Man, I wish you would. Of all the early Rock'n'Roll guys, Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly were my favorites. Please wright this for BCN, but don't clean it up too much ... keep it kind of raw.

You sure did Bobby Tony. And we have many pending posts in the queue to continue that proof.

I just got Ted's post this morning and had it up about an hour later. Variety is the spice of ... something ...

At some point you question: When is the scam discovered? When do the folks rise up and say enough to this ruse.

Roy Cooper is a Liberal politician; that is pretty much all he is.

He is not a particularly good lawyer; he is definitely no constitutional scholar, and as we discovered in his one debate with Governor McCrory moderated by NBC's Chuck Todd, we discovered that he is not a particularly good debater, exhibiting, after decades as a Democrat political insider here in North Carolina, he possesses an egregiously poor grasp of the issues affecting he North Carolinians that actually sustain this state.

With the devastation of Hurricane Matthew all about eastern North Carolina, Roy Cooper begs for a 1.6 billion dollar legislature surplus to fund more liberal spending programs to better help the "disadvantage", which is a Liberal's code for more money to buy Democrat votes.

When he wasn't cajoling for the public's treasure to purchase more Democrat votes, he discussed HB 2 as if he actually knew anything about the bill, or how it actually came into existence.

That pathetic politician lives in one overwhelmingly surreal world.

Remember this truth: Before the Republicans in Raleigh built up that 1.6 billion dollar "Rainy Day" fund, the Democrats had wastefully spent North Carolina into a 3 billion dollar deficit.

God Bless you B.T., and all your fellow 'brothers in arms'. I will never be able to wish that enough in my prayer to our Lord and Savior

I am so happy that they may not have to leave now.

Now, we have influential to blame when all turns into a rather fine mess. After 8 years of Hussein, we are getting very close.

On the intelligence of military personal, I have heard Liberals ardently advocate that the military, as far as training goes, serves as a catch basin for those who are not bright enough, or wealthy enough to subscribe to post high school education.

I won't even waste my time to shoot down this flawed logic, on every level of its condescending nativity, except to offer, most Liberals do not understand the nature of patriotism.

That it is why mostly Liberals, who are educated, and, or do the educating, may suffer the 10% loss of real intellect, in real terms, between them and those comparable patriots, who have the same range of original intellect.

On actors, creators of content, I ignore their personal foibles just as long ss I can stand it, and I am a fairly accepting individual, but not totally blind here.

I may have showed up. My father, who served in the Pacific Theater, and saw action at Saipan and Okinawa, said I would have ... repeatedly, which is a far cry from what Mel Gibson's father said and did - moved the who family from New York state to Austrailia. Mel is a bit over a year younger than me, but no one knew how long that crazy war was going to last.

Speaking of which, I consider "We Were Soldiers" a classic War Film. They may deride Mel Gibson for talking out of his head when he was drunk, but he makes a fine movie, and really grew into an outstanding actor. If I was Lt. Colonel Hal Moore, I would have been honored to have Mel Gibson portray me the he did the future general.

Right now, the men and women that serve don't even seem that they have anything in common with their Millennial Generation.

I will make this estimate, and estimating is something that I have a knack for, so hear me out: If you took the aggregate of any intelligent quotient range of U.S. children straight out of high school, within a 10 point range, where an arbitrary half would qualify for college, and the other half would enlist into the military, and then check on each aggregate subset 6 years later; in aggregate, regardless of how well they performed, the subset that enlisted would have an IQ range of 10 points higher than their subset counterparts in that original 10 point range that attended college. Think about it.

They may not only be our bravest, I will will wager, in a comparative sense, they are out brightest, with yet another character feature - integrity.

You know, he may not be a good vocalist, but he is a fabulous song writer.

The Folkies got all pissed when he went electric, "Blonde on Blonde" was one of the early electric albums, but Dylan had to transition.

He actually became a much better guitar player after he went electric.

"All Along the Watchtower" is among his best work, and it is no folk song.

People can talk about his voice, but he is a smart guy, a fine artist. One of my all time favorites.

The best version of "All Along the Watchtower" may be this one by Jimi Hendrix: beaufortcountynow.com

Check these chords out B.T.: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com

This is the Bob Dylan Version and definitely doable.

Beautiful analogy. The point of the matter is that there are no fair fights if you are a Republican. The Democrat media is always there to work for the other guy.

The better you are at what you do, for more they lay in wait.

The power just came on here in eastern Beaufort County, so I missed the debate last night; however, it sounds like, from some of the soundbites I am hearing, that Trump took it to the Felon, Lying Hillary Clinton.

I hear it was a much better performance than his last miserable performance.
But, will it eclipse Trump's hot mic. moment when he misspoke terribly about his crude understanding of how one should treat "beautiful women"?

I hope so, because I, as a not so handsome "Deplorable" man, know how Lying Hillary feels about me.

I do, however, possess the one thing that L. Hillary could never claim, I am an honest man, and well proved to be so ... even though I am a "Deplorable" and an "Irredeemable".

Bring it out of the discard B.T. It is very topical now, with the Trump tape running on the Clinton News Network (CNN).

Thank God Trump has Mike Pence on the ticket.

In this piece, the truth is funnier than fiction.

Why is that stupidity, especially highly educated stupidity will always be funny?

Outstanding job here ... Smartfella

The media is pretty screwed right now, but Bernstein and Woodward are not journalist saints either. Bernstein and Woodward mostly got lucky with Watergate.

I dig the the term. It is just a word of many meanings

I now have a new term that I dig just as much, which has meaning, and Lord knows, there muddle-brained Liberals who would label me as such - a "Deplorable".
