Something for the weekend. Fly Me to the Moon seems appropriate as Artemis II returns to the Earth from the Moon, splashdown is at 8:07 p.m. EDT today, April 10. Written in 1954 by Bart Howard, and originally entitled In Other Words, it was first sung by Kaye Ballard who passed away in 2019 at age 93. The most famous rendition was that by Frank Sinatra in 1964.
Sing it, Frank. Makes me start dancing immediately.
I’m an 80s kid. Graduated H.S. in 1990. So there’s a ton of 80s pop/rock music that I like, a lot.
That said, I agree with Allan Bloom that pop music went to hell sometime between the Beetles and the Rolling Stones and ever since has been burrowing deeper into the circles of Hell.
All that majesty and precision and then the phones don’t work after splashdown??
The crew seemed exasperated with the question from Mission Control in Houston if they were “pushing the PTT button”.
