Day 236: Already Gone, The Eagles
Time for more Eagles I feel. I remember seeing the Eagles in concert back in the day when George Bush junior was President. They introduced this song by stating that they hoped Bush would already been gone by the time the next Presidential election came along. Seeing Trump thankfully fall from power yesterday, reminded me

Day 230: Boys of Summer, Don Henley
Oh the pain. Today the UK re-enters lockdown although this was announced last Saturday as obviously the last thing you need to do when a contagion is in exponential growth phase is act quickly. I just hope one day I live to see better government in the UK and the USA. Anyway, in order to
