Reblogging About Executive Order 9066
Reblogging: December 8, 1980 – John Lennon
I decided to reblog last year’s post; this day has been difficult for me for 43 years now.
Rest in Power, Denny Laine …
Denny Laine, who was a founding member of both the Moody Blues and Wings, passed away this morning at age 79 due to insterstitial lung disease brought on by Covid-19.
His voice is another piece of my youth. My best gal-pal and I both loved Wings, and she had an enormous crush on Denny. We both contributed to the GoFundMe for his hospital bills, since Denny (like so many professional musicians) had no health insurance. One of the saddest things I’ve ever done was send her the text this morning to let her know he was gone.
Here is a selection of my favorites among his songs.
Music Monday: “Fox on the Run”
I’ve been thinking a lot about the bands I enjoyed in my younger days. Many of them are on the nostalgia circuit nowadays, including this group. Here’s The Sweet doing “Fox on the Run” this immediate past October.
