With apologies to Peaches and Herb as I offer some good with the bad.
'United', a huge guilty pleasure of mine around the time of my high school graduation, debuted at #89 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending May 18, 1968. It shot up to #59 in its 2nd week but then struggled to reach its peak position of 46 during its 8-week run.
Well, Glenn Grothman, looks as though Donald Trump and Paul Ryan won't accompany Mr. Gumpy on his outing
Quoted in Rep. Glenn Grothman: Trump, Ryan Having 'Little Squabbles'. (Wisconsin Public Library, 10/19/2016)
From goodreads:
Mr. Gumpy, who lives by a river, takes his boat for a pleasure trip. Seeing him departing, two children ask to come along, and he responds mild-manneredly, "Yes, if you don't squabble." Then a rabbit requests a ride, which is granted on the condition that he not hop about; and a cat, dog, pig, sheep, chickens, calf and goat join the party, all agreeing to good behavior. But when they all forget themselves, the boat overturns, and everyone drips back to Mr. Gumpy's house for tea.
My older son loved this book. I read it to him dozens of times when he was a preschooler.
