I think we could all do with a bit of Brain Salad Surgery (whatever it is)

“Some guy who obviously didn’t recognise me said, ‘You just ruined a classic song.’ But another chap replied, ‘He’s allowed. He wrote the song!’”: Keith Emerson’s disastrous karaoke incident

I was just reminded of a lovely old song whose title might offer a cure for some of the word salad and 'brain salad' so ever-present in our daily news and especially the utterances of some people in high places.
Step right up, MTG... Step right up #GQP politicians...
(I'll leave it at that; some of our more virulent brain-salad examples in U.S. Congress. I'm sure other countries have their own crazies.)
So here's one option. A wonderful song actually, by the great Emerson, Lake, & Palmer:
Brain-salad surgery

Why I like travel... (learning/history)
Prince Eugene and his Palaces - Pt 1/2
This Prince had many enviable palaces and bought this bit of princely property on the hill, envisioning fa proper Venetian summer palace after buying some prime land in the early 1700's. The construction of this here began in 1712. By 5 years later, the Prince had paid dearly to buy out a would-be neighbor in his gardens, and he nevertheless persevered and also built his masterpiece.
And then, fast forward to the Roaring (17)20's, and the original (Lower) Belvedere palace became the little twin brother of that awesome castle of castles, the Upper Belvedere.
Sadly, weather & time, etc., didn't give me that classic water pond reflection in front of the Upper Belvedere. But I did get one or two okay shots of that palace, which indeed is King of the Hill now. To be honest I was imagining, given the heat there in Summer '22, I might find a dried up pond, after hearing of entire rivers being dehydrated in nearby Germany. So, maybe a lower level? But it's there!
So Prince Eugene died without any heirs nor any will, and long story short, Welcome to Wien. Some great builders and artists & ... royalty. (not to mention landscape nee property)
Lucky Man....

While I found no whistling ducks this time (too dry), I did come across a few things I wasn't expecting, from gator babies to cormorants, armadillo, hawks, and some ibises that walked along with with me, despite my lecturing them to stay away from the road.
So as I was thinking "you can't always get what you want", I did still feel lucky...
And once back in the car, this song came on the radio... (no, not the Stones). More music gods i-Ching.
Lucky Man
A good recording/stream here of a song which shattered precedent, and maybe some windows, with this ground-breaking Moog synthesizer from Keith Emerson. Lucky to have been around for this period of music, too.
