I think Sheik Yerbouti and Joe’s Garage have won many converts over the years and the Lather triple album has some amazing stuff on it x

No single US news source is consumed by more than 25% of Americans, whereas 60% of Brits regularly watch/read/listen to the BBC.

A single shared source of truth makes it harder for partisan echo chambers to form, or for divisive narratives to dominate. It’s good for social cohesion and compromise.

Without A Net gives a great account of their later sound and Europe 72 of an earlier style. Enjoy!! x

How lovely! If you have Spotify I’d start with a live album: Cornell 5/8/77 i rarely play their studio albums as Dead’s live recordings sound astonishing thanks to Owsley. I like a lot of their live shows from 72, 74 and the late 70s when sadly drugs got Jerry’s voice but not his guitar. Enjoy x

Meanwhile in Massachusetts...
Massachusetts introduced a wealth tax in 2023

They raised $5.7B for public services

Despite the wealth tax, the number of millionaires increased by 40% 🤷

Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax'
Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.
