OT: The 500th Part C

[wire chief]

19..What a scorpion does describes the man
Who sings of a flower up from the sand.

20..Crying and trembling marks this group on the stump.
Claiming we have ambitions even greater than Trump.

21..At various times, the blue-eyed fella ain't too choosy,
As he recounts the ages he cavorted with floozies.

22..They all come from the middleist of states.
Wealth won't cut a minute from our fates.

23..She wants to appear in your sleep.
Estrangement from Dads cuts deep.

24..Ordinary folk he claims to be,
But sneaky could be the name we see.

25..He chose to expose himself to lousy weather.
Now to a Paris grave he is tethered.

We are a week away from the selection show. I won't close this up as rapidly as usual.

21..At various times, the blue-eyed fella ain't too choosy,
As he recounts the ages he cavorted with floozies.
And to hear Rat Pack Frankie tell it his way,
"A Very Good Year" was how he felt every day.

20. It is rumored that the Rolling Stones will play a concert in Cuba
Land of the Mambo, Salsa, and Samba
25. Jim Morrison fronted a very gifted band, now his legend archs triumphantly
Forever lighting a fire near the spires of the Eifel Tower.

20..I don't mind VAUC's use of free verse,
and I suppose his linkage could be worse.
But the crying and trembling means Tears for Fears
Complete the song, and you get my cheers.

21..JR picks Sinatra in his limousine.
So here JR gets away clean.

25..VAUC here cites the man of the early death.
Please mention the song and we have full breadth.

19.
What a scorpion does describes the man
Who sings of a flower up from the sand.
Felt the Sting of a "Desert Rose"
Whose pungent scent tickled the nose
(thanks for the tip)

22.
They all come from the middleist of states.
Wealth won't cut a minute from our fates.
"Blowing in the Wind" is what we always do
When tornados hit Kansas and make us all feel blue.

Lassie here posits an unknown tie of Kansas and Dylan.
Until she changes one word, I'll just be here chillin'.

Got two songs mixed up -- should be "Dust in the Wind"
