“Back To My Music” by the Good Rats from their 1974 record Tasty.
The sun is just coming over the hill and the coffee is on. Lou called yesterday…
“I ain’t doin’ nothin’, what are you doin’?”

“Me? nothin’”

“Well, we ought to do somethin’”.

Maybe that’s why this song comes to mind. I don’t know much about Good Rats. Had a couple of their records. Great band from Long Island. I always heard they were big on the East Coast but couldn’t catch a bus in fly over country. They had all the ingredients though.

As always, might as well click pause on the music player located in the side bar to your left before playing the YouTube.

I like mangoes. Tasty stuff.

From Breitbart/AFP.

A pair of Japanese mangoes known as “Eggs of the Sun” for their fiery colour and juicy flesh hatched a sweet deal for their owner on Thursday, fetching a record 2,000 dollars at auction.

The mangoes, produced in southern Miyazaki Prefecture, were sold for 200,000 yen in the season’s first auction here, an official at fruit wholesaler Tokyo Seika said. The buyer’s identity was not disclosed.

Woah! Two grand for mangoes.

Gotta admit, that’s a good looking mango, no doubt about it. But $2,000!!??

Last time somebody paid that kind of dough for a pair of mangoes, he was known as Client 9.
