Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows...

They probably stole from it as Brass Bonanza was written 5 or so odd years after The Prisoner.
That show messed me up.
In my nightmares the last few days.
Most likely will watch the 17 episodes over again very soon.
Interesting Note about the Prisoner...
Patrick McGoohan only wanted it to be 7 episodes.
It got pushed to 17 and watered down because of money/greed... like usual, money/greed.
Check this interview out how these two guys are chain smoking and shooting the breeze.

Great shit Monet, thanks for posting. Recall that Patrick was on at least a couple of episodes of Columbo and played different characters. One was a military school headmaster and I forget the other right now. You might like this excerpt from another great comedy show from Dave Allen that PBS used to show (smoking was no problem then):

He was pretty good in Escape from Alcatraz as well.
Ironically he played the Warden.

Pure gold from 1978.
Eventually, we all end up in the Asylum.
Too many videos to list for Falco but he is/was one of a kind.
IMO, you have to be either on drugs or alcohol to enhance your viewing experience.
I suppose that is because he sang about the glorification of drug use so much lol.
It is imperative to watch his videos as it elevates his music to another level.
Only Hitler can rival his veracity for spewing out the German Language.

Monet, thanks again for the Falco movie reco - I watched it and found it interesting. One of the more fascinating facts was when they said that Falco was the only artist to achieve a United States #1 hit song that was in German. Prior to watching this movie reco, I had mistakenly thought that Nina with Ninety-Nine LuftBallons had also done this because I heard it all the time back when it was released on the radio here in the states.
Best, TP.
FALCO was a wild man who did what he wanted and damn the consequences.
I can relate.
I think he got into some gay or bi shit but I can overlook that because he was just an all out madman.
He would literally get blood transfusions so he could sober up and perform.
A bottle of Whiskey and Gin for breakfast was his day to day.
Nobody else really can intertwine German, English, Pop and Rap together like he did and make it enjoyable for all types of people.
That Fucking Song, Rock Me Amadeus was everywhere.
The guy oozed confidence and had a very direct approach.
I'd follow a guy into battle with that type of charisma and bravado.
He certainly loved womanizing, booze, drugs and the fast life.
Similar to Hunter S. Thompson I suppose.
They tried to make it sound like Falco drove into the bus on purpose but I think he was in a black out.
I'm ok with offing oneself but not taking out other people against their will.
I suppose, in the end, it is all Allah's Will as those Towel Heads claim?
Nobody can sing about how great cocaine and heroin is like he did.
I mean it was only about 40 years prior that the Allies were bombing the hell out of that country and the Germanic People.

Der Kommissar was another one I remember getting played all the time on the radio back when it was released. It was so popular that the dance squad at my high school used this as their main dance routine number (they practiced next to the soccer field where I played soccer). A very enjoyable song.
How about a change of pace

DannyJ, that was not the original group who sung it, it was actually done by a black group much better "The Avalons" but without a video which ill attach link: Most of those old songs of course did not have videos with their songs.

Sorry it is correct now as I at first duplicated the two songs.
Thank you Bosox. That's a lot of song packed into 2 1/2 minutes or so.
Continuing on with a change of pace, here is an instrumental from Chic:

Spooky, well that's a timeless classic of course.

Thank you Bosox.
Tableplay, I love a good Sax anty time especially a solo. I also like a sax solo mixed in with vocals. That's why I like the Classics 1V.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18Sua_QTDs0
Terrific Bosox, thanks. So you love a good sax solo huh ? well then get your mind blown:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANhb-svKimY
Sorry tableplay, I do not consider that song a solo. I think all the background music did not help Laws performance. He would have been better at playing alone.
The following song also has music but does not interfere with the sax sound.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHiGD68Q02A
I take that back my song would also be much better without the background music.
I don't care what anyone says.

