Just a reminder folks. Here lies our planet's hope. While Rome burns and the Madness of King Orange wipes his arse with the U.S. Constitution, as does his ilk, we are reminded by these two, and others, to Keep Hope Alive. Slava Democracy!

At a Hands Off rally on Capitol Hill, former Social Security Commissioner Martin O'Malley slams the Trump regime for their gargantuan lies about Social Security:

"We have to put the brakes on Elon Musk and Donald Trump trying to wreck its reputation and wreck its customer service so they can…
A BlueSky kind of post. A 'just beautiful' Steve Hackett song. The title track form 'Please Don't Touch!' performed 'live' in Germany with Steve Walsh (from Kansas) on vocals. A personal fave! #ProgRock #MusicSky

BlueSky, sunshine.. here's a literary recommendation.
Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.
'Time's grey hand won't catch me....'
Music break, folks. This loosely resembles free jazz, with beautiful poetry from Pete Sinfield intertwined. A very good chill zone. For the uninitiated, start at 40 seconds in. Have a nice listen! #progrock #kingcrimson

It takes awhile, doesn't it?! BlueSky is awfully quiet as we build up our interests and followers. However, it's calmer, and so far not loaded with junk advertising and AI.
I think it's worth the wait. I am a songwriter/musician living in Paris.. Who are you? Let's share. #Folk-RockInternational
Glad you noticed Lynn. John Wetton (singer/bassist) is a talent worth following. King Crimson's best albums featured him and Bill Bruford (Yes Drummer), and Eddie Jobson worked with Jethro Tull among others. Yeah, they're hot. I'm sorry Wetton's gone. A great legacy left behind.
I think Hot Smoke and Sassafras was the obvious follow-up to Incense and Peppermints. #60sRock #45RPMS #Psychedelic

My favorite line up of the band. I was LUCKY to see Lark's Tongues concert up close in San Diego 1974. #KingCrimson

John Wetton, a driving force with King Crimson and UK, narrates this mysterious tale. A man leaving London and taking the train to Waterloo, encounters a ghost. A premonition of his own mortality? This is artful prog rock.
