Garrison Keillor: What's going on on the twelfth floor
I come from people who anticipate the worst so this quarantine is right up my alley. My mother, every Sunday morning as we left for church, imagined she had left the iron on and that our house would go up in flames. I always assumed I would die young until I got too old to die young but I still have a lingering fear of putting my tongue on a clothespole in January and being frozen to it and firemen will come and yank me loose and I'll speak with a lisp for years thereafter. I expect to step off a curb on Columbus Avenue and be run down by a deliveryman on a bike and die with a carton of shrimp in garlic sauce on my chest.

David Fidler: Trump's Decision to Suspend WHO Funding Has No Legitimate Basis and Will Backfire Horribly (Slate)
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced that he had ordered his administration to halt U.S. funding for the World Health Organization (WHO) pending a review of the organization's actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The president's order threatens to damage WHO's ability to contribute to life-saving national and international efforts needed to counter one of the worst pandemics to hit the world in a century. The consequences of this action are so potentially severe that the grounds for taking this path should be proven malfeasance on the part of WHO so egregious that cutting off funds is the only just and effective remedy. The justifications provided by the president come nowhere close to meeting this standard.

Throwback Thursday Trivia Question from Yesterday


What pop song originated as the jingle for a groundbreaking 1971 television commercial, set on a hilltop, in perfect harmony?


       I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)                                                      Source


"I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" is a pop song that originated as the jingle "Buy the World a Coke" in the groundbreaking 1971 "Hilltop" television commercial for Coca-Cola and sung by The Hillside Singers. "Buy the World a Coke" was produced by Billy Davis and portrayed a positive message of hope and love, featuring a multicultural collection of teenagers on top of a hill appearing to sing the song.

The popularity of the jingle led to it being re-recorded in two versions; one by The New Seekers and another by The Hillside Singers, as a full-length song, dropping references to Coca-Cola. The song became a hit record in the US and the UK.

The idea originally came to Bill Backer, an advertising executive working for McCann Erickson, the agency responsible for Coca-Cola. Backer, Roger Cook and Billy Davis were delayed at Shannon Airport in Ireland. After a forced layover with many hot tempers, they noticed their fellow travelers the next morning were talking and joking while drinking Coca-Cola. Backer wrote the line "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" on a napkin and shared it with British hit songwriters Cook and Roger Greenaway.        Source

Coca Cola Commercial - I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony) - 1971







Mark. was first, and correct, with:
   "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)"



Randall wrote:

  . . . in perfect harmony





mj said:
   It started with a single voice
  Announcing "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing". And then a throng joined in to sell Coke.

Kevin K. in Washington, DC, replied:
   "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)



Dave said:
   I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (in Perfect Harmony). Just about the time I got sick of hearing the infernal Coca-Cola jingle, I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke, the pop song by the studio players that recorded the jingle for the TV commercial (styled The Hillside Singers) hit the airwaves and plagued Top 40 radio. Later an actual band The New Seekers, who had recorded the radio jingle that preceded the TV ad, released their own version and that version got a lot of radio play. The New Seekers version charted higher, #1 in the UK and #7 on the Billboard chart and earned the band a gold record.
  Photo: The New Seekers were formed by a member of the disbanded Aussie folk/pop group The Seekers. The New Seekers were not nearly as successful though. The expanded Coke jingle was their biggest hit.





Cal in Vermont wrote:
   I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing by the New Seekers. It was part of a Coca-Cola ad campaign. The National Lampoon did a send-up that went "I'd like to teach the world to sing and other fancy stuff and pull it's pants down to it's knees and chase it through the rough..." or something like that. It was a long time ago, almost 50 years...

Jon L replied:

zorch said:
   A better version begins, "I'd like to give the world a hug, and tell it jokes and stuff"



Roy, still hunkered down, still a Libtard, in Tyler, TX wrote:
   I do believe that Coke's ad with the song, "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" resulted in that peaceful, delightful song, "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (in Perfect Harmony).





John I from Hawai`i says,
   "I want to teach the world to sing"



Barbara, of Peppy Tech fame answered:
   The song is "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" and the TV commercial was for Coca-Cola. Viewing it from today's perspective, it looks kind of creepy to me, as if the people were a bit robotic, like the women in "The Stepford Wives." Or is that just me? We are living in different times!



Deborah responded:
   I can hum the tune and know a few of the lyrics…something about wanting to buy a Coke and the world in perfect harmony… I think it was called "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" and it was catchy. Fuzzy on details, though.
  Lovely weather yesterday and today, just right for planting Shishito peppers and a long bike ride.

