OK, so everyone knows that the refrain to the 1974 Creedence Clearwater Revival hit song &#8220;Bad Moon Rising&#8221; has been misinterpreted by countless of listeners as &#8220;There&#8217;s a Bathroom on the Right&#8221;.  But I got another part of that song wrong: toward the middle, John Fogerty sings &#8220;I hear the voice of rage and ruin&#8221;.  Given Fogerty&#8217;s famous slur, I used to hear something like &#8220;I hear the voice, the rain of ruin&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Little did I know that the phrase &#8220;rain of ruin&#8221; was used by President Harry Truman in a speech following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan in 1945.  Truman said that if Japan didn&#8217;t immediately surrender, there would be a such an atomic rain on its land.   <\/p>\n<p>Maybe my misinterpreted line would have been more appropriate.  Truman&#8217;s voice, and a bad mushroom cloud rising, indeed.<\/p>\n<p>ON THE FENCE: A BLUES MEMORY.  Here&#8217;s a spray paint tribute to the Blues Brothers, Jake and Elwood, which recently appeared on a fence along Route 3 in Clifton (NJ).  The fence slats almost look like prison bars &#8211; which goes with their persona quite nicely.  Rest in peace, Mr. Belushi.  Glad to know that there are still people out there like me who remember those fun days.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jimgworld.com\/beta\/bbros.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MISHEARD LYRICS: BAD MOON RISING.
