Bloganuary Day 21: We have been here before….. If you could, what year would you time travel to, and why? You may recall, dear reader, that time travel was my chosen superpower earlier this week. Been there, done that – which is rather appropriate for the subject of time travel, I suppose. In the interest…
Jim’s theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week could be broadly classified as ‘thoroughfares’ (streets, avenues, etc). Plenty of songs to choose from, then. I’ve gone for just your basic road, however, mainly because it gives me the opportunity to post another number from The Doors’ performance at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970.…
