Trump gave his farewell speech, which all sane people welcomed:
Let's hope tomorrow's inauguration of Biden and Harris goes without a hitch.

Obituary: Singer Jimmie Rodgers, who scored a bunch of his in the 1960s, has died, his daughter announced. He died yesterday at the age of 87.
Rodgers was born on Sept. 18, 1933, in Camas, Wash., and learned to play piano and guitar as a boy. After completing one year of junior college, he joined the United States Air Force. His official biography states that in 1952, Rodgers was stationed in Korea supporting the front lines during the Korean War. While still in the military, he joined a band called the Melodies.
Once he was transferred to Seward Air Force Base in Smyrna, Tenn., he earned pocket money by singing in local clubs at night. It was then that he first learned the song “Honeycomb,” a 1954 hit written by Bob Merrill.
Following his military career he returned to his hometown and reunited with his childhood sweetheart, Colleen McClatchey, the first of his three marriages. (The couple had two children, including Michele.) Rodgers performed as a contestant on the Arthur Godfrey talent show and his appearance got the attention of Roulette Records, which released his recording of “Honeycomb” in 1957. The single reached #1 and ultimately became his theme song.
