Brevity by Dan Thompson for August 30, 2023

Let me guess, the song is called “Today”.

Yeah, I’m sum… smr… smha… intelligent.

WHY

The catcher is Today. Tomorrow is pitching.

Yes! Stan Getz plays jazz…great jazz…smooooth jazz.

You could have also gone with Jefferson Airplane’s “Today”.

The first comment to the youtube video went right under my skin:

@teamclinical1611vor 2 Jahren (bearbeitet)Didn’t really know my dad. He died 3 months before I was born, he was in the military service. In case he passed away. He left me a box, in the box was this album. A flask, his gold necklace. And every time I listen to this song I feel like my dad is sitting with me. Like, feels like we both jammin out together. And never meeting him has made me listen to this song. You learn a lot from a mans music taste. (edit- i never thought i would get so many likes on anything i ever made, thank you all for the love it means a lot)

You do know that’s a song about committing suicide, right?

Never heard of it.

Their music never struck a gourd with me.

I’m not even going to ask.

Like a single panel version of Pastis’s strip that did for Rock what Abbot and Costello did for Baseball and MST3K did for Japanese theater.
