Donald Trump and Sean Spicer take their hypnosis road show to Nashville

It looks something like this, I imagine.



In One Rocky Week, Trump’s Self-Inflicted Chaos on Vivid Display.   (The New York Times, 3/18/2017)

Indeed, in Nashville on Wednesday night, Mr. Trump spoke to a rapturous crowd of almost 10,000 people and his embattled spokesman, Sean Spicer, was greeted as a star by awe-struck supporters, who spent several minutes crowding around him to take pictures and pat him on the back. But in Washington, some Republican lawmakers and officials have watched in dismay and frustration, they say privately, because the president they are looking to for cover and salesmanship of the health care overhaul keeps getting sidetracked.

Their 10th album, Mystery to Me, debuted on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart for the week ending November 17, 1973.  It charted 26 weeks, peaking at #67.   It was certified gold -- sales of 500,000 units -- in 1976.

The popularity of 'Russell' is graphed here.  Time for a doubleheader.

'Norman' was a steady performer during the 1st half of the 20th century, always charting in the top 100.  Peak years:  1931-1933 at #37.  After that, he went into an increasingly steep decline.

'Bertha' opened the 1900s at her peak (#16), remained in the top 100 through 1930, then tumbled out of view after 1985

Milwaukee County voters on April 4 to weigh in on $60 wheel tax.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/20/2017)

While no county officials are predicting — at least publicly — that the proposal will gain approval of a majority of county voters, a few elected officials speaking Monday at a panel on the wheel tax suggested it would be difficult politically to approve boosting the fee to $60 in the face of a majority no vote.
