"Monday, Monday, can't trust that day
Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday mornin' you gave me no warnin' of what was to beOh Monday, Monday, how could you leave and not take me"

| The Mamas and the Papas |
The lyrics above, sung by The Mamas and Papas, was on the first album I bought and one of about four or five I brought with me to Brownsville in 1966.
Back then the faces of the Republican Party were true conservatives, men of honor, like Barry Goldwater and Howard Baker, not liars and con artists like George Santos and Donald Trump.
Cassius Clay was kicking ass and shouting poetry.
JFK stupidly got us involved in an unwinnable war in southeast Asia, while Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger escalated things, bombing the shit out of Vietnam, while losing over 50,000 young Americans.
Despite the carnage, South and North Vietnam did unite and Vietnam is one of the most beautiful countries in the world with Da Nang a huge resort with white sand beaches and luxury hotels. Just don't step on a land mine!
