Schoolhouse Rock!

Schoolhouse Rock!: The Official Guide | Tom Yohe, George Newall

Can we do #TuesdayTunes on a Thursday night?? This just came up on a Spotify-curated playlist, and I could smell that school bus seat vinyl and that particular teenage muskiness. Man…took me straight back to high school. Hadn‘t heard the song in years!

vivastory And how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind? 🎶
So good! 8mo

BarbaraBB Of course we can! I didn‘t know this The Verve song but am listening to it while typing this. I love it when a song brings back such memories! 8mo

BarbaraBB Still listening and what a good album! I only knew them from their biggest hit here, Bitter Sweet Symphony, which I didn‘t like much. 8mo

Megabooks @BarbaraBB yes! This was an album I bought back then for their single, but I like the rest of the album much more now than BSS; although the orchestral background is still great. I associate that song with the final scene in Cruel Intentions, which was my college roommate‘s favorite movie so I saw it A LOT! Many good memories with her! 😁😁 8mo

Megabooks @BarbaraBB I‘m definitely a nostalgia listener, but I‘m picking up some great new songs too lately. 8mo

Megabooks @vivastory the lyrics definitely hit harder as an adult than they did as a teen. 8mo

BarbaraBB I‘d love to know what you‘re picking up these days and hope you‘ll continue #ThursdayTunes 😜🥰 (edited) 8mo

TieDyeDude This song is new to me, but I like it! Similar orchestral arrangement to BSS. Is that throughout the album? 8mo

Bookwomble @TieDyeDude Yes, it is. I'd recommend Richard Ashcroft's solo albums to you, especially Alone With Everybody and Human Conditions. Song for the Lovers from the former has a great orchestral introduction 😊 https://open.spotify.com/track/7a90gal9tr3yS8bEXUvu8D?si=-O-28vPQSKOgNjSPsyRh4A&... (edited) 8mo

Megabooks @Bookwomble thanks for chiming in! And recommending another artist I‘ll check out! I hope you try the album @TieDyeDude 👍🏻 8mo

Bookwomble @Megabooks You're welcome. Richard Ashcroft is the lead singer and main songwriter for The Verve, so if you like them, you'll like him 😊 8mo

Megabooks @Bookwomble I am SO BAD at knowing the names of band members! 😂😂 even bands I‘ve enjoyed for years I‘d have trouble naming them. 8mo

Bookwomble @Megabooks You only know if you know! 😊 8mo

Yesterday, Illinois Passed HB 2789 - the Right to Read Bill. This bill helps curb book banning, by saying any library that participates in this activity will not be eligible for state funding. There are only small pockets in Illinois with problems like Florida, Missouri, and Indiana, but we don't want those problems to grow, so the state is being proactive. The bill still has to go before the sent where it is expected to pass, and the governor

LibrarianRyan WILL Sign it when it reaches his desk. This is a first of it's kind bill in the nation. And it's awesome to see a state legislature that on a bipartisan effort sees that all books have a purpose, and that every one should have access to them. No one is making anyone read them, but they should still have access.

#FallTreasures #ConstitutionDay

It is thanks to Schoolhouse Rock that I can recite (ok, sing) word for word, the Preamble to the Constitution 46 years after that episode (called “The Preamble”) aired. 🇺🇸

In case you are feeling nostalgic: https://youtu.be/0EfnNUt_nwY (Beware it‘s an earworm! 🐛)

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @RadicalReader I do have the collection on DVD somewhere....great idea! Although YouTube is probably faster. Just think about how much has changed since they were on, and how much we still remember them! 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Buddys_Momma @Jess7 just think of all we learned AND still remember from them. They obviously worked, they should teach with music much more. 7y

mrozzz 😟😟😟😟 7y

DivineDiana Thank you for sharing this information. 🙁 7y

There it is. Unless I'm wildly off (and I would LOVE to be) all those punitive measures/rewards I just slogged through about states going over/under per capita medical expenditures, are based on caps on these groups. I'm so mad I'm American right now 😡#litsypartyofone #thispartierisFURIOUS #politics

BookishMarginalia Indeed! This bill is a horror, by the way. It decimates even insurance through the workplace... (edited) 7y

TheBookDream Yeah, I won't lie that at the end of it I'm going to have to go read some interpretations by people smarter than me, but the parts I do understand are pretty awful 7y

Just a reminder while we all enjoy #LItsypartyofone: The US Senate's healthcare bill was released yesterday and they want to vote on it next Thursday, which is a pretty accelerated time frame. Take some time to read it and then make sure your senators know how YOU want them to vote! #vote #politics #citizenship PDF included in the article linked below.

BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks for posting! My Republican Senator's voicemail was full. Continuing to try! This bill is evil. 7y

TheBookDream @BarbaraTheBibliophage Ugh! I'm lucky I'm in CT where our reps don't pull that kind of crud. You could always try e-mail, protesting at their office, or tweeting at them. Although, tweeting could bring out the trolls. Yeah, I'm not impressed. I don't disagree that AHCA has problems, but I do agree with those that say the ACA is a tax cut disguised as healthcare. What a mess! 😡 7y

TheBookDream @BarbaraTheBibliophage You can call the Capitol switchboard—202-224-3121. Or there's a resistbot (text resist to 50409) to send a fax to your unreachable reps. 7y
