The beautiful woman pictured above had several songs written about her which sold well over ten million records. Her name is Pattie Boyd, but perhaps you know her as Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Clapton, or, better yet “Layla.”
To watch her famous husbands perform some of the tunes that they wrote about her, click the link at the bottom of the page.

GEO’S LIFE-LINERS
You can overdose on mind-alternating drugs but not on the mind-alternating truth.

When and who was it that decided that the rich people on the losing side of a war, don’t lose anything? Oh, and how come Cuba and Israel didn’t buy into that concept?

How long do you suppose it will be until the overused word, “racist,” finally burns out like Right On, Far Out, and Crazy did?

Whenever you stumble, just make it part of your act and keep on dancin’.

Is it just me, or do the folks who are in charge of how much everybody makes tend to overpay themselves?

What successful company bought out by someone ever become better?

Women used to know their place, which my daughters still do. However, I never had to teach them that their place was down front.

Does anybody know in days hours or minutes how long, coming soon is?

For the last decade or so, we’ve been fighting the war in the desert door to door, and now a virus, yet the military still wants more money from congress to build faster airplanes and bigger warships. Why do we need them?

How it is, ain’t how it’s gonna be.

When you do the wrong thing for the right reason, it’s still wrong.

Driving my daughter Cami to work this morning, I realized that the last time I filled my car up was in March and I’ve still got a quarter of a tank left.

Bob Christy: On December 30th, 1994, I was driving to a meeting with our station’s attorneys in Wellesley, MA. I was on the Mass Pike and had dialed around the radio checking things out, KISS, EEI, WBZ regular programming on the air. I turned on WBUR, Boston University’s NPR station and they are doing wall to wall coverage of a shooting at an abortion clinic in Brookline. I listened for a few minutes and turned back to WBZ, nothing.
I called Len Malo at our station and told him what was going on, he checked it out and broke in on the air with a bulletin. I went back to WBZ, still nothing…I knew at that moment the clock was ticking on the number one radio news outlet in Boston.
It took WBZ a half hour to catch up.
The funny thing or maybe not so funny is at the time WBZ was in the same building as WBZ TV, who was all over the story.
WBUR is the top radio news station in Boston today. They are on top of breaking news and do brilliant deep-dive coverage of stories as well. The long-form stories they did on the Whitey Bulger trial were excellent.

Today, in L.A., If KPCC in Pasadena had a better signal, they’d be on top of radio news in short order. The thing that all these NPR news operations have in common is a total commitment to news, and they get excellent demographics by doing it. Fred Heckman once told me, “if there is a column of smoke in the sky and you can’t tell them why it’s there, you’re finished.” it’s still true today and always will be. (I Write The Wrongs)

Doug Chappell: George, Funny thing between Canada and the USA many Canadians think it is wrong for Trump to want to have the Southern border secure from Latinos crossing illegally into the USA, BUT they are also pissed that Trudeau is allowing/encouraging illegal immigrants flowing across the border at Champlain NY into Quebec
“OTTAWA – Canadian officials in Nigeria are working with the U.S. on developing tools to flag Nigerians applying for U.S. visas who may be at “high risk” of crossing illegally into Canada across the U.S. border. So far this year, the majority of illegal migrants arriving in Canada are Nigerians who have recently been issued U.S. travel visas.”
Canada has become the Nation of double standards. (Classy)

George: Geo: Love your blog, George. I was one of the guys fired by you in Toronto when you changed from MOR to rock. Your firing me at CFTR was just what I’d Needed; I was way in over my head.
Any news of Keith Elshaw, he was one of your talents, I think? Regards, and keep on keeping on. BTW John Tory was there during my time. (Rocket Man)
Geo: Damn, I hope I was kind about it, George? CFTR changed a lot of lives for the better, including mine. I used to hear from Keith, who was my assistant P.D., but we’ve fallen out of touch.

Earl Mann: Excellent article, George. It is appalling to see the media’s continual attempts to castrate and crucify this man! Trump has done an amazing job, especially considering the slings and arrows the Left has thrown at him.
The economy is booming! More people have more money in their 401K’s than they ever have before! The stock market is higher than it has ever been thanks to Trump’s deregulation and his cutting of corporate taxes! “Huge” amounts of money are now flowing back into the U.S. from overseas, creating jobs, and improving infrastructure!
Illegal immigrants are no longer flooding into the U.S. because they know Trump means business! And, finally, instead of ‘leading from behind’ as Obama did, Trump is telling the world two things: “America first” and “Don’t fuck with us”! BTW, getting China to begin to pressure North Korea seriously is the result of Trump’s leadership no less. Gone are the “Kumbaya” days of a feckless and impotent globalist – Obama! (Unthinkable Trump)
