Jim, you are so disingenuous and full of shit. You disapprove of this thread, but rather than lock or delete it (as I and others have said is fine), you post purposefully unattractive images to derail it. Save your rationale of broadening the idea of "sexy", just look at your posts. You're trolling, plain and simple. I agree that being a "moderator" doesn't mean you don't have a voice, but the role of moderator does carry some expectations about how one should act and express themself. Honesty, sincerity and maturity are qualities that come to my mind. In many instances, I think you do a fair job in this respect, but this thread is a glaring example of where you fall short. Another example is the last part of your post, "So, ok, offended party, here's your chance to speak out directly. You know who you are." What is this? A dare? An attempt to shame me? I strongly object to Dmitry's swipe at our Vice President. But rather than attack him openly (for this, and for his stupid comment shortly after equating the posting of male sensuality with being a homosexual), I sought a more measured and moderate path per board rules. The fact that you find irony in someone asking you if this situation warranted the attention of a moderator just shows how inconsistent you are in this role. Finally, it says something that I and others include a moderator on their ignore list.

You mean "the Bergmans", of course.

Marilyn Bergman was an Oscar, Emmy & Grammy-winning lyricist, not a composer. She and her husband Alan collaborated with Marvin Hamlisch ("The Way We Were"), Lew Spence ("Nice 'n' Easy"), Quincy Jones ("In the Heat of the Night"), Michel Legrand ("The Windmills of Your Mind") and many others. "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" was composed by Legrand, with lyrics by the Bergmans.

Hey guys, it's 5 days into the new year and we are woefully behind in our annual donations. If you're a member, give. If you post every day (or more), give some more. Thanks for your consideration.

Its Happy New Year, and I wish you well in 2022.

Betty White has left us just a few weeks shy of her 100th birthday. I liked so much about her - her comedic sense, her good-natured personality and her love and advocacy of animal rights, to name a few. Rest easy Ms. White, and thank you.

Thank you, Ken, and best wishes for the New Year.

John Madden, a legendary figure known to one generation as a Hall of Fame coach, another generation as the sport’s greatest announcer, and yet another generation for the video game that bears his name, has died at the age of 85. The NFL announced Madden’s passing today. Madden’s influence on the sport of football is impossible to overstate. He was the youngest head coach in pro football when Al Davis hired him to coach the Oakland Raiders, and he led them to a Super Bowl title while having so much success that he still has the all-time highest winning percentage among all coaches who won at least 100 games.

My favorite Bunky.

Enjoy on Spotify.

I don't think any songs "need to be rested". Unimaginative arrangements and performances of standards should be banned, however.
