“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." #goodtrouble

Trump and Kristi Noem are killing the dogs. They are killing the cats.

If you can find the who series it is an amazing vein of music educational. In the 90s George Martin did a series on rhythm, harmony, and melody.
This is my favorite scene, George Martin remixing “God Only Knows” and Brian Wilson having a eureka moment.

it's Keith Jarrett's birthday. unplug yourself from the timeline long enough to play Bremen/Lausanne or the Japanese solo shows from '76 or Bregenz/Munich '81 or the Carnegie Hall show. Just hit play and close your eyes long enough to get inside the music. You will be glad you did.
