"So, let us not be blind to our differences - but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal." JFK, June 10, 1963.

Manassas Manassas
Blind Blake Collected Works (1926 - 1932)
Eric Clapton Happy, Happy Birthday Eric (bootleg) feat Bob Dylan, Jesse Ed Davis, Billy Preston, Ron Woods, The Band. I hate that Clapton's a racist, especially after all the Black musicians he learned from over the years. And now he joins Van Morrison and Morrissey with COVID denial. I'm tempted to simply not discuss these artists here, but this bootleg is amazing.
