  Bill Arnold @ 1349: Yeah, noticed that but was allowed by my vpn-endpoint-of-the-day. A google search finds plenty that work in the US, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaoregV1Wak I noticed last night that "Hotel California" Brexit dates back to July 2018 in the UK press, probably earlier. I can't read May's face so don't know if she had heard this. Away from link collection, but e.g. A Hotel California Brexit? (clunky video is ok) The "Hotel California Brexit" bit is cool. I have plenty of other YouTube links to various versions of Hotel California, but the one I'm missing now is the one...

  My sympathies, I swear rapid deaths from sicknesses like that are worse than car accidents or heart attacks because it feels like there should have been some way to intervene.

  On a also somewhat tangential note, I have taken to compile a playlist of music I remember for a variety of reasons or encountered recently for use at work. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLns7jxlzZ5_kwLylXRaQqkWJw8ebxSjcf There is some overlap with songs in OGH's work, but then, what got me hooked on "Halting State" was the "Your mom wears army boots" line alluding to NMA. Yes, they are in there, though not "51st State", the song played at the parties I frequented in my late teens. No warranty for bad taste, and new suggestions welcome....
