Diversification,The Key To Happiness?

If I stop enjoying certain entertainers, because of their political views, I ain't gonna have much to enjoy on TV, movies, radio, or nuttin' honey!

I'd be such a hypocrite, as well. 

Over the years my favorites have been, Joni Mitchell, John Lennon, Richie Havens and liberal souls like them. 

A lot of my supremely talented YouTube friends have political views totally opposite of mine. 

Take the famous composers of long ago, like Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach. I really don't know, or care about their political views. I just love listening to their glorious music!

Looks like two republicans and one democrat.

Shouldn't music transcend less important things, like who we're gonna vote for, who we're not gonna vote for, and the price of eggs? Sure it should!

What's that got to do with the price of eggs? A rhetorical question calling attention to a non-sequitur or irrelevant statement or suggestion made by another person. Primarily heard in US.

By the way, I really don't have time to search out the political views of Steve Martin, Martin Short, or Howie Long, before I watch them in a movie!

What's important to me is the CHARACTER they portray!  If they are good guys in the movie, I approve of them. If they are bad guys, I disapprove, until they play good guys in another movie. 















That's why I always like animals in movies. They are, almost, ALWAYS good (the Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp weren't, but that's a rare exception), and animals never have a political agenda!

I'm too old to pick and choose who's on my side, politically, before I enjoy their performances. In fact, sometimes I don't even know what side I'M on, when folks on my side act CRAZY TOWN!

Why am I bringing this up? It's because..uh..it is..I DON'T KNOW why I'm bringing it up, but if we limit our kaleidoscope of colorful brain receptors to a few sources of audio and visual stimulators, we will miss out on a bunch of cool stuff, by golly!

Remember this cheer: 

If you're feelin' old and dry,
Why don't you diversify,
Lawrence Welk  may be your style,
But put Foo Fighters in your file.

Diversify, diversify...that's the thing to do,
Don't worry if they're Christian...Muslim, or a Jew,
Don't worry if friends judge you,
And punch you in the eye,
Tell 'em some nut told you,
To please diversify!!
