FIFTH!

It's Ludwig van Beethoven's birthday, so what better music for the pub than his fifth?

It's also Jane Austen's birthday. I would like to reread some of her work since I've been to Bath.

Did you meet the wife of Bath there?

The van the Jersey City shooters lived in has been recovered by the FBI, which proves they can still go after real criminals.

And it means the shooters lived in a van down by the river!

That's a real gem. When I think of Chaucer in rock music, I think of this, though apparently the songwriter said it had nothing to do with The Canterbury Tales.

I loved Bath. They've done a beautiful job preserving the Georgian and Regency architecture. You can visit the Assembly Rooms that Austen mentions and there's a very nice costume museum. There's Bath Abbey, and of course the restored Roman Baths. In fact, they're restoring Bath Abbey and they're going to use the hot springs to heat the floors - it's kind of surprising they didn't think of that sooner.

Funny how little attention it's gotten since they found out the suspects were Black Israelites.

But it was inspired by Bach

Legitimizing this House impeachment effort politically weaponizes impeachment and demeans the Constitution.”

Same with all the beatings of Jews in Brooklyn - if it can't be blamed on Trump, it isn't news

And the fact the Poway and Pittsburgh synagogue shooters hated Trump isn't news either

Yes. I was referring to the line, "as the miller told his tale."

That's a nifty little article. I remember hearing Bach's St. Matthew's Passion and thinking, by golly, that's "An American Tune" by Paul Simon! (Okay, it wasn't all that long ago.)

Is this the song you mean?

That's the one. Listen to the part that begins, "We come on the ship they called the Mayflower, we come on the ship that sailed the moon."

I see you, but I was also in another conversation elsewhere online. The Democrats know impeachment will fail and they're scrambling to find ways to blame the Republicans. Their idiot voters will lap it up.
