I don't have a personal good Steve Cropper story, but I was sitting in the living room of the late writer Stanley Booth a couple of years ago, and he was telling us about hanging with Cropper and Redding as they were finishing "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" so that was close enough.

Dec 4th 2027 - The militant immigrant-rights group the Fishes are ambushed while escorting the only pregnant woman in the world, a refugee named Kee.

📽️📅 Children of Men (2006)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Children of Men" (2006): First, a tense scene inside a car with Julian Taylor (played by Julianne Moore) sitting in the front passenger seat, looking concerned, while others sit silently in the back. Second, the view from the car's windshield shows a desolate forest road blocked by a burning, overturned vehicle, with debris scattered across the path. Third, a high-tech screen inside the car displays a live news report labeled "TERRORIST LEADER KILLED," accompanied by a timestamp reading "04/12/27, 13:18 PM," and the image of a road from a surveillance perspective marked "TARGET LOCKED."

5 minutes to infinitely improve your life. Steve, Booker, Duck and Al, timed so tight it would seem telepathic if it weren't for the telltale asides, yet simultaneously so damn loose and funky. Steve's unusually flamboyant leg kicks, Duck getting blissfully into it. Ace

Two close friends:
Alban Berg & Anton Webern by Alfred Dagli Orti. Undated, but perhaps from the early 1920s.
The two composers pose in a field, both wearing three piece suits

Remembering Anton Webern on his birthday 🎂
🎨 Portrait by Max Oppenheimer, 1909

"Doomed to total failure in a deaf world of ignorance & indifference, he inexorably kept on cutting out his diamonds, his dazzling diamonds, of whose mines he had a perfect knowledge."
