Let's see if I can remember this from high school.
In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar the emperor is warned, "Beware the ides of March."
Apparently, the "ides of March" is the 15th, when there's (supposedly) an equal amount of daylight and darkness, meaning good and evil have the same amount of time in the day.
Or that's how I remember it from high school.
So why we weren't supposed to beware of the ides of September, when theoretically the same thing happens, is beyond me. Other, I guess, than the fact that Caesar wasn't killed in September.
So along comes a band, and they name themselves "The Ides of March." Their biggest hit was "Vehicle," although they did have other singles.
So I guess our vehicles need to beware the Ides of March today.
The Ides Of March singing their only hit song Vehicle in 1970. Music in stereo.

Maybe that's why Lily (my cat) is being all talkative today. She's warning me.

All I remember is that the Ides of March did not end well for Caesar.

Not familiar with the band. But what I know about the ides of March is the time when Julius Caesar was murdered by his own senators at a meeting. Reportedly, Caesar was handed a warning note as he entered the senate meeting that day but did not read it. After he entered the hall, Caesar was surrounded by senators holding daggers.
