Music Monday – “Thought I was alone in the world/Until my memories gathered ’round me in the night/Thought I was strong/Until I finally had to fight”

Jason Isbell, one of the greatest living songwriters today, did a free concert to promote the release of his new album, “Reunions”, and though lots of artists are doing live streams from their living rooms and their music rooms and so on, this might be the first one I’ve seen that’s tried to re-create much […]

QuaranTrim? Cutvid-19? Haired Immunity?

What’s The *Worst* That Could Happen In The World Due To Covid? (Revised)
