Keep the Fear at Bay.

"Sheltering at Home."

They say we need to brace for a new wave of Covid-19 cases. Doing our best to stay safe. Trying to keep the fear at bay.

That seems to be the order of the day. For the foreseeable future.

The a.m. soundtrack - Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"  (1974). A real odd-beast of a record. A double-CD. The last Genesis album with Peter Gabriel. As they say it's, "complicated & surreal." It's definitely quirky and weird. A concept album, the concept is elusive, out of reach. Lots of huffing and puffing. Little of it really connects. I always loved "Carpet Crawlers" a beautiful melody, but not sure what it is all about. Some of it does sound nice on the BOSE music player. The record seems like some grand metaphor for something else. A mystery record.
