«Randy, I realize I am but one of many many fans who love your work;
you probably don’t realize how much you’ve helped me through this dark
time in America. Each time I feel that we’ve hit rock bottom and that my
faith has been completely shattered in human nature, you pick me back
up and sent me on my feet again. You are a brilliant Musician, satirist,
and you really have your finger on the faltering pulse of Democracy
right now. We recently produced a staged reading of It Can’t Happen Here
by Sinclair Lewis. Thank you for keeping my faith in humanity alive.»
rhetorical question: « I love it when you do a song I already know and love. I love it when you do a song I never heard before. I love it when you do a two-for-the-price-of-one medley. I love it! »
Sarah W :
«They say laughter is the best medicine...and they're right!!! I feel
so much better after watching this! So good!! OMG Thank you, Randy

Lyrics You had plenty money 1922 You let other women make a fool of you Why don't you do right like some other men do? Get out of here and get me some money too You're sitting down, wondering what it's all about If you ain't got no money, they will put you out Why don't you do right like some other men do? Get out of here and get me some money too If you had prepared twenty years ago You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door Why don't you do right, like some other men do? Get out of here and get me some money too I fell for your jivin' and I took you in Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin Why don't you do right like some other men do? Get out of here and get me some money too Why don't you do right, like some other men do? Like some other men do
«LilannB: I first heard this song in Who Framed Roger Rabbit with Amy Irving singing as Jessica Rabbit. I also like this sultry more up tempo version of the song.»
Best known versions of the song have been performed by Peggy Lee and
Amy Irving as the voice of Jessica Rabbit (a cartoon character from the
film, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
Boy the way Glenn Miller played Songs that made the Hit Parade. Guys like us we had it made, Those were the days.
And you knew who you were then, ("And you know WHO you were then" or "where." ) Girls were girls and men were men, Mister we could use a man Like Herbert Hoover again.
Didn't need no welfare state, Everybody pulled his weight. Gee our old LaSalle ran great. Those were the days.
{In the longer version} People seemed to be content, Fifty dollars paid the rent, Freaks were in a circus tent. Those were the days.
Take a little Sunday spin, Go to watch the Dodgers win. Have yourself a dandy day, That cost you under a fin.
Hair was short and skirts were long. Kate Smith really sold a song. I don't know just what went wrong, Those were the days.

Overthinking the Lyrics to the ‘All in the Family’ Theme Song
By Patrick Sauer ♪♫ November 23, 2016
I had the good fortune of speaking with Norman Lear about art, activism, and Archie Bunker for Smithsonian. It also gave me the chance to get an answer to a question I’ve been pondering for thirty-five years. First, take a quick stroll down memory lane, through the streets of Astoria, Queens, to 704 Hauser St.
Here’s the mystery. In “Those Were the Days,” Edith Bunker, a woman who would have been born in the Great Depression, sings along with “Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.”
Now Archie, sure I get it. He’s a reactionary who ties the New Deal to the “welfare state.” (Even though he’s probably got a pension and will definitely be collecting Social Security soon, but that’s a rant for another day.) But Edith? She’s a sweetheart. Daffy to be sure, but she seems like a kindly woman who volunteers at the church soup kitchen. Surely she remembers Hoovervilles! What gives, Mr. Lear?
“You’re quite right, she wouldn’t have been a Hoover fan,” Lear says with a knowing laugh. “Edith was singing Archie’s song, which is something she could do comfortably and then deny it. Not deny she sang it, but disavow the principle. You’ve clearly been thinking about this for a long time. I appreciate it.”
Charles Bradley II - Published on Aug 25, 2013 This is both the opening and closing themes for the classic sitcom "All in the Family".
The opening theme, "Those Were the Days" (with extra verses) was composed by Lee Adams (lyrics) and Charles Strouse (music), and performed by Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton.
The full version of "Those Were the Days" reached #30 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart in early 1972.
The closing theme, "Remembering You" was played by Roger Kellaway with lyrics co-written by Carroll O'Connor.
The lyrics to the closing theme were never heard in the series, although O'Connor recorded a vocal version of "Remembering You" for a record album, and performed it several times on various TV series.

