Check out what the Loony Lefties at Rolling Stone magazine consider to be the top ten Best Songs of All Time. Some of those choices are just absurd. So BLM. So woke. So joke.

So off topic, irrelevant and offensive. A troll has to troll.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Check out what the Loony Lefties at Rolling Stone magazine consider to be the top ten Best Songs of All Time. I spent quite a bit of time searching there for "the top ten Best Songs of All Time", without finding it. It's probably there somewhere, but I couldn't find it. That said, the David Lindley subthread must now end, UNLESS it specifically has something to do and only do with David Lindley. I'd still like to see your definition of "Woke", BUT NOT IN THIS TOPIC. Official "you've been warned message". Violate at risk of being suspended. AdminnemooseusOr something like that©.

Willis Reed Jr. (June 25, 1942 – March 21, 2023) was an American professional basketball player, coach, and general manager. He spent his entire professional playing career (1964–1974) with the New York Knicks. In 1982, Reed was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. In 1996, he was voted one of the "50 Greatest Players in NBA History". In October 2021, Reed was again honored as one of the league's greatest players of all-time by being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.
After retiring as a player, Reed served as assistant and head coach with several teams for nearly a decade, then was promoted to general manager and vice president of basketball operations (1989–1996) for the New Jersey Nets. As senior vice president of basketball operations, he helped to lead them to the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003. Willis Reed - Wikipedia The part a few of us at rec.sport.basketball-pro talked about was the 1970 Championship, when Reed came out of the lockerroom,hobbled by injuries, and defeated the Lakers who had Wilt Chamberlain by then and still had Jerry West. As wikipedia has it, Reed's most famous performance happened on May 8, 1970, in game seven of the 1970 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers in Madison Square Garden.[12] Due to a severe thigh injury, a torn muscle that had previously kept him out of game six, he was considered unlikely to play in game seven. However Reed surprised the fans by walking onto the court during warmups, prompting widespread applause. Starting the game, he scored the Knicks' first two field goals on his first two shot attempts, his only points of the game. After the game in the winner's locker room, a moved Howard Cosell told Reed on national television, "You exemplify the very best that the human spirit can offer."["I'm the Grim Reaper now, Mitch.
