. I missed the even anniversary. I couldn't have told you what year it was, but then I do remember where I was when I heard about her dying. (No, it's not like the flags went to half-mast or anything.) Additionally, the one who told me was the guy who was fired from the campus radio stating for playing The Carpenters, as related in this post. I say apologetically that Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft is the only song by this brother/sister duo (Karen and Richard) Peak Stupidity has posted so far.

Here is a live version of Close to You from over half a century ago. I'm pretty sure it was on that song that I first heard Karen Carpenter's sweet voice.



The week went from Weather --> Weather Balloon --> Balloon week to Inflation and Ron DeSantis week. Let's see... what's next? There'll be more immigration stupidity for sure, a few more "look at THIS crazy shit!" posts from some articles I've read, one taken directly from info in a Steve Sailer post (I don't do so much of that as I did 4-5 years back) and then more than enough stupidity just pops up here and there. Have a restful Sunday, Peakers. Thanks so much for reading and writing in!

PS: "Compromise" has meant "give in" for the Commies for many years now, Not Sure. Right you are.

103: "The Kind of Black lounge tribute is awesome though." I don't know much Black Sabbath, but that sounds fun anyway.

PS @ Mod,

Probably the best track on there.
At least there aren't tons of Carpenters tributes unlike Black Sabbath with mixed quality.
The Kind of Black lounge tribute is awesome though.

PS Have you heard about the Sun breaking off a chunk and forming a vortex?
The time of peak PSYOP is about to go bat guano!
Remain calm and never compromise with control freak commies or their Long March to the global soviet rule by unelected council.

PS: At the end: "At publishing time, the tube man had been discovered after a catastrophic malfunction due to being made cheaply in China." Haha.
