“Back in the U.S.S.R” by the Beatles (1968) is today’s theme music. I thought it was appropriate to give a nod to a nation that no longer exists, one who built walls to keep their nation safe while building up a huge military and cutting their social safety nets and education, a nation whose primary concern became driven by the ruling party, who did everything they could to remain in power, control and intimidate their citizens.
It’s a pretty good song.

OMG! I remember the duet with Billy Joel and Elton John singing this spectacular song! Two great piano legends, I mean what a great pair! Love this!

I saw that on television once, and it was fantastic. Can’t find a good recording of it. Thanks for reminding me of that performance.

It seems we might have the same taste in music. You haven’t posted anything yet I haven’t liked, remembered or had forgotten about then reminisced due to your post. 😉

That’s cool. Thank you. Today’s post is going to take a mildly different turn, though.
