  1. I don't think it's that simple, I wish it was. If someone is trying to throw a brick through my window just because, he's my enemy, regardless of where he was born. There are a lot more parts being played here than are being identified. There are bad policemen. There are good policemen. There are all flavors of politicians, good, bad, and inbetween. There are victims (George Floyd, his family, countless others who have come before). There are righteous, courageous, non-violent protestors. There are people "making the scene" (and that runs left and right, no persuasion gets a group pass), there are thugs, looters, and thieves taking advantage of the situation and destroying lives. There are provocateurs on both the left and the right. And there's the rest of us, left in various states of fear and vulnerability. Bricks are being thrown through windows a mile from my house. I hate what happened in front of the white house last night. I hate what happened to George Floyd. I also hate what happened to an immigrant family in Delaware I know, who had their lifelong business destroyed by looters. My wife and I are white. Our black daughter and black grandson live with us. I don't want to see a police state. I also don't want to see my community destroyed or my family harmed. And not much of anybody out there seems to give a damn about what I don't want at the moment.
  2. It is, but I've certainly heard much worse (this is not bootleg sound, just poorly recorded), and Criss's performance is incendiary.
  3. Beautiful late 60's folk rock, very akin to the first two Tim Buckley albums (and on the same label). Noonan's vocal style and compositional style are both hauntingly similar to Buckley's from that period. Contains four fine early Jackson Browne compositions. Also contains Noonan's version of the beautiful "Buy For Me The Rain" (he wrote it), much better known as the first semi-hit by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
  4. We are under curfew for the second night (of at least three) here in King of Prussia (Upper Merion Township), and looting has occurred within about a mile of my house. Peaceful protesting is one thing, and looting/vandalism is something very different, and identifying them as different is not a political statement or political opinion. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/curfew-to-be-in-effect-for-upper-merion-after-looters-target-king-of-prussia-mall/2414275/
  5. Love that cut by Shamie Royston, have never heard of her before. Want to hear the rest of the album before plunking down my hard earned $15.
  6. Andrew White, Ray Codrington, Walter Booker, Harry (father of Keith) Killgo, and Carl Newman, from 1961.
  7. They do have expiration dates. Mine is July 2023.
  8. Agreed. And they are very different from each other.
  9. Ours came as a debit card. I only knew to check it closely because I was tracking online when it would be sent to me. I just transferred the money to bank account today, hoping I did it right (assuming I did), will find out Monday or Tuesday.
  10. I basically agree with that and don't forget the "classical" stuff, which brings up the rear. 'Expectations' remains my favorite Jarrett album almost 50 years on.
  11. I have that problem with the local 3rd party Amazon last mile crew. When USPS does the last mile, it gets delivered correctly.
  12. Fair enough, though I sort of like Baker's singing, largely because he often chose good source material for it. With Adams, it always seemed to be a blues cliche/parody. Though I would dread the idea of him "singing" something "serious" (not that devil women and such don't seem serious at the time).
  13. I always mourned the wasted space on a 40 minute LP where he indulged in his vocal artistry. What could we have had instead?
  14. I believe Kelly played on some of Pharoah's Theresa albums. Not in position to confirm right now.
  15. I ordered in April and received it this past week. Tracking and status info available through the link on the order confirmation email
  16. both of them!
  17. It's a good read and beautifully illustrated.
