Let It Be

While looking at YouTube last night I came across The Beatles live rooftop performance in late January 1969 of songs that would eventually be on their Let It Be album. The unannounced concert was recorded on the roof of their Apple Records headquarters in London.

This was the first time watching the entire set since I saw it as part of the Let It Be film in the early 1970's. We both really enjoyed watching this clip. Afterward YouTube presented us with another Beatles live performance from Japan in 1966. It was truly awful with terrible sound and a bad performance too.

Seeing the rooftop film again was exciting and also made me want to listen to the Let It Be album which I hadn't listened to start to finish in a while. Actually I probably listened to the Let It Be Naked album more recently which is a remix of the original album without all the Phil Spector embellishments.

So today Becky and I listened to the Let It Be album and loved it. It really did sound good again even with all the Phil Spector tinkering. I also was listening using my Random Album Effect mode so the next album up was Let It Be by the Replacements but that's another post.

Also coincidently I just happen to be listening to one of my mixes right now and the song playing as I write this is the Beatle's song Across The Universe from the Let It Be album. I was also just reading about the album and saw that Phil Spector added that song to the album at the last minute and it was originally recorded in a 1968 session. Interesting.

Raindrops Kept Falling On My Head

B.J. Thomas died this week. A lot of the FB music groups I belong to were talking about his music and his importance in pop culture. I really had to beg to differ. I've been a serious music collector most of my life but there is absolutely no BJ Thomas on my shelves, on my hard drives, anywhere. And for good reason.

He had a couple of really lame hits on the radio in the early 70's but the thing I found most unforgiving about him was doing that song Rain Drops Keep Falling On Your Head that was featured on the otherwise wonderful movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

When that film was released in the fall of 1969 I went and saw it right away. I loved it right up until the moment when somehow that BJ Thomas song came on the screen in a very weird and out of place scene that didn't go with the movie one bit. It was like they filmed that bike scene just to play that song. It was awful. IMHO. 

The song came out a few months before the movie but didn't really become a hit until the movie had success. Then the song became the first #1 song of the 70's but would not have been a hit without the film.

I've seen this film numerous times over the 50 plus years since it's release and still every time I see the bike riding scene with that song I cringe. It sounds even worse over time and radically dates an otherwise great film with just that once scene and song.

Regardless of my feelings for his music it is sad that this artist died this week at age 78 of lung cancer.

Masters of Modern Design - The Art of the Japanese American Experience

 

Masters of Modern Design - The Art of the Japanese American Experience was a documentary show we watched last night on YouTube from the KCET Artbound series. It was a very powerful and fascinating story of the influence of Japanese American artists and designers in postwar American art and design. It also told the story of this second generation of Japanese American artists were forced into concentration camps during World War II where they suffered intense hardship and discrimination that had a lasting and powerful effect on the lives of the artists in the documentary that included Ruth Asawa, George Nakashima, Isamu Noguchi, S. Neil Fujita and Gyo Obata.

I enjoyed this documentary very much and was familiar with the work of several of the artists although not with their lives. It was also very disturbing to see how Japanese Americans were treated during the war. They were uprooted from their homes on the West Coast and shipped to internment camps to live in squalor. It was amazing to see how so many of the artists and educators living in the camps rose up to help their people get through the ordeal. It certainly was a terrible thing that our government did to these American citizens by putting them all, men, women and children, into prison camps that were no different from any other concentration camp around the world. It was disgraceful.

These artists all had a major influence on American culture including sculpture, architecture, furniture and album cover design.

Belfast Noir

Over the past year or so I’ve read a lot of crime novels, travel books and short story collections and now I’m combining them by reading a series of crime noir story collections from Akashic Books that take place in cities around the world. I’m starting with Belfast, then Havana and who knows where after that.

For many years now I've been reading crime mystery detective novels that take place in cities around the world including Berlin, Paris, Los Angeles, New York, Belfast, Dublin, Bangkok and many others. I'm looking forward to reading more from this series of short stories.

I'm also really enjoying reading these short stories that take place in Belfast during The Troubles. I've just read several books by Adrian McKinty that take place in Belfast at that time so I've been familiar with the history of that time and place.

Recursion

Recursion by Blake Crouch, 2019 

Read this in two days in May

This was a fascinating quick read science fiction book about memory, time, identity and a mysterious mind control disease.  This really was a mind blowing good book.

I really liked his book Dark Matter which I read in 2018. I should read a few more of his books.

Kitchen Listening - Tom Waits

Morning kitchen listening... there's something to be said about starting off your day with this guy.

Kitchen listening... another Tom Waits compilation for dinner too.

And a reflection... The first time I saw Tom Waits was in a small Philly club in 1973. I had never heard of him before that day. He was touring on his first album and my friend John was excited to see him and since I was in town on a weekend leave after a long overseas deployment I was game. I first heard his album on cassette as we drove downtown to the club. It was a great show and we had a table directly in front of the stage. We loved his songs and hipster banter with the crowd and he took his vagabond persona so seriously we could smell his BO from our seats. Just added to the ambience of the show.

