cayugafalls's JournalFriday Night Funk Album Rock - Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Getaway
One of my favorite bands. I've been an ardent fan since the beginning and have all their albums. The Getaway is a mature and solid album but it is arguably not their best work (there are some gems), however, I wanted to expose DU to some later RHCP as I feel they have matured into one of the best Funk Rock bands out there.
The Getaway made its debut at number one in ten different countries while reaching number two in the band's home country of the United States along with the United Kingdom and Canada. The album received generally favorable reviews.
The album was preceded by the first single "Dark Necessities" on May 5, 2016.[5] "Go Robot" was released as the album's second single on September 8, 2016, peaking at number 12 on the Alternative Songs Chart, while "Sick Love" was released as the third single on December 4, 2016; however, it failed to chart. "Goodbye Angels" was released as the album's fourth and final single on April 4, 2017. The album's title track received radio airplay in the UK despite never being released as an official single.

Deep conversation between father & daughter
Lest we forget, this is not over. Two of my wife's co-workers passed due to COVID.
They work in India. Her team is global, with team mates all over the world working on the platform she supports and maintains.
Her colleagues in India are an integral part of the team. Their passing underscores how this pandemic has struck all of us around the globe. They were people, loved by family and friends and will be missed more than we can know.
India reported its highest daily death toll 4,187 people on Saturday, weeks into the world's worst wave of coronavirus cases that's leaving people without lifesaving hospital beds, oxygen and drugs.
In all, nearly 240,000 people in India are confirmed to have died from COVID-19, with reported infections topping 21 million.

But as bad as the government's official numbers are, they are almost certainly a vast undercount.

It is time we rethink the way we interact. Will we ever again have a world free to co-mingle without the need for caution? The asian countries have been the leader in wearing masks as preventive measure for transmission of disease.
I was in China and Hong Kong in 1998 and there were already numerous people wearing masks at that time. Were they prescient? What did they know? Was it just their intelligence telling them, 'hey, look, I live in a crowded city and I don't want to get sick" or was it something else? A knowledge of things to come.
We can't blame the orange anus for India's woes, but we can point to his toxic denial of the danger and say, 'That, right there, IS the problem".
The world has changed, time to accept the fact that we are not just poisoning the planet, we are poisoning ourselves.
It will not get better, until we get better. That leaves the question.
Will we get better?
I can only hope.

Saturday Night Jazz Album - John Coltrane - My Favorite Things - 1961
In 1960, Coltrane left Miles [Davis] and formed his own quartet to further explore modal playing, freer directions, and a growing Indian influence. They transformed "My Favorite Things", the cheerful populist song from 'The Sound of Music,' into a hypnotic eastern dervish dance. The recording was a hit and became Coltrane's most requested tuneand a bridge to broad public acceptance.
On March 3, 1998, Rhino Records reissued My Favorite Things as part of its Atlantic 50th Anniversary Jazz Gallery series. Included as bonus tracks were both sides of the "My Favorite Things" single, released as Atlantic 5012 in 1961
In 1998, the album received the Grammy Hall of Fame award.

Friday Night Album Rock - The Stooges - The Stooges - 1969
In retrospect, Will Hodgkinson called The Stooges "charged and brutal garage-rock", and Pitchfork critic Joe Tangari said it was one of the essential forerunners to the punk rock movement of the 1970s. It and the Stooges' next two albums were later deemed "proto-punk landmarks", according to Mojo journalist Manish Agarwal. Daryl Easlea, writing for BBC Music, called the album "rock at its most primordial. ... [the] album is the original punk rock rush on record, a long-held well-kept secret by those in the know." Mark Deming of AllMusic commented, "Part of the fun of The Stooges is, then as now, the band managed the difficult feat of sounding ahead of their time and entirely out of their time, all at once."
In 2003, the album was placed at number 185 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", maintaining the rating in its 2012 revised list,[20] and dropping to number 488 in its 2020 list. The magazine also included "1969" in their list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time". Robert Dimery, writing in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, said that the album was "a collection of brilliant curios, which were neither full-on garage rock, nor out-and-out dirge." In 2005, Q magazine placed "I Wanna Be Your Dog" at number 13 in its list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Tracks"
