The mental illness surge has definitely hit my area. People are cracking like eggs: hopelessness, drug and alcohol relapse, suicidal teens with exacerbated social media drama that can't get resolved the next day at school but instead festers and rots. I'm working 60 hour weeks and running out of magic wands...glad my 15 year old is in the minority and has not yet snapped. My area will remain on full scale lockdown till 5-31...our Governor erring on the side of safety, science, lives over economy and good campaign posters in his 2032 run for president. This whole pandemic has exposed some pretty embarrassing flaws in how the world does and does not work. I trust some good will come of it but it will be too late for the too many victims. Will Trump incite a global vaccine brawl? www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/fears-rise-that-trump-will-incite-a-global-vaccine-brawl/ar-BB13yJEG?ocid=msedgntp

Sadly, The Corona snuffed out Dave Greenfield...the excellent and cool Strangler's keyboard maven. He was only 71. Too young to die for sure.

Sadly, The Corona snuffed out Dave Greenfield...the excellent and cool Strangler's keyboard maven. He was only 71. Too young to die for sure. In the statement, Greenfield’s bandmates and manager described him as “a lovable, friendly and eccentric character who always had time to chat.” They each offered their own tributes to their late friend. Bassist Jean-Jacques (J.J.) Burnel wrote: “On the evening of Sunday May 3rd my great friend and longstanding colleague of 45 years, the musical genius that was Dave Greenfield, passed away as one of the victims of the Great Pandemic of 2020.” “We have just lost a dear friend and music genius, and so has the whole world. Dave was a complete natural in music. A huge talent, a great loss, he is dearly missed,” wrote drummer Jet Black. “We lost a true innovator, musical legend, and one of my dearest friends today,” wrote guitarist Baz Warne. “The word genius is bandied around far too easily in this day and age, but Dave Greenfield certainly was one. “We stood together on the same side of the stage for 20 years, laughed, joked and shared our lives in the way that only band mates can. I’ll miss him forever.” In wake of the news, musicians and friends took to social media expressing both their grief and fond memories of Greenfield. Included in the list was Billy Idol, Black Francis of the Pixies, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Greenfield’s Stranglers bandmate, guitarist/vocalist Hugh Cornwell. @hughcornwell I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Dave Greenfield. He was the difference between The Stranglers and every other punk band. His musical skill and gentle nature gave an interesting twist to the band. (1 of 2) @hughcornwell He should be remembered as the man who gave the world the music of Golden Brown. Hugh Cornwell 4/5/2020 (2nd of 2) Here’s what the other musicians had to say @billyidol RIP #DaveGreenfield #STRANGLERS keyboard player... @mrblackfrancis Long live The Stranglers. @bunnymen RIP Dave Greenfield, can’t believe this. @chrishawkinsuk Dave Greenfield was one of the greatest keyboard plays we’ve ever known- he’ll be missed. @therealboon just told us on @bbc6music that he had an influence on him and @inspiralsband more than any other band. What a guy. Former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe also took to Twitter to honour the late keyboardist. “Today we honor the music and life of Dave Greenfield,” he wrote. “He was a brilliant songwriter and performer, and we thank him and The Stranglers for their inspiration, contribution, songs and attitude.” Stranglers manager Sil Willcox said on the band’s website that it was a “privilege” to have known and worked with Greenfield. “We are all in shock, Dave was a kind, generous soul who had time for anyone and everyone and it has been my privilege to have known him as both a close friend, his tech and manager for over 40 years.”

Video by Cathy Richardson Covid Breath (Jethro Tull-Locomotive Breath, Coronavirus Parody) My first walk down the path after lockdown, I was appalled by the joggers ignoring social distancing protocols and aerosoling their breath indiscriminately over any poor fool in their wake. Who are these people? Why are they so selfish? ! Can't they just cross the street and PRETEND to care, rather than plowing through those of us ATTEMPTING to maintain social distance while huffing their lung fumes into our unsuspecting face holes?
Locomotive Breath was written by Ian Anderson and recorded by Jethro Tull. I wrote these parody lyrics and produced this parody in my home studio. Special thanks to Matt Ammons as the Jogger, Videography by Carla Ammons and special appearances by Rachel and Sri Rose Richardson, Rachel Jordan, my neighbors Emmett Walsh and Amy Jo Baker and the Unknown Random Woman Passerby who very graciously jumped into the video when we needed more joggers, what a trouper! Thanks for watching!

I wish the very mention of 'Trump' could be retroactively erased from the lyrics of AWOL. If there was ever a human being who does not rate mention in a Tull song......

