100 Days, 100 Nights

Listen while you read:  https://youtu.be/8ouI5KcyHfE

100 days, 100 nights to know a man's heart
100 days, 100 nights to know a man's heart
And a little more before he knows his own

You know a man can play the part of a saint just so long
For a day comes when his true, when his true self unfolds
Yes, it does

He may be mellow, he may be kind
Treat you good all the time
But there's something just beyond what he's told

~  Bosco Mann (Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings)

Sharon Jones died last November at age 60. "100 Days, 100 Nights," released in 2007, is arguably her most famous song. I selected it because today marks my 100th post on this blog. I'm patting myself on the back while pondering the realization that I have only 264 more to go. Hey, if I could fall in love with something and write about it every single day of the year (2015), I can surely find 364 songs to write about. Right? Hey, if you keep reading, I'll keep writing.

In twenty days, on April 29, we will mark 100 days of something else. All Presidents in recent history have been evaluated on their first 100 days. For eight decades, since FDR's Presidency, the first 100 days have been used to measure the successes and accomplishments of a President during his time of greatest power and influence. I am already considering songs for my April 29 post. Your suggestions are welcome.

Meanwhile, I have my own goals to accomplish. This blog is one of them. Enjoy your Sunday. I'm going to get to work on blogpost #101.
