My current read. I’ve tried to follow the teachings of Stoicism for most of my adult life. This book is connecting a lot of dots for me.

So many brilliant debut albums from 1976. "Dreamboat Annie" by Seattle's very own Wilson sisters, aka #Heart, is no exception. A gig opening for Rod Stewart broke them across Canada where the album was recorded. America followed suit on the strength of "Crazy on You" and the title track.
