Problems Don't Go Away When the Calendar Changes

 

There are problems in this world that just won't go away as we completed 2024 and are now in 2025.  There were terrible terrorist attacks in previous years and now we see situations in New Orleans and Las Vegas. We hear daily of shootings, stabbings, and assaults.  There are continuing problems in our local and federal governments:

• I have lost confidence in our mayor as he has been indicted on several series charges and several of his commissioners resigned while some were also indicted.  He is scheduled to go on trial in April.  What will happen if he is convicted?
• Our government is based on a systems of checks and balances among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.  Will Donald Trump respect that or will he become a quasi-dictator?  Will there be turmoil in his second term?
• There are terrible wars in Israel and Ukraine.  I don't believe that Donald Trump will end these conflicts.  Both have been going on much too long.

Prayers for the future of our city and country.

It is 500 Years Until the Year 2525

 

In the Year 2525 was a hit by Zager and Evans in 1969,  It hit #1 on the Billboard Chart, but the group never charted again.  According to Top Pop by Joel Whitburn they had a very minor hit later in 1969 called Mr. Turnkey that only reached #106.

Question - are they any One Hit Wonder Act when their only hit topped the charts?
