Day #24 of the 30 Day Song Challenge

Day 24 of the 30 Day Song Challenge - a song by a band that you wish were still together..

There so many. I guess the operative bit would be that it's impossible for them to get back together? Also, some bands really seemed to be more about the front man than anything else. And had run their course - I may miss them, but I'm not sure there's much juice left.

People have already posted a lot of songs by The Who, who I adore. I actually met Roger Daltry during a marketing event. And got to see him reunite with a manager or band player he had a major falling out with. I also got a lot of inside intell on the Who by their friend and marketing manager rep, Martin Lewis. I don't remember any of it, by the way. And I found him less impressive in person. Actually the only member of The Who that impresses me is Eric Clapton, who created even better music post Who.

Feel somewhat the same way about the Runaways and the Doors. I thought about the Doors - but really that was just Jim Morrison.

Okay enough of that.

I'm going with...a band that I felt everyone gelled perfectly together and was insanely versatile - as this song proves.

And..mainly because it's a happy tune and makes me smile, and I kind of want to smile at the moment. Whether it really fits the rules of the meme or not? Eh. I'll let you decide.

My poor little country is bleeding...(okay maybe not so little..but still)

2. Mother told me about her close friends, who they've know for about twenty years now. Both staunch Republicans. (My parents are liberal and Democrat in a conservative southern State.). Her friend has had COVID-19 for over 31 days now. ( Read more... )

3. Delta Airlines Has Barred About 240 People From Flying For Not Wearing Masks

I had a long discussion with Jay today about this. Her son is a flight attendant for the airlines and is taking a voluntary leave of absence for as long as possible. She told me that Delta wasn't taking any risks and being hardcore. Delta flew back to the gate and kicked off a family of five for not wearing masks. They kicked off a woman whose two year old wouldn't wear a mask on the plane.

4. This is just heartbreaking... Hurricane Laura Slammed into the Pandemic in Lousiana and Texas last night.

That just hurts my heart. I'm thinking of all those poor people in Lake Charles and New Orleans, terrified of the pandemic, being forced to evacuate and losing their homes.

Frigging 2020. My poor country, sweet land of liberty, is bleeding.

5.Good news? Or Bad News? Hard to tell

Downstream vaccines

I don't know. I've watched enough sci-fi in my life-time to know better than to grab the first vaccine that comes out of the gate.
