Attitude, It's all about Attitude

3 years ago

Reading most of the comments this day and examining exactly what's going on in this world. Reminded me of a song written a long time ago by Cole Porter and made famous by Sinatra,Tony Bennett among others so I posted some of those lyrics below. Anything Goes by
Tony Bennett, Count Basie

Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
If today
Any shock they should try to stem
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking.
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose.
Anything goes.
If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like,
Or me undressed you like,
Why, nobody will oppose.
When every night the set that's smart is in-
Truding in nudist parties in
Studios.
Anything goes.
The world has gone mad today
Days night today Blacks White today and most guys today that women prize today are just silly gigolos
Anything Goes!

That's my point the attitude of most of the people today and it doesn't matter where your living is
"They just don't care".
Think about this protesting that may have started peacefully but now has turned into rioting,vandalism theft,assaults and even murder.
Then there is this pandemic that people will just not cooperate with officials and put so many others at risk by their actions. It's all about attitude and I'll do what I want with out any respect for others. Very Sad!
