Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Don’t worry, baby / It goes right through me / I’m like the wind and my anger will disperse / Thin persecutors / Your twisted whispers / A horned reptile that is crawled upon the earth
I went for my usual walk / Just tell it like it is / Tell it like it was / Judge and jury, executioner / Judge and jury, executioner / Judge and jury
When darkness follows / And no tomorrows / It’s all been decided / All spies deceptive / All bouncing voices down the echo chamber / Don’t worry, baby / It goes right through me
This week was stressful. Looming over my shoulder was a summons for jury duty on Monday. Add to the mix a second wave of COVID and the continuing frustration with the social and political realities of living in a divided USA in 2020.
Along with real social unrest, it appears 40% of Americans are simply just complete idiots. Or maybe as a people Americans can’t help themselves from acting as such. The good news is things are getting so serious, there is hope that the 60% of us will hang on and make real change to save our herd. Shout out to the generals and judges for speaking out.
So, with going to court in mind, I dug through crates and created this week’s Idelic Hour playlist. Like my mood this week, the song ideas seemed to come from all over the place. Bowie, Stones, Motown, 1968 and a few excellent new releases from Idles, Porridge Radio, Crickets, and a cool offbeat British pop singer named Huxlxy.
Late breaking news! Court canceled for next week! Hooray and relief.
Stay safe, connected and compassionate.
The Idelic Single of the Week: Huxlxy – THIS IS WAR
