For me there is no finer, more perfect, more impactful album than by the great and today is his earthstrong. Gone way too soon but we will always have his masterpiece.

Happy spring, everyone! I've been recovering from a February car accident that put me in the trauma ward. An elderly man gunned his car into rush hour traffic and t-boned me. My car was totaled and I had life-threatening injuries, but I'm healing and getting back to a more regular writing schedule now. He and his passengers are okay, in case you were wondering. I don't like when my real life has more drama than the fiction worlds I write.

One of Bobbye Hall's most iconic moments is on the track, Inner City Blues. Bobbye's congas are up front in the mix, and drenched in reverb. Sounds like she's also hanging back in the pocket. Pure musical alchemy that makes this a magic moment on an already superb album. That's what Bobbye Hall does.

Iran's quarterly report on uranium enrichment is a hot mess - restrictions on inspectors and shady explanations for 83.7% purity levels? IAEA ain't buying it and Israel is getting antsy.

So what's with these high flying balloons and other scary things? What's really happening?

My overactive author's mind has dreamt you a number of story lines, many sinister, most dystopian.

Great Albums - 1970s, No. 2: (1971). Gaye felt a need to deepen his music with more overtly political content and declare his commitment to humanity through his music. Berry Gordy was initially dismissive, but after the single shifted 200,000 units of a gonzo release by Motown staffers, the album got the go-ahead. The result codified the links between ‘70s soul music and social activism. A genuine work of art.

Too insane for words that this is still as topical now as when Gaye wrote 'What's Going On?', fifty years ago:

'Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying'

Ah, we have got to that's better
Also, unexpected customer conversation in which he knew - he has a teenage son so I'm guessing that's how he'd watched their film.
