Just Some Interesting Stuff.
1. SON DALEY OUTSERVES OLD MAN-- Yesterday, Chicago's Mayor Richard M. Daley passed his father, the Honorable Richard J. Daley, in terms of days served as mayor of the city. That's hard to believe. When asked whether father or son would be regarded as Chicago's greatest mayor, the son said his father.
Of course, it took his father's dying to get him out of office. Son is voluntarily leaving one of the worst messes Chicago has ever been on. Let his successor sort it out.
2. TEENA MARIE DIES-- Dead at age 54. Best-known for her great sing "Lovergirl," one of my favorites. She is one of the few white artists to do well on black charts like R&B. Black artists regularly are on pop/white charts. Sure makes you wonder who is racist and who is not.
3. QUEEN OF SOUL-- I was very sad to hear the news that the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, has a very bad form of cancer and probably won't be with us a lot longer. She recorded some of the best songs ever like "Think," "Respect" and "Chains."

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
