"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.

Cool Irish Band Fontaines D.C. Release Cool, New Song: "Jackie Down The Line"
Irish rock band Fontaines D.C. (I'm guessing the "D.C." stands for "Dublin City") got a lot of attention with the song "Big" and their first two blistering punk-oriented albums. We also liked their Velvet Underground cover, "European Son" on last year's Velvet tribute I'll Be Your Mirror. Now there's a new album Skinty Fiacoming out (April 22/Partisan).
The tracklisting for the new album reveals two songs with Irish language titles, and another "Bloomsday", presumably about Irish singer/guitarist/writer James Joyce.

The band is also embarking on a very ambitious tour of Europe, North America, and Australia starting in February 2022. (More ticket information is available on the band's website here. Note: Dates are in the format of DAY/MONTH/YEAR):
