With a ‘SPM’ (brand new acronym – for ‘Special Military Operation’) for 8 months, now, threatening to morph into WW3…
I’m getting ‘flashbacks’ of the tune a NEW WAVE British band came out around 1979 & into 80’s with”
THE CLASH
There was a lot of protests concerning deployment of Pershing 2 and land based cruise missiles in Europe, at the time…
Thus lyrics like these, in the song…
“Maybe I want to see the wheatfields
Over Kiev and down to the sea”
Ironic, isn’t it? Here we all are, pushing 2023…and the ‘wheatfields’ in Kiev (Kyiv) along with the ‘sea’ (as in ‘Black Sea’) and ‘control’ over these areas, are being fought over.
Further on in the song, a memory from ‘Dr. Zhivago’, the 1965 flick, crossed my mind (sort of like the ‘crosses’ replacing ‘Z’ on captured Russian tanks, lately…
“All the young people, down the ages
They gladly marched off to die
Proud city father(s) used to watch them
Tears in their eyes”
Here’s the clip from Dr. Z, cited:
Now, I don’t know about you…but this movie clip has a ‘Déjà vu’ aroma, to it…concerning NOW….OUR TIMES.
“It’s déjà vu…all over again!!”
As the great YOGI mused:
Not the Yoda…mind you, he’s YOGI…as in “Berra”
Him, ya see
Well, the Mets went down to defeat last night, and the Padres will now face down those Dodgers, that lost to YOGI…and then moved outta town, to set up shop on the West Coast…
And, G.P. is gonna wrap up this short briefing, on these notes…
And touch on more ‘malapropisms’ of the YOGI along with comments on Dr. Z…in an upcoming issue.
Stay tuned,
G.P. signing off for now.
