Odds And Ends -- May 31, 2023

Locator: 44805STRM. 

Overheard at Starbucks this a.m.:

• "I don't know who's more tone-deaf? Bud Lite or Target?"
• A MAGA Republican: "Here, hold my beer."

Hulu:

There are days -- generally every day, now that I feel strongly I don't need Hulu, currently running about $81 / month. Amazon's Prime Video meets all my needs; it's all I watch any more, with one exception -- live sports. And live sports I get through Hulu.

I can watch this over and over, on Amazon Prime Video, "The Sound of 007." Wow, so great on so many levels. 

I cannot pick out my favorite. But this is either #1 or tied for #1. "Nobody Does It Better" might be tied for #1. But then I hear another and I have to add another #1.

The interesting thing: the song / writer / artist that becomes a "Bond song" is in the Pantheon of Bond" and I don't think there's any other franchise that has its own Pantheon.

The only thing for which I need Hulu: live sports. I canceled my subscription to Apple+ -- it simply was not offering me anything in which I was interested.
