The New Rules...

Some folks are struggling with the new rules:

biology over politics
science over P.R.

scientific modeling over gaslighting

data over ideology

you can't spin your way out of a viral infection

the Loud Fat Man on our TV is delusional and will get more folks needlessly ill and stone-cold dead

it is time to tune that fucking toxic, know-nothing, narcissistic sociopath out, I mean, well past time...

facts (surprisingly) do matter

as my t-shirt from Bloodshot Records reminds me "Alt-Country, Not Alt-Facts!"

it pays to listen to folks who know what they are doing, those who listen to experts, those who make decisions based on science, data and facts

The a.m. soundtrack - The Trees - "On the Shore." (1970). British folk-rock. One of the great "lost" bands. We discovered them when our lead singer visited Vintage Vinyl. The Trees' music was on the sound system there, the Sony CD reissue 2007. The owner recommended the band, telling our lead singer that they reminded him of our band whitewolfsonicprincess. She ended up buying both of their studio albums. This is their second (and last) album. Beautiful. Haunting. A bit trippy, touches of prog-rock. Love the guitar interplay, the prominent acoustic guitars, backed by trippy electric guitars. A very different vibe from Fairport Convention. I love Celia Humphris voice; delicate, evocative. A great rare find. Yes, we should all "LISTEN TO THE TREES!"