  I love the way it was used in the Mad Men season finale




DJ Useo replied:
   Ow, my brain hurts now, but I have the answer. I think it was 'The New Seekers - I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing'.
  It sure was a good sentiment, eh?

best '68 album



I've been listening to 1968 Psychedelic Rock albums to determine which is the best one.


I came to the conclusion that the best is 'The Jimi Hendrix Experiences' Electric Ladyland'.


I'd love to hear what y'alls picks are.


The runner-up albums I checked out were all great.


Stuff Like Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention's We're Only in It for the Money", & "The Beatles' White Album", plus many lesser known acts.


I invite you to send in your choices.



Be well

- DJ Konrad Useo.


Thanks, Konrad!

Anecdotes


Work

• Gregor Piatigorsky, a virtuoso cellist, once asked conductor Pierre Monteux for permission to conduct "The Star-Bangled Banner," which Maestro Monteux granted. After "The Star-Spangled Banner" had been played, Maestro Monteux asked Mr. Piatigorsky how the conducting had gone. "It was easy," Mr. Piatigorsky said. Maestro Monteux replied, "Don't tell anybody."


• When the Archduke Rudolph was appointed Archbishop of Olmütz, Ludwig van Beethoven wanted to write some music for the celebration. He started to write his Mass in D, but he became so involved in the music, and the music grew so great in conception, that the celebration had been over for two years by the time Beethoven completed the work.


• Blind Lemon Jefferson, a blues singer and guitarist, was born blind. As a young man, he moved to Dallas, Texas, where he found it difficult to get work. However, because he was a big, strong man who weighed 250 pounds, he was able to get a job as a wrestler. Crowds of people were willing to pay to see him because a blind wrestler was unusual.


• Sometimes, people don't realize how difficult making music can be. After hearing that Bill Worland was a professional musician, a woman told him, "Sitting playing the piano for three or hours, I don't call that hard work - it's easy." Mr. Worland replied, "Yes, it's easy. It only takes a lifetime to learn how to do it, and do it well."


• On June 20, 1994, Aretha Franklin gave a memorable performance at the White House Rose Garden for then-President Bill Clinton and other guests. In fact, while singing "Brand New Me," she performed so hard that while crossing the stage she lost a shoe.


• When George Gershwin was told that the woman he loved had married another man, he said, "I'd feel terrible about this if I weren't so busy."

Couch Gag

'The Simpsons'

The Simpsons will feature an elaborate couch gag on Sunday's new episode.

It what appears to be a nod to the national quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic, the long-running segment in the Fox cartoon's opener will show the family doing extreme sports. However, the animation style for "The Extremesons" is far more detailed than usual.

From Homer wingsuiting onto a jet to Bart being dropped out of a helicopter for snowboarding and a surfing Marge, the gag showcases fun and stylish action.

Of course, it all turns out to be virtual reality; the family is just sitting on the couch as the VR becomes too much for Homer, who quickly goes back to watching TV.

Creates New Work

Banksy

Banksy has revealed his latest work in lockdown - a series of rats causing mayhem in his bathroom.

The elusive artist posted a set of five images on Instagram on Wednesday night, with the caption: "My wife hates it when I work from home".

His images show rats - which have featured in many of his previous artworks - knocking the bathroom mirror to one side, hanging on the light pull, swinging on a towel ring and stepping on a tube of toothpaste.

One rat is seen skipping on a roll of toilet paper, which has rolled down and across the floor.

Another appears to be urinating against the toilet seat, while one is reflected in the mirror apparently tallying up the days in lockdown in red lipstick.

Hollywood Anti-Harassment Commission

Anita Hill

The Anita Hill-led Hollywood Commission says that the problem of sexual harassment, abuse and bias in the entertainment industry hasn't gone away away just because of the COVID-19 shutdown. In fact, it says the pandemic may "further stack the deck" against the industry's most vulnerable.

"The Hollywood Commission was established to create an equitable future by defining and implementing best practices that eliminate sexual harassment and bias for all workers, especially marginalized communities," the commission said Thursday in a statement on the pandemic. "Unfortunately, pandemics can further stack the deck against those populations most vulnerable in our economy. As new models of work emerge, there is likely to be a lasting impact on workplace issues in entertainment and beyond.

"The Hollywood Commission will continue to identify and support the appropriate systems to ensure equity and eliminate harassment and discrimination wherever and whenever it occurs in the entertainment industry. When we protect the safety and well-being of our fellow workers, we all benefit. This value is central to the Hollywood Commission's mission and has never been more relevant."

Founded in the wake of the 2017 Harvey Weinstein scandal, the commission - formerly known as the Hollywood Commission on Eliminating Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality - launched a survey of sexual harassment, abuse and discrimination in the industry last November. The survey ended on February 24, but the commission has yet to release the results of its findings.

