Sad news about President Carter, but I think the onion said it best:


Thirty-ninth president of the United States, whose four years in office were somehow the least impressive of his entire life. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, prosperous farmer, nuclear engineer, reformist, and governor of Georgia prior to becoming president in 1977, Carter strangely hit the most pronounced lull in his career during his single term as the nation’s chief executive. While his presidency was marked by occasional successes such as the Camp David Accords, Carter’s professional life really took off again when he left office. In these years, he founded a human rights nonprofit that won him the Nobel Peace Prize, went on international diplomatic missions, and became the public face of Habitat for Humanity, worthy accomplishments that made his four years as president of the United States a blip in an otherwise distinguished lifetime of public service.


His endless energy to help others has been nothing short of amazing.  At home, with his wife and family at 98 is a pretty good way to go.  Sometimes, you just have to enjoy the little time you have left.

Easy to dismiss Bacharach and David as "just pop" but in no way were they JUST anything in terms of songwriting. Words and music, complexities and rhythms that always made me go, "How the hell did they think of that?"

I dunno.  One of my very early guilty pleasure songs.  Still just plain fun.  Written By Bacharach and David.

and one more, since I love Burt so damn much. 
I played this today in the car and just about wept at the perfection of how Tashian worked in melancholy and love and a little hope - with Burt's fantastic composition of melody and chords. It's things like this that made me stop thinking I had any business trying to make music, when other people can do it so much better...

About five or so years ago I saw him in SF, sitting in the front row right there staring at Burt Freakin Bacharach.
Near the end he announced it was time for everyone to sing along (Raindrops) then leaned off mic and, to himself, went “promises promises…” and chuckled.

When he was done a few people jumped up to shake his hand, and he was just a few feet away, and my Better Half™ looked puzzled at me and asked if I were going to get up. “No. I don’t deserve it.”

Two things of his that are slightly off the beaten path to share with you. One, his song for his autistic daughter Nikki.  Click on this and be surprised. Those of us a Certain Age have it seared into our brains. 

The other, one of the greatest  existential pop songs (via Hal David).

He wrote a lot of brilliant tunes.  Some were quite complex ones really - odd time signature changes and unusual "jazzy" chord progressions.
