"All Of the Prices Have Gone Up (But We Can't Pay That)"

- Meat Loaf classic adapted by Marsh Family

This is our tribute to the larger-than-life legends of music, entertainment, film and Wagnerian rock opera who tragically passed away during the pandemic: Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf. Steinman wrote "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" for his long-time collaborator, and it was originally recorded in 1993 - featuring on the album Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell. It was released in numerous forms - you'll be pleased to know ours is closest to the short radio edit - and all of them starred a powerful closing coda duet sung by Lorraine Crosby. It's an amazing collaboration for its energy, impact, mysterious meaning - enhanced by the magnificent gothic video featuring motorbikes, mansions, and floating sofas. And the whole track is built on the sensational presence and incredible voice of Meat Loaf, who broke the mold when it came to rock tenors and combining fierce passion with tongues in cheek, character, and a sense of humor.

Our adaptation is the best we could do to channel some of those vibes in our living room and turn the song into a topical parody that addresses the alarming 'cost of living' crisis that is hitting ordinary people around the world, facing rising costs and squeezes on incomes. It is intended in the spirit of tribute, humor, compassion, and solidarity - with hopes that we will get to the other side as soon as possible and with as little damage as possible. All we can do is try to crack on, and support others, starting perhaps with a smile, and a five-minute break from doom-scrolling or real-world hassle.

It was suggested that Trump should adopt some of the tactics being used by his opposition.  In addition to making promises that are aligned with his principles and beneficial to the American people, he might also consider making some bold, attention-grabbing promises. The opposition has made many promises that are unlikely to be fulfilled, and it’s clear that they remain committed to their broader political agenda. Alex Jones 2024-Sep-12 Thursday One proposal (mine) is that those found guilty of treason should be tried publicly, with the proceedings available for everyone to see, perhaps even broadcast on national networks or pay-per-view platforms like HBO, with the profits directed to help Americans who’ve suffered under recent policies. Additionally, what if Trump promised to eliminate all federal taxes? Has that been suggested yet? He already has some strong promises on the table, but adding another stimulus package could attract even more support, especially among those struggling

I WANT AN HONEST TRUTHFUL INQUISITIVE COMPETENT PRESIDENT! This is a call to ACTION! Thumbnail is a Giant Heart. Share Thumb up and Speak Up..this is our chance to get TRUTH...Post this everywhere on Truth Social and X etc...post about mudfossils EVERYWHERE. I am perplexed about the minds of people and belief systems. Some say Faith is all you need but faith in what? I say we start with the Truth about our past which will cause Academia distress because it shows them wrong on many levels so they will not let Mudfossils be seen in any Journals or Articles because the publishers would become the target of Academia...same as what happened to "Worlds in Collision" by Velikovsky. 11 weeks #1 on NY Times best seller list and Academics forced the publisher to recall the books.
