Separated from Jeff Lynne and ELO, Roy Wood’s solo album Boulders, including some tracks from the Move years. The album should have been called “Gems.”

Progressive Esoterica
What hath J.R.R. Tolkien wrought? Forsooth, Prog Rock!
Stewart-stitious
Before Jimmy Page had Robert Plant fronting Led Zeppelin, his former Yardbirds bandmate Jeff Beck had Rod Stewart.
To the Victor Go the Spools
With the passing of Dame Vera Lynn at 103, World War II slips a little bit further away from living memory. Thanks to magnetic tape recording — an invention perfected in Nazi Germany — this 1950’s re-recording of Lynn’s “We’ll Meet Again” sounds as though it could have been made yesterday.
I should see if Vera Lynn ever commented on this use of her signature song.
Traffic Jamming
There sure are plenty more cars on the road than there were in the middle of the lockdown, and today I was driving one of them.
Huzza? Whuzza?
Here’s something I didn’t know until about 30 seconds ago. The word “boogaloo,” that I used in a post not long ago, has been appropriated by far-right wackos!
“Boog” is short for boogaloo, a far-right anti-government movement that began on the extremist site 4chan and aims to start a second American civil war.
This is screwed-up beyond belief. Trump has got to go! He’s been validating and enabling these armed clowns to an extremely dangerous degree, and I have my fingers crossed for election day.
(Huzza=Huh? Whuzza=What?)
