Re: If

{ sigh } It's only step 1 of Biden being out. He needs to take step 2 of resigning. Logically it follows. Now that he knows there is a definite end to his presidency that makes it more likely he will resign. That'll never happen. He was barely convinced to drop out, meaning he at long last agreed t...

Re: If

So far this is the only current video I've been able to locate of them doing covers.

It's a medley which demonstrates all the excellent vocalists they have in the band. And, their musicianship.
