I always thought that the whole Nixon/Elvis thing was an instance where “The King” got utterly played by Tricky Dick and his pals, though I didn’t hear Elvis complaining at the time (John Lennon would reply to Presley later on about The Beatles and drug use, something about Elvis selling out when he enlisted; yes, the Fab Four certainly consumed their share of hallucinogens, but Elvis would turn into a walking pharmacy under the “care” of Dr. Nick himself)…
…and there actually are retailers out there that are trying (in their way, I guess) to be “family friendly” for the holidays – so let’s give them “a taste” as much as we can, OK?...
..and to the seasonal stuff we go – I think we're going to have a “wet” Christmas in these parts, as opposed to a “white” one...
...and let's order up a side o' soul, OK?...
...and some blues while we're at it (the needle isn't completely in sync, but that's OK)...
...meanwhile, Captain Kirk explains it all (joke)...
...and it isn't Christmas without family misbehavior, hopefully not involving the police (or nothing they'll actually report, anyway)...
...and RIP Joe Cocker, taking a break from the seasonal stuff – nobody sang Ray Charles covers like he did, among the other songs he sang well.
