Now, I vastly prefer to post Euro-stuff, Euro-related stuff, and Euro-tangentials here… but, bah. It’s Casual Friday!, and this place is still about things you readers might enjoy, from me to you? Anyway, I hope so!
SONNY & CHER: (amazing how *few* know their actual best song!!)

FRANK SINATRA: (His career had been miraculously revived, but now, inevitably seemed to be winding down upon its final Swan Song of sorts. So he re-teamed with his “Strangers in the Night” songwriters to come up with this wild one, which sounds to me like right out of the James Bond playbook!
The World We Knew (Over and Over):

Saint Pepsi - Private Caller - absolutely iconic shit from the 80’s!

(all built out of soul-less ad-space, right?)
In the wake of my recent health-shizzle (stroke)
Oh no, I’m sorry. :-( I hope you’re going to be (mostly) OK.
I’ll listen to all of these when I finish work. The name Saint Pepsi sounds familiar somehow?
I’m coping, thank you! 😅
And yeah, that video seems so iconic of the USA / Hong Kong in the 80’s. I wonder what music videos were like in France, in the 80’s?I do remember the hilarious Ca Plane Pour Moi and that beautiful movie song A La Claire Fontaine… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9kWRpPy1ic
Hey, I hope your recovery is going OK. I’ve had a couple relatives have to deal with strokes and the different levels of recovery really freak me out.
Thank you! I seem to be getting better, and honestly the “stroke” term is a bit of a placeholder, not unlike my whole disease, ME/CFS.
My stepdad came to visit me a couple weeks ago, which I was greatly looking forward to based on fun times we’ve had in the past. After planning things out the first day, I went to bed, slept well, and could barely function the rest of the trip. Kept falling down and falling asleep as we tried to do some stuff the next day. Went to the ER the next day, sat around for ~14hrs, and unfortunately, they couldn’t turn up much.
I’ve been trying to adjust some things ever since, like more salt and iodine capsules, and so far so good, but I’ve still been knocked down a whole level. Which is not good when you already have ME/CFS and are mainly bed-bound. But… we all have problems in life. :S
Oh man, what a bummer. I went to my doctor over a decade ago with all the symptoms and my doctor ran some blood tests and just kind of shrugged like,“Hey, I tried, good luck.” The stupid, annoying, fatigue for no reason gets me so angry (or depressed as the moments change).
Shit… I hate to hear about CFS hitting younger people (which I assume you are, ‘he naively stated’). Like, at least I made it to late middle-age. I would not wish this shizzle on my worst enemy.
Feel free to share details, or whatever you like.
Thanks, not young (my first time voting was for Dukakis). Symptoms started in my early '40s. I kept thinking it was just something that would pass. Sigh. It does make a mockery of living.
You are always welcome here. 💚
Hey I hope you’re all well!
Thanks! And btw, I’ve tried to keep Quotes! going as I can…
