"I'm Just A Bill" debuted on this date in 1976.

The SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK classic was written by Dave Frishberg and performed by Jack Sheldon (with Sheldon's son John as the voice of the boy).

All the #SchoolHouseRock shorts are on Internet Archive, relics of a simpler time:

Tomorrow's the big day ~ SPRING! I know it doesn't feel very Spring-y but the sun will return, promise.
I also promise you'll love Blossom Dearie's "They Say It's Spring"; she debuted it in 1958. By Marty Clark (#lyric) & Bob Haymes (#music), it's got this ten bar refrain that's just the bee's knees. I'm determined to cover it (in my key), make it last six minutes LOL

This week featured vastly less travel than last week, but it also afforded me the rare experience of hearing an executive-branch appointee burst into song. And at the end of it, I carved out some time to write a post for Patreon readers about how certain PR pitches come with either a request or a stipulation that I cover the subject for a particular outlet.

4/23/2024: T-Mobile Adds New Fixed Wireless Plans: One for Home, One for the Road, PCMag

Of all of T-Mobile’s announcements Tuesday, the unlimited-data version of its new Away fixed-wireless plan was easily the most interesting.

4/23/2024: FTC Votes to Ban Non-Compete Clauses, PCMag

I wrote an update to the post I’d filed more than a year earlier when the Federal Trade Commission had started this rule-making process, explaining the particulars of the new FTC rule and noting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s plans to sue to overturn this ban.

4/25/2024: Feds Try Breaking Out Into Song to Get People to Take Ransomware Seriously, PCMag

I spent Wednesday at a conference in Washington hosted by the Institute for Security and Technology, then wrote this recap Thursday that led off with Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency director Jen Easterly singing a bit from an upcoming remake of Schoolhouse Rock’s “I’m Just A Bill.”

4/27/2024: Ep 99 SmartTechCheck Podcast – TikTok, smartphones and children, FCC broadband labels mandate, Mark Vena

I joined my tech-analyst friend’s podcast to discuss the new law requiring TikTok owner ByteDance to sell that social platform, the FCC’s broadband-labels regulation, how harmful smartphones might be to kids, and other tech topics.

Updated 5/5/2024 to add a link to the Patreon post.

This week's lyrical challenge is an EDUCATIONAL SONG! 🎓

Just because a song is written to help you learn something doesn’t mean it can’t be fun, too! Examples: “The Elements” (Tom Lehrer), “James K. Polk” (They Might Be Giants), “NaCL” (Anna & Kate McGarrigle), anything from Schoolhouse Rock!

this interview makes my Gen-X soul deeply, DEEPLY nostalgic. I could listen to Bob Dorough, who wrote and sang many of them, talk all day.

50 Years Of 'Schoolhouse Rock' : Fresh Air https://www.npr.org/2023/02/07/1155063708/50-years-of-schoolhouse-rock

I'm a sucker for "Schoolhouse Rock!". Grew up with it as part of a delicious breakfast. Tonight ABC airs a 50th Anniversary Singalong Celebration special like network specials of yore. Looks goofy as hell. But I'll add it to the YouTube TV library anyway. 📺 8/7c on ABC and Stream Next Day on Hulu.

sadly the building with this cool #SchoolHouseRock mural has been demolished to make way for yet another massive luxury highrise in #LIC. #Gentrification in #Queens is out of control. #NYC needs affordable housing! #ConjunctionJunction has apparently lost its function.