No problem Bosox, I'm glad you liked it.
This does not make me a snob.
I know every word to every song on these two albums. (Tails & Firecracker)
Some refer to her music as Lesbian Folk Music although I disagree.
Just because Lesbians like her music doesn't make her music Lesbian Folk.
I'm pretty sure Lesbian Folk doesn't exist as I think you would just say Folk.
Her music is mostly dark which I like and yes I have a fetish for women in glasses.
I couldn't get the video of the playlists to embed so I provided the playlist above two individual songs.

Thanks for the song recos guys. I didn't realize that Jim Neighbors had pipes like that (or had forgotten that he did).
Our tastes in music, as with all things, will differ, but I think most if not all of us can relate to this tune, "Gamblin' Man."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXsEU7zGHM4
MrV, there are few songs that don't do much for me. Maybe, Ramblin' Man would have been better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x28jaeyX2s
I think that I'll make this one my theme song here. Something to stimulate senses.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsa6ojQcYXQ
Here's one of my favorite recently recorded (not vintage / classic) songs, "Down I-5."
I like to listen to it while driving on I-5 to Spirit Mtn. and Chinook Winds tribal joints.
At least I used to listen to it, pre-covid-19 sheltering in place.
It helps keep me centered and better able to endure the whims of outrageous fortune.

Bah Humbug!

My God. They should pair that up with that old Russian picture that you listed here, a while back. The title and director eludes me.
Anyway, I think that you are trying too hard to find meaning, or something. I mean, when one is on the right path, doing nothing does everything. (Kung Fu series).

Burning man: to me it epitomizes the best we can be.

There is no best we can be. You can never be smart, strong, rich, different, sane, etc, enough to truly break through anything. Not even in one's own mind.

132 <------------- 132 = 2*66 = 2*6*11 = (1 + 1)*6*11 ---> 11611, then 11911.
"The sum of all two-digit numbers that you can make from 132 is 132: 12 + 13 + 21 + 23 + 31 + 32 = 132. It is the smallest number with this property."
132 = 133-1 ---> 1331

1,934 -----------------> 1934 = 2*967 = 2*(1000 - 33) = (1000 - 33)(3 - 1) ---> 13331
Of course, both 1331 and 13331 ---> 131. Now it may be read both ways, as in 13 one way, and 13 the other way, and, 31 and 31 the other way.
Which is the 13th month, with the 31st day? Given that may take the months as 31, reduced to 7, after removing two twelve-month periods; and the days as either 13, or 17, with the average at 15. Can go 13 days forward, or, 13 days backward in a (30-day) month to give the 17th day. To arrive at day-15 of the 7th month, as the middle of the year with a day-31 of the 13th month. I image that this makes sense only if it's December 31st, today. Or, yesterday, half way around the globe. Perhaps then, well, in a sense, it's the longest day of the year, New Year's Eve.
Never thought of this, before, the 31st day of the 13 month. Has a very nice ring to it.
One interesting thing, about "Oh well". Wasn't it out in the same year as this re-play? In 1969? A 69-thing.
This year, about 51 years later, well, it's Jupiter aligned with Saturn instead of Mars, but, again, in the House of Aquarius. Happens about every 19.6*1 years. Another 69-thing.

The_Age_of_Aquarius_(albu...
The Age of Aquarius is the fourth album by American pop group The 5th Dimension, released in 1969 (see 1969 in music).
Artist: Fleetwood Mac
Album: Then Play On
Released: 1969
Genres: Folk Rock, Rock
A couple more numerals.
132 ---> 231 = 3*77 = 3*7*11 = 1*3*7*(7 + 3 + 1)
1331 = (1332 - 1) = [(1 + 1)*666 - (1 + 1)^0] = 11*11*11
13331 = (13332 - 1) = [(1 + 1)*6666 - (1 + 1)^0] = a prime.
Maybe, a brand new nickname is in order for the "new" guy, who is "around the twist". How about cuntsucker, little dung, or even... "the longest night of the year". Maybe, the "Oh Shit" guy.
All in good fun. Ha.
Not following your comments about dates and time, but yes, a lot of good music back in 1969.
The tunes kept coming in 1970: I always liked this one ...

