as the "Ides of March."

Cool here to say, before I became interested in “ancient” history “The Ides of March” to me meant the Chicago based rock band of the late 60’s, early 70’s! Their hit song “Vehicle” reached #2 on the Billboard chart and today still remains one of my favorites. Further commenting on the other “Ides”, if you happen to be dinning out today and you happen to order a “Caesar” salad…..I’D(es) make sure there were no sharp knives laying around on your table!