That all being said... I've always loved the music of Tom Waits and have many of his albums.

Closing Time, 1973

The Space Between Worlds

The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson, 2020

Read in May 2021

Interesting concept of multiple parallel worlds or multiverse where the main character can go between the worlds where she is not living to investigate those other worlds. The author has a knack for world building and character development but the story seemed to drag in places and spent a lot of time on politics and philosophy rather than the plot.

I did enjoy the book overall but I had to make myself sit down and finish it. I didn't feel compelled to keep reading and it took me over a month to get through it. I liked the basic concepts but the storyline faltered at times. 

Bob Dylan 80

Today is Bob Dylan's 80th birthday. When I was in my early teen years he was the first musician that made me think about music as more than something that made me feel good. I've read many books about Dylan over the years and wrote about those books here in Reading About Dylan. I remember the first time I read an album review about Bob Dylan in a newspaper back in 1964 that put him on my radar but it would be another year before I went out and bought a record. That would be Highway 61 Revisited I got when I turned 15 and then Blonde on Blonde a few months later. I also wrote about my Dylan albums here. I'm sorry I've only seen him perform one time in 1974 touring with The Band.

Happy Birthday Bob Dylan.

The Chain

The Chain by Adrian McKinty, 2020

I read this novel in about a week in May 2021. This was my third Adrian McKinty book and the first that wasn't a Sean Duffy detective novel. There are four more of those novels and I'll get back to them but The Chain was a standalone and his most recent novel that was a NY Times bestseller. This was also the first book of his that I've read that didn't take place in Belfast. I was surprised this dark psychological thriller actually takes place in the US. 

Well, it was a terrific book that I sped through in less than a week. I'm looking forward to reading more of his books and also the crime short story anthology he edited titled Belfast Noir.

Family Dinner

Family dinner at our dining room table. Two children, two parents, and four grandparents. It's so nice to have family gatherings like this when the kids are in town.

We were a little worried about having people over with the swarm of bees in the backyard but the beekeeper came and took them away.

The Swarm

Monday evening I was sitting at the kitchen table when I heard a loud buzzing sound. I looked out the window and saw a large swarm of honeybees hovering above our back porch. Within a few minutes they began landing together in bunches on the fence between our yard and our neighbors. They eventually merged together into a football size moving mass that collected around the queen under the leaves of a bush growing along the fence and settled in for the night. They were well hidden and if you didn't already know they were there then you wouldn't suspect them to be in that bush. The shape in the photo is all bees. It is not a hive. Bees moving all over each other.

The next morning the slowly moving swarm was still football shaped and making it's was down the fence. Now it became much more obvious. Later in the afternoon the sun was on the swarm and they left the fence completely where they spread along the concrete between our house and the backyard. The mass on the ground moved around a little and changed shape depending on the sun and shade but eventually formed a rounded square for the night.

On Wednesday morning I contacted the WNY Honey Producers Association on their website and filled out the online form for a swarm removal.

I had several beekeepers contact me and made arrangements with one to stop by our home at 3 pm to remove the swarm.

While waiting for him there were some

changes. At one point around noon the entire swarm suddenly flew away and for about ten minutes or so there were on bees in our yard. As Mark and I were pondering the situation and I was considering calling the beekeepers to cancel the removal they suddenly and gradually reappeared. Soon the entire swarm was back and formed up in the bush again. Then they split into two

groups.

I think part of the swarm moved on. Maybe there were two queens. It just seemed like there were not as many bees by 3 pm as there were in the morning. The beekeeper arrived at got down on his hands and knees and moved the bees around until he found the queen. Then he put on his bee

protection jacket, gloves and headgear and first put the queen into a container and then began scooping up the bees into a large bucket. The process took about ten minutes. There were still a few bees left on the ground after he left because he said it was impossible to get every bee into the bucket. Most followed the scent of the queen and are now enjoying their new home in a hive on the Bee Happy Farm.

There are a few still hanging around where the queen once was but the beekeeper said they will soon disperse and try to find a hive somewhere nearby.

The Party of Traitors

The Republican party is refusing to support a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6th riot and Capitol insurrection conducted by supporters of trump's big lie.

And to quote...

