Have it all worked out

To gain significant advantage or make one's way through the world by exploiting social dynamics, state institutions and weaponising the law (usually to the detriment of moral but naive others).

Cindy: "I'm so over my farting, snoring husband, but I need him. How about you?"
Jelissa: "Well I have no problems. I lined up a guy via Internet dating from the other side of the world, he knocked me up so I could have my baby and he's out of sight, out of mind. He pays me child support off the record out of guilt, and I get special single mother benefits. Then I married Enrique, but divorced him after four years for a payout and alimony. These days I just do what I want!"
Cindy: "Wow, you have it all worked out, don't you?"

All Those Years Ago

A hit for George Harrison in early 1981. Its lyrics were rewritten shortly after fellow Beatle John Lennon was murdered on December 8, 1980. It has fellow Beatles Paul McCartney on bass and Ringo Starr on drums. Technically, it's a 'Threetles' song since it has the three surviving Beatles on it. But since George wrote it, it's on his solo album 'Somewhere in England' and he sang lead on it and played guitar - it's considered to be a George Harrison solo song. Collaborations between the fellow Beatles on each others' solo albums are pretty common and continue to this very day. The video shows clips from Beatles movies.

'All Those Years Ago' is a tribute to the late John Lennon. It went to #2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart and it scored significantly elsewhere. At the same time there were other tributes to John and the Beatles. The Dutch studio group STARS ON 45 had a Number One hit all over the world with a dance medley of mostly Beatles covers (it even made it in Communist East Germany, imagine that!). The influential Roxy Music scored their only Number One with their cover of Lennon's 'Jealous Guy'. Lennon's 'Imagine' hit the top in the UK. Lennon himself hit Number One posthumously. There would be other 'tribute' songs by Elton John, fellow Beatle Paul, Pink Floyd, and others during the next few years.

The war to end all wars

many think this name is slightly ironic considering the great war is reponsable for most current wars but it is true that this war changed the populair view of war from heroic and noble to violent, traumatic and violent and thus in the long run may end the practice forever

The war to end all wars is a very fancy word for the great war
