So true

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

The reason this is so important and so necessary is that of all the Executive Branch departments, the State Department BY FAR has the worst form of a cultural illness where its employees lose sight of the fact that they serve the American people and they instead believe they serve whatever nation or cause their diplomacy is focused on.

If you ever served downrange in the U.S. military and had to work closely with State Department employees, you know I speak truth.

Bravo, Mr. President and Secretary Rubio. This change is wholly necessary. Symbolism matters.

And if you are a State Department employee and don't like this?

Then quit, and good riddance.

Name the song

Every time I call my baby
Try to get a date
My boss says “No dice, son
You gotta work late”

Sometimes I wonder
What I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure

[Steve Brooks @stevenbrooks99]

Well said. So true

[Let Us Now Praise... The Beatles @BeatlesPraise]

"When I was growing up, you were supposed to be different. You were either a great lyricist or a guitar band with great guitar players or your thing was melodies — or you were the Beatles, who had all of that. Now the product has to fit the marketplace and the marketplace wants this ONE thing and if you’re going to sell five million records you damned well better sound like that one thing. There are a lot of people looking to have a cut or a smash or a hit, or whatever you want to call it, and they are all writing the same thing.

"When I heard 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' on the radio, it was the most thrilling thing I’d ever heard. Even though it’s just a boy-girl song, there was something magic about it. There was something really sparkly and different about it that we'd never heard in rock and roll before. A lot of musicians you talk to, if you ask them what is your favorite Beatles song, they'll say 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' simply because it gave us what rock and roll became. The Beatles just sort of informed everything else from that point on.

"The idea then was to be different. The Beatles changed my life. [They] changed everybody's lives. When they came out, I knew — and I knew it then — that the bar had been set so high for my generation that we'd never reach it. Subconsciously, I think I knew that was never going to happen again. I grew up being in bands, and what we all wanted to be was the Beatles. I think that’s driven every musician who was around in that time — you get a band together and you want to be the Beatles. That drives you."
