City of New Orleans" is a folk song written by Steve Goodman (and first recorded for Goodman's self-titled 1971 album), describing a train ride from Chicago to New Orleans via the Illinois Central Railroad in bittersweet and nostalgic terms. Goodman got the idea while traveling on the eponymous train for a visit to his wife's family. He performed the song for Arlo Guthrie in the Quiet Knight, a bar in Chicago, and Guthrie agreed to add it to his repertoire. The song was a hit for Guthrie on his 1972 album Hobo's Lullaby, and is now more closely associated with him, although Goodman performed it until his death in 1984. The song has also been covered by Willie Nelson, John Denver, Johnny Cash, The Country Gentlemen, Judy Collins, Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, Sammi Smith, Hank Snow, Gerard Cox, Rudi Carell, Joe Dassin, Richard Clayderman and others.…
My comment on Ace of Spades where I posted a link to this video: Steve in 1972, a couple of years before we first met him. So young - still in his chubby chipmunk-cheeked stage. Steve always changed it up on every song, kept it fresh. Got misty watching, between the song itself, and missing him. 1984 was a long, long time ago. YouTube video, 3:41

Okay, not so much political but since this header was already in use today, this gets put here.
His dress looks yellow to me, but I think the dress-color controversy is old stuff. I've said it before about badly-dressed cross-dressers: Honey, don't you have any girlfriends who could advise you to not go out looking like that?

Voting Rights
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) recently warned that “dangerous new policies” made by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who took the top job at the US Postal Service in June, will prevent mail-in ballots from being counted. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has charged that there is a conspiracy afoot to “undermine and dismantle the post office ahead of the November election.”
