Introduction The concept of this came to mind and thought it would be a fun thing to do before I disappear to Whitby. It also makes me feel a little like the Count from Sesame Street and then between him and Whitby, you start to think Dracula, or I do.

Separating the Art From the Artist. Top Story - October 2023.
Recently, Jann Wenner, the co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation member, released a book entitled “The Masters”. This book featured his interviews with rock legends who have become his friends. There is no arguing the influence the subjects of this book have had on Rock music. However, when questioned why there were no Blacks or women, his flippant, obnoxious, and frankly stupid response negated two demographics of rock 'n' roll's history as if they did not matter. He took his experience, privilege, and influence to brush off legends - whether he chose to acknowledge them or not - that built his career. It was an unfortunate reminder of how someone we hold in high regard can disappoint us in such a poignant and profound way.

Ornithology - A Playlist
Introduction I am listening to "Catching A Tiger" by Lissie, and probably my favorite song on this album "Cuckoo" and I will use it to close this playlist. It also made me think of this wonderful poignant poem by my great friend Les, who tells me that she can't write poetry, but check out all this wonderful poetry of hers, and this one in particular that relates to this playlist.