WOULD YOU VOLUNTEER TO BE INFECTED WITH THE CORONAVIRUS?
A group of academics say that 100 altruistic young people should volunteer to get a vaccine for Covid-19 and then be infected with the coronavirus on purpose.
The idea of such a “challenge trial” is controversial but could speed testing of a vaccine by months, according to a proposal posted online, offering fast evidence that a shot works or doesn’t.
“We need fresh ideas to get out of the #COVID19 dilemma of sacrificing the economy, health care system, or both,” tweeted Marc Lipsitch, a Harvard University epidemiologist who cosigned the proposal with Nir Eyal, a bioethicist at Rutgers University, and Peter Smith, a statistician from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
Some experts believe a vaccine is the best hope to end the epidemic. One candidate created by Moderna Therapeutics of Cambridge, Massachusetts, is already being given to healthy volunteers in Washington state in an initial safety test.
No one, though, has yet had virus squirted up their nose on purpose, something that is ethically dubious under most circumstances. The drawback is obvious, the authors admit: “Challenging volunteers with this live virus risks inducing severe disease and possibly even death.”
Yet the risk could be worth it for society, they think, since trying to infect vaccinated people on purpose might be the quickest way to learn whether a vaccine works.

I would do it in a second...I am confident about my overall health, have never been told by any MD that I have vulnerabilities of the immune system, kidneys, lungs etc. My last cold was in about 1982. The chance that a moderate viral load Corona exposure would prove fatal to me via either a severe Covid-19 or a haywire response by my immune system would be lower than the chance I get hit by a car riding my bike to work later today and the medical scrutiny and follow up that would accompany a vaccine trial would also decrease the chances of suffering and pre-deceasing Ian....bring it on. Our society asks people to go to WAR every day of the week and a medically scrutinized vaccine trial is an ethical issue? I SWEAR.

THE NEW NORMAL?
A South Korean soccer team has reportedly apologized for filling the stands of their fan-less stadium with sex dolls for a weekend game. FC Seoul used the dolls in place of human spectators at their Sunday match against Gwangju FC, The Sun reported. Other teams have used cardboard cut-outs because people are banned due to coronavirus. South Korean soccer team FC Seoul mixed up sex dolls for mannequins to fill up the stadium.Yonhap via AP Social media posts from FC Seoul’s game, however, showed the dolls fully dressed but oddly shaped. FC Seoul later acknowledged the plastic attendees were not intended for family games and apologized for the mishap in an Instagram post. The team blamed their supplier for the sex doll mix up. FC Seoul won the game 1-0.

Tradition, COVID-19, adversity, and toilet paper, all these are inspiration for young Hong Kong artist Angel Hui. She's using her traditional Chinese blue ink brush skills to transform the humble toilet roll into a canvas for traditional artworks.

For a future performance, I request "Wipe Out" (originally recorded and performed by "The Surfaris" in 1963).
Is that an "Animal" doll fastened to your drum kit?

Adults living alone in England, including single parents with children under 18, will be able to form a "SUPPORT BUBBLE" with one other household, the prime minister has announced. The new rules begin on Saturday and are intended to ease the challenges of social isolation during the coronavirus lockdown. Members of a bubble can visit each other indoors and stay overnight at their home, effectively acting as one household. There is no need to stick to the two-metre social distancing rule. People living alone will now be able to stay overnight at another household A single-person household is allowed to join with one other multi-person household, meaning a grandparent living alone would be able to visit the house of their child and grandchildren. It will also allow single parents to get childcare help from others, and couples who live apart to meet indoors. Speaking during the government's daily coronavirus briefing, Boris Johnson said the measures were a "targeted intervention" to help those who are most lonely. "There are still too many people, particularly those who live by themselves, who are lonely and struggling," he said. The bubble policy, however, does not include those who are shielding, meaning guidelines stay the same for the "clinically extremely vulnerable". Mr Johnson stressed the measures were not designed for people who do not meet the criteria, who should continue to socially distance and only meet outdoors. He said the government "won't hesitate to apply the brakes" if needed. The prime minister added that people cannot switch the support bubble or connect with multiple households. And if one person in the bubble develops coronavirus symptoms then everyone must follow the relevant isolation advice. Other changes - coming in on Monday in England - include the reopening of non-essential shops and zoos, as long as they can carry out proper social distancing. Commuters will also be expected to wear a face covering on public transport from next week - or risk a fine. Hospital visitors and outpatients will have to do the same. On schools, ministers yesterday admitted they would not be asking primaries to fully reopen, with many pupils now not expected to return until September at the earliest. Here, Ian Anderson is shown supporting one of the bubbles.

www.express.co.uk/Chris Wright, who founded Chrysalis Records in 1968 and discovered and recorded artists and groups like Jethro Tull, Debbie Harrie, Blondie, Ultravox and Spandau Ballet, warned that the industry now needs to consider a future where there is not a cure or vaccine for the disease. Speaking to former cabinet minister and ex-GMTV presenter Esther McVey on her latest Blue Collar Conversation podcast, the veteran music entrepreneur said that live music could be hit in the long term. He said: “Coronavirus is going to change everything and the longer it is around without a viable cure or vaccine the more the changes will get impregnated into all strands of business and society. “You have no live concerts right now, all the summer festivals are off, no big music events in the same way there are no big sporting events. “People are assuming that soon we will be back to normal. Well we might not be back to normal and that is something people have not faced into." He claimed that “the whole world is in denial” over the seriousness of the situation. “To some extent we are going to have to adjust to the fact that this is something we should at least have an idea about how we might handle if it does take longer to get back to where we think we should be. “The losers are working musicians and people involved with the live music events, not just the musicians, the sound men, tour management team, sound and light, the backing singers and musicians They are clearly having a hard time right now.” link