Honors His Late Grandmother

Michael Che

Saturday Night Live Weekend Update co-host Michael Che is honoring the memory of his grandmother by paying the rend for 160 residents of her New York City public housing complex.

Che's grandmother, Martha, died recently of coronavirus complications.

"It's crazy to me that residents of public housing are still expected to pay their rent when so many New Yorkers can't even work," Che wrote on Instagram Wednesday. "Obviously I can't offer much help by myself. But in the spirit and memory of my late grandmother, I'm paying one month's rent for all 160 apartments in the New York Housing Dept. building she lived in.

"I know that's just a drop in the bucket, so I really hope the city has a better plan for debt forgiveness for all the people in public housing, at the very least."

Che did not provide a figure for his donation total, but the New York City Housing Authority said as of 2018 that the average rent was $522 per month, the exact total depending on a tenant's income and size of their apartment.

Our Kids Are Expendable

Reopening Schools

Dr. Oz thinks it's about time we reconsider how much good social distancing is actually doing.

Mehmet Oz, the talk show host known for his sometimes sub-par medical advice, made a Fox News appearance on Wednesday night to tell host Sean Hannity "we might be able to open" schools again "without getting into a lot of trouble." He then cited a study from medical journal The Lancet, saying "the opening of schools may only cost us 2 to 3 percent in terms of total mortality." "Any life is a life lost," Oz continued, but getting kids back in schools where they're "safe" and "fed ... might be a tradeoff some folks would consider."

Oz made a similar argument on Thursday to Fox & Friends, saying it "really bothered" him that Boston University had already canceled its fall semester.

The study in The Lancet maintains that "Recent modeling studies of COVID-19 predict that school closures alone would prevent only two to four percent of deaths, much less than other social distancing interventions." It does not explicitly argue for reopening schools immediately, though, and instead maintains "combinations of social distancing measures should be considered."

Ice Loss

Greenland

The kilometres-thick icesheet that covers Greenland saw a near-record imbalance last year between new snowfall and the discharge of meltwater and ice into the ocean, scientists have reported.

A net loss of 600 billion tonnes was enough to raise the global watermark 1.5 millimetres, about 40 percent of total sea level rise in 2019.

The Greenland icesheet -- which, until the end of the 20th century accumulated as much mass as it shed -- holds enough frozen water to lift the world's oceans by seven metres.

Almost as alarming, however, as the icesheet's accelerating disintegration are the forces driving it, the authors reported this week in The Cryosphere, a peer-reviewed journal published by the European Geosciences Union.

More than half the dramatic loss in 2019 was due not to warmer-than-average air temperatures but rather unusual high-pressure weather systems linked to global warming.

Worst in at Least 1,200 Years

Megadrought

Nearly 1,000 years ago, a megadrought ravaged the southwestern U.S., swiftly wiping out a thriving indigenous culture and rendering once-arid land unusable. Scientists have long warned that the climate crisis may trigger another megadrought. And according to a new study, that megadrought isn't just on its way-it's likely already under way, and it could be worse than anything the region has ever seen.

The research, published in the journal of Science on Tuesday, is based on modern weather observations, 1,200 years of tree-ring data, and dozens of climate models. It is the most up-to-date and comprehensive long-term climate analysis of the region.

The study found that the extreme dry spell could hit a huge region of the West from Oregon and Montana, down through California and New Mexico, and part of northern Mexico. A leading cause of the increasingly dry conditions is the climate crisis. A warmer world creates the conditions for more severe, longer, and more widespread drought.

The effects of this emerging megadrought are already on display. Recent research shows that parts of the Colorado River-which 40 million people depend on for drinking water-is drying up. Forests are drying out, becoming infested with destructive insect outbreaks as warmer winters allow them to thrive. That's led to more frequent wildfires in California and the western U.S. at large. And as a result, people and ecosystems are suffering.

The researchers observed the growth rings of thousands of trees throughout the West to reconstruct rainfall patterns since 800. They found that the four major decades-long megadroughts that affected the area all occurred before the mid 17th century. Since then, there have been other droughts, but none came close to those-until now.

Fraudulent Ad

Facebook

A mother was mortified when she discovered a Facebook ad featuring a photo of her family, claiming all but one of the family members had died from coronavirus.

The fraudulent Facebook ad reportedly featured an eight-year-old photo of Sara Ancich's family and claimed they had all contracted COVID-19 after attending church, and all but one of the clan had died from the virus.

The "sole survivor", named 'Justin' was the only family member to wear a face mask, according to the ad, which was for a company which sells face masks.

CBS Los Angeles reported the ad also featured 'Justin' speaking about his ordeal surviving COVID-19, while his family 'died'.

Ms Ancich told CNN her youngest son was named Ryan, not 'Justin' and he is now 16-years-old.
