    I listen to a satellite radio music channel in my car. It plays primarily stuff from the 70's but not pop-ish stuff. Rather tunes you would have heard on FM. The other day I was coming home from the grocery store and as I came into the driveway they played "We've Got Tonight," by Bob Seger. Oh my sweet Lord---for some reason it got me. I sat there in the driveway and cried my eyes out. (It's complicated.)

    Now THERE's a voice.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    I was on a call with my coworkers today and before we got down to the business at hand we were discussing music in cars (it was actually sort of the business at hand because it was a conversation about whether rental car places are responsible for wiping the infotainment systems of people’s cell phone data if they have linked the phone to the car and what the car retains. But it devolved when my boss stated that his car doesn’t have a modern infotainment system and I said that mine doesn’t either.). It got me thinking that the only cd player I own anymore is in my car so maybe I should carry around the notebooks of discs and listen to them instead of our mediocre npr station when I’m going places. That might be interesting since I haven’t listened to any of them except the ones I took to LA and left at my friend’s house.

    I recently discovered the full concert live at the Royal Albert Hall, "Concert for George", 2002 on uTube. It has a bunch of famous guys from the day, Clapton, Ringo, Sting, etc. What reminded me of it is Billy Preston's version of My Sweet Lord. I see where they have referred to him as the other Beatle. Not exactly tears to my eyes, but maybe a goosebump. He gets into it. It's pretty easy to search up the whole concert, but this is just Billy Preston.

    Apparently the Moody Blues made music videos back before that was common. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58mv...IG1vcm5pbmc%3D

    Today on the way home from the dentist in the city they were interviewing Barbara Kingsolver on the radio and one of the interesting things she said was that people younger than you don't really understand that you were once a kid, a teenager, a young adult, etc. The younger folks only think of you as what you are now, (an old person in most cases). And she's right. I never thought of my grandmother or my mother or my dad as once a young person until fairly recently, after they had died in the case of my parents. It was kind of a profound thought that she just tossed off as not a big deal.

    Love this song and all the contradictions it presents. Long ago, back when I was single, I had a VERY fun fling for a few months with an Israeli couple who were fans of this artist and song. I've long since lost touch with them. I have no idea what they think about current events.

    I don’t know Hebrew, but the comments on this video explain what it’s about. Interesting.

    Okay--last evening, I listened to. "Thank the lord for the night time" by Neil Diamond, and I realized that the part I liked most was the guitar part by a guy from Arkansas named Louie Sheldon. He lives in Australia, now. But yeah--Louie is also noted for guitar on the Monkees' "Last Train To Clarksville". Isn't that interesting?

    Anyone listened to the much publicized new/old Beatles song? It didn't impress me as anything close to any of their classics of any era. It was still sort of interesting to hear and not too bad.

    NPR featured it today and I heard part of the song. It was OK. It was Beatles.
