I wore the grooves off Spirit's "12 Dreams..."
Feels relevant today. 1970 was the first Earth Day.

I love when great musicians dig into the past and put these great tunes back out again. Even if it was a TV theme. Scotty Anderson covers 'The Perry Mason Theme' (TV series, 1957 - 1966 was a staple on American tv)

'Ramble On' is a tune that takes me back to my youth. It's the quintessential Led Zeppelin tune. No one in 1969 was doing what they were doing. That dreamy intro building to the rockin' chorus and back again. It just lifted me then and I recently discovered it again. One of my favorite tunes.

I discovered this musical gem 'A bit of Afters' at the end of the film "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel", composed by Thomas Newman. Often when I hear a nice piece of music in a film, Newman was the composer. The video is from the travels of a couple in India not associated with the film.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."
