If We Could All Do Better After This Pandemic
Wouldn't it be incredible if all nations, the world over, took this event, this coronavirus pandemic as well as global warming and climate change, as a moment to give up war and all work together for the betterment of all people, all nations?
A guy can dream.
Be well. Be safe out there.
And stay at home.

Rest in Peace Joe Cocker
We loved your work. This was one of my personal favorite pieces of his (for what it's worth).

Entertainment Overnight --- The Cure does McCartney
I just learned this evening that there is a CD coming out soon--"The Art of McCartney."
That would be Paul McCartney, of course, of "The Beatles" fame as well as his own, solo career, with and now without his wife Linda. (She passed April 17, 1998).
I listened to some of the other pieces and found them pretty unremarkable. I found I didn't need to hear Alice Cooper sing "Eleanor Rigby", for instance. I'd hoped Willie Nelson singing "Yesterday" would be a revelation or fun or touching but it just wasn't there for me.
This one, however, The Cure singing "Hello Goodbye" was true to their own style as well as the song. I enjoyed it. Perhaps you will, too.
It is to be released November 18 but can, of course, be pre-ordered now. Google it, you'll find where you do that.

The Way to Israeli, Palestinian Peace
I think the only way there could or would be peace between Israel and the Palestinians is if the following things--four rather simple things--could and would happen and as soon as possible.
First, the Palestinians must stop firing mortars on Israel. They must also stop tunneling the area. Both, immediately and forever.
Second, Hamas and all Palestinians must recognize Israel and must formally recognize Israel's right to exist. Immediately. Permanently.
Tbird, Israel must withdraw from Gaza. Again, immediately.
Fourth and finally, Israel must stop its attacks on the Palestinians and must allow Palestinians to trade and function, naturally. Again, immediately and permanently.
Simple. Easy.
Not that simple and unfortunately, likely impossible. At least impossible until minds are opened and changed, anyway. Impossible until the desire for peace and intelligence trumps the desire for war, fighting and revenge, as we have now.
Would that this all already took place, a year ago, two years, three, ten.
It would be nice--great, in fact--if it took place today.
It could happen. It should. It won't, it seems.
Ah, well, we can dream, can't we?

The Gaza strip is now unlivable. For the sake of humanity, the international community must require Israel to end this disaster
