Didn't she "do it" with our Governor, back when he was just Moombeam?
No, that was the other dark haired singer.
The Gov vetoed the California (Ha Ha Ha Ha) budget today. Cut it some more, he said.
This state, once a beautiful place that was "peopled" by rugged individualists who didn't take any crap... even carved out their own countries within the borders... And if Pearl Harbor hadn't ACCIDENTALLY come along, the new State of Jefferson may have made it. It was very close in 1940. Part of Oregon and a lot of Northern Cali would be Jefferson now.
And what State had it's own shooting war in the early 1900's. You guessed it, the famous wholesale theft and destruction of Lake Owens and the beautiful Owens Valley to glom that water for Hollywood and West. Drive down the famous (infamous) streets and you'll see the names of those who hired goons to shoot farmers in Owens Valley. One problem. A lot of those guys were vets of WW1 and gasp, they had guns.
For a while it was farmers 8, goons 3, but new goons arrived in LA and headed for the trenches.
Money won out, and billions were made with the water that was ripped off.
Oh yes, Real Men and Real Women hammered out this once terrific state.
but then, I'm an emotional Irishman.
As long as you are "nostalging", click on some Creedence Clearwater and wail.