'and you knew what you were then, foreigners were foreigners and Americans were A-meri-cans. Mister, we could use a man like Donald Trump again'.
Boy, the way Glenn Miller played.
Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us, we had it made.
Those were the days.
Didn't need no welfare state.
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.
And you knew who you were then.
Girls were girls and men were men.
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
People seemed to be content.
Fifty dollars paid the rent.
Freaks were in a circus tent.
Those were the days.
Take a little Sunday spin,

Here Are The Ages You Peak At Everything Throughout Life.
Wise Wanderer - Nov 29, 2017
Aging can seem like a scary prospect, but a wealth of scientific studies have found that youth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. There are plenty of cases in which human beings peak well into middle and old age. Teenagers, for instance, may have vitality on their side, but older people are generally more psychologically stable. And so it goes with several phenomena people experience as they age.
Many of the points mark the middle of an age range that scientists have identified, which means they are all determined by averages. Some are also surveys, not controlled trials, so there is a possibility the self-reports don’t capture the most accurate picture. But in many cases, the numbers keep cropping up for a reason, which is that life isn’t a downhill slide from youth. Courtesy of Tech Insider

It turns out life really is the best classroom. A team of psychologists asked people to read about a conflict, then asked them questions about it. The scientists analyzed the responses for characteristics like being able to see from someone else's point of view, anticipating change, considering multiple possible turnouts, acknowledging uncertainty, and searching for compromise. They found that the oldest group they studied - people who were between 60 and 90 - did better than other ages on almost every count.
Psychological well-being peaks at about 82. In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, scientists asked people to picture a 10-step ladder, with the best possible life on the top rung and the worst possible life on the bottom rung. The oldest group they studied (82- to 85-year-olds) gave the highest average rung number, about 7. People are most likely to make big decisions when their age ends in a 9. There really is something daunting about approaching a round-numbered birthday. Researchers looking at people who were 29, 39, 49, or 59 found that they were more likely to make a big life change - good or bad. They found that these "9-enders" were over-represented in groups of people seeking to have an affair, people killing themselves, and people running a marathon for the first time.

For a score with a range between 300-850, a credit score of 700 or above is generally consideredgood.
A score of 800 or above on the same range is considered to be excellent.
Most credit scores fall between 600 and 750.
Higher scores represent better credit decisions and can make creditors more confident that you will repay your future debts as agreed.
Credit scores are used by lenders, including banks providing mortgage loans, credit card companies, and even car dealerships financing auto purchases, to make decisions about whether or not to offer your credit (such as a credit card or loan) and what the terms of the offer (such as the interest rate or down payment) will be. There are many different types of credit scores. FICO® Scores and scores by VantageScore are two of the most common types of credit scores, but industry-specific scores also exist.
What is a Good FICO Score?
One of the most well-known types of credit score are FICO Scores, created by the Fair Isaac Corporation. FICO Scores are used by many lenders, and often range from 300 to 850. A FICO Score above 670 is considered a good credit score on these models, and a score above 800 is usually perceived to be exceptional.
What is a Good Vantage Score?
Scores by VantageScore are also types of credit scores that are commonly used by lenders. The VantageScore was developed by the 3 major credit bureaus including Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. The latest VantageScore 3.0 model uses a range between 300 and 850. A VantageScore above 700 is considered to be good, while above 750 is considered to be excellent.
Factors That Affect Your Credit Scores The information that impacts a credit score varies depending on the scoring model being used. Credit scores are generally affected by elements in your credit report, such as:
Payment history for loans and credit cards, including the number and severity of late payments
Credit utilization rate
Type, number and age of credit accounts
Total debt
Public records such as bankruptcy, civil judgments, or tax liens
How many new credit accounts you’ve recently opened
Number of inquiries for your credit report
FICO Score Factors:
Most influential: Payment history on loans and credit cards
Highly influential: Total debt and amounts owed
Moderately influential: Length of credit history
Less influential: New credit and credit mix (the types of accounts you have)
VantageScore Factors:
Most influential: Payment history
Highly influential: Age and type of credit, percent of credit limit used
Moderately influential: Total balances and debt
Less influential: Recent credit behavior and inquiries, available credit
Credit scores do not consider the following information:
Your race, color, religion, national origin, sex or marital status (U. S. law prohibits credit scoring formulas from considering these facts, any receipt of public assistance or the exercise of any consumer right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.)
Your age
Your salary, occupation, title, employer, date employed or employment history (However, lenders may consider this information in making their overall approval decisions.)
Where you live
Certain types of inquiries (requests for your credit report). The score does not count “consumer disclosure inquiry,” which is a request you have made for your own credit report in order to check it. It also does not count “promotional inquiry” requests made by lenders in order to make a “preapproved” credit offer or “account review inquiry” requests made by lenders to review your account with them. Inquiries for employment purposes are also not counted.
