Main Ingredient: Just Don't Want To Be Lonely

Modi and Trump: true thug love.

Hadn't heard Main Ingredient for years. Beautiful song.

Duncan,

Trump and Modi. Irredeemable as human life on this suffering planet may have come to seem, still one can't help thinking things might have had a chance to come up just that little bit better, were the two of them not on it.

Thanks for the good word about Main Ingredient. There were once these pleasures.
