By all accounts an accurate portrayal of the Churchill-De Gaulle relationship.
The De Gaulle-Churchill relationship is one of the funniest parts of WW2, you could write a comedy about it https://t.co/5pibsPwCbA

Bill Withers, live in 1974 on the BBC. The final line of the song is in the pantheon of finest last lines in music.

Composed in 1932 by Harold Arlen (music) and Ted Koehler (lyrics). Arlen and Koehler also together wrote Get Happy, I've Got The World on a String, and Stormy Weather. With other lyricists, Arlen wrote the music for Over The Rainbow (as well as the other songs featured in The Wizard of Oz), The Man That Got Away, That Old Black Magic, It's Only A Paper Moon, and One For My Baby (And One More For The Road). Louis Armstrong puts his unique stamp on this version with his horn and voice.
Like everyone else I liked and admired Dolly Parton and featured her in four posts over the years.
This is Train Train from her bluegrass period backed by the great pickers at Union Station with Allison Krauss singing backup. You can also hear her transform Stairway to Heaven into a gospel hymn with her adding lyrics at the end, and perform a lovely version of Neil Young's After The Gold Rush with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt.
Today I learned that in 2020 the University of Texas School of Journalism and Media established the Dan Rather Medals for News and Guts. What a travesty and what a disgrace for journalism. Read Promoting Disinformation to find out why.