The primary objective of numerology is to work out and on with one's own set of numbers. There's an inherent selfishness or whatever to it.
I know of a site where people get way in over their heads with trying to relate specific numbers to specific events. I made a few posts for fun, and, later on, I did tell them that any number can be made into any other number, because there is no one set number base. 666 in one number base is expressed as something different in another. Our standard, number base is base ten, which involves the digits from 0, to 9. If you want to work in, eg, number base eleven, then you have to add another digit or symbol, after 9, to count up to, before you hit the new meaning of 10, which would be eleven (in base ten). I write the bases out instead of with the numeral 10, because the numeral 10 is a combination of 0, and 1, where you end up after counting through all the digits or symbols, however many. To write, base 10, doesn't really specify how many digits are worked with. The site is a useful resource, though, to learn about the astrology side of numerolgy, and, hence, quite a bit of astrology, itself. Every now and then they surprise me with some different way of looking at numbers, in the numerological sense.
I got into these numbers, only three years ago, around the time I wound up the Bill Yung account. More into it, naturally, as LMR, when the Covid-19 posts started here. Then more, after I tied an online gematria calculator, and, got on to that site. Using the anagram solver was my own idea. Things with these numbers and words just seem to click, for me. I don't remember, ever, having to sit and sit to try to make these things work out in some very particular predetermined way. I like to the let the numerals and words lead me on, in the most random of ways.
I was plunging around in my last post here. Out of it came some weird "confirmation" of how I view cardinal versus ordinal numbers. I think that numeral 0 is the first numeral. So, then which is the 0th numeral? What, at least in physics, precedes 0, as leads to +/- 1? What comes before also this, in this way? The example there seems to hint that June 15 could be the middle of the year, in the thirteen month version of a year. The seventh month, instead of the sixth. Like the seventh of something goes with the something in its cardinal sense. Perhaps, the seventh dimension is dimension-6, which involves only six dimensions per se. The other thing that I saw, a couple of hours after sending the post here, was that a 1 can be tacked on to also 1969, to give 19691 = 7*29*97. I've had the numeral, 1969 pop up in some significant ways, before, it always seemed asymmetric, but, I never thought to put a 1 on the end of it. Look what becomes of 19691 = 7*29*97. It goes to 7*(30 - 1)*97 ---> 731_197, a couple of the most significant "mathematical numerology" numerals in my actual theory of everything. The 137, and the 197. I've played around with lots of such ways of looking at the fairly simple numerals, but, I hadn't seen this one, either.
I made a post at the site, too. It was about their leader making a lame post about the eclipse in 2024. Something about 2*24 = 48 means it's on 4/8/2024. It's in the series of eclipses that cross over themselves, if I recall, about every 19 years. I went the anagram route. The 2024 one crosses over (the 2017 one) at a place called Carbondale, Illinois. The anagram solution of Carbondale goes exactly -uses all the letters - to the Spanish word for candle holder. The anagram solution of, "Shut it down, Carbondale," goes to something like, northwest cloud band. Ha. Their leader thought that Carbondale had something to do with carbon. Way too simplistic.
All I can say, in general, about the numerological vent, is that when you have, maybe, a fairly serious theory of everything, tons of numbers to think about, already, suddenly seeing things in a whole new light, however, is a lot of fun. Just how deeply is a theory of everything supposed to run, anyway? Can a theory of everything work at, say, all number bases, but, in a different way for each?
What's this about a "theory of everything?"
Moving on, sometimes to amuse myself and help pass the time I see how many words I can come up with that are formed via alternating hand keystrokes on a keyboard.
For example, "bland;" L, R, L, R, L keystroke to form the word.
Not as much fun as doing crosswords in ink however.
My wife loves jigsaw puzzles, I like word games such as Scrabble.
To each his / her own.