“The public may never know precisely what Mr. Trump and members of his administration did or said as a throng of his supporters stormed the Capitol while Congress met to formalize President Biden’s victory, threatening the lives of lawmakers and the vice president. The full story may never be revealed of why security officials were so unprepared for the breach of the building, supposedly one of the most secure in the nation, despite ample warnings of potential violence. The extent of the role of Republican lawmakers closely allied with Mr. Trump in planning the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally that spiraled into a brutal onslaught may remain unexplored.
Despite its divisions, the United States formed fact-finding commissions after the attack of Pearl Harbor in 1941, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The failure to do so in this case, said those involved in some of the inquiries, would further erode trust in the government, and deprive the public of the kinds of lessons that could prevent another such attack.
“After many of the national tragedies we’ve experienced over the last 50 or more years, the response was to have a bipartisan investigation that would lay out the facts in a way that would be definitive,” said Michael Chertoff, who served as homeland security secretary under President George W. Bush in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. “It builds trust. It shows the public at a time of crisis, we can all come together and put the good of the country ahead of partisan interests.”
Even as the Justice Department moves to prosecute the rioters, congressional committees hold hearings and inspectors general examine their agencies’ responses to the attack, there is no outside group of experts charged with getting to the bottom of the myriad failings that led to the deadliest assault on the Capitol since the War of 1812.
What has been uncovered about the attack has only raised more questions:
* Why did it take hours for the D.C. National Guard to receive approval to deploy to the Capitol to fight off the mob? Maj. Gen. William J. Walker, the D.C. National Guard commander at the time, has said he did not receive approval to mobilize troops until more than three hours after he had requested it. Defense Department and Capitol security officials have given conflicting statements about what happened.
* What was Mr. Trump doing during the attack? He reportedly watched television as a mob stormed the Capitol, but later claimed that he had called in the National Guard, despite his defense secretary testifying that he never spoke to Mr. Trump that day. A Republican member of Congress said she was told that when Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the House Republican leader, phoned Mr. Trump to ask him to call off the mob, he refused, siding with the rioters whom he said were evidently more upset about the election than Mr. McCarthy was.
* What accounts for the lax precautions taken as right-wing extremists and militias openly planned to converge and wreak havoc on the Capitol that dark day? Leaders with the Capitol Police instructed officers to not to use their most forceful crowd control techniques and missed concerning intelligence reports. Security officials reportedly feared the “optics” of sending the National Guard to face off against supporters of Mr. Trump.
* How much coordination was there among extremist groups, and to what extent were members of Congress involved in the planning of the rally that preceded the violence? An organizer of the “Stop the Steal” rally said three members of Congress “schemed up” the event with him, though two of the three have denied that claim.
* Some on the right who support creating a commission have put forward their own questions, such as demanding more information about the shooting death of a protester, Ashli Babbitt, who was killed by a Capitol Police officer as she tried to force her way into a lobby just off the House floor where lawmakers were taking cover.
* And perhaps most importantly, how can the country prevent another similar scenario from happening again?
For the United States, which holds itself out as a beacon of democracy, the rule of law and transparency, the death of the commission has also raised a more fundamental question: What happens when one political party effectively squelches any effort to look inward to assess government failings that have shaken the public’s faith in the nation’s institutions?
In the absence of a bipartisan commission, Democratic congressional leaders could create a select committee to investigate the attack, one with a broad mandate and subpoena power. Mr. Biden could also appoint a commission of his own, as some past presidents have done after national tragedies.
Alvin S. Felzenberg, a top aide and spokesman for the commission that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks, said there was a chance that such an inquiry could address some pressing questions, citing the Truman Committee that examined war profiteering in the 1940s and the Ervin committee that investigated Watergate in the 1970s. But an independent commission would have benefited from the full-time attention of the investigators, he argued, and its conclusions would have been more likely to be trusted by the public.
“Sitting members of Congress are pulled away from their work to address ongoing business before Congress,” Mr. Felzenberg said. “They also are starting to think about the next election. The 9/11 Commission and staff tended to nothing other than to their charge, spelled out in legislation.”
Former Gov. Bill Weld of Massachusetts, who worked as a lawyer on the Watergate inquiry, said the country was being denied “closure” by Republicans’ refusal to embrace a Jan. 6 commission. He said a select committee investigation would need buy-in from both parties to be seen as legitimate.
“It would have to be bipartisan to be credible,” Mr. Weld said. “Everybody’s got to be on board for it.”
Unlike the work being done by Senate committees, which are focused on security breakdowns, the commission — a panel of 10 experts, evenly split between Republican and Democratic appointees — would have had the broad authority to connect various threads of inquiry and compile a single comprehensive record for American history, as the 9/11 Commission did after those terrorist attacks.
Mr. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney both testified before that commission, and supporters of a Jan. 6 commission were hopeful it could force testimony from Mr. Trump or at least those who spoke with him as the violence escalated, such as Mr. McCarthy.
“Is it going to reveal anything more than we would have gotten otherwise?” Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, said before breaking with her party to vote to move ahead with the commission. “I don’t know and I guess now we’ll never know. But isn’t that part of the problem — that we’ll never know?”
The Justice Department’s investigation into Jan. 6 is, at this point, one of the largest criminal inquiries in U.S. history, with more than 400 defendants. In court filings, several of the defendants have said that they were merely following the orders of Mr. Trump, saying the former president urged them on to storm the Capitol. But none of those prosecutions are looking into security or governance breakdowns.
“We need to figure out who knew what when,” said Lt. Gen. Russel L. Honoré, who was chosen by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to lead a security review of the Capitol in the aftermath of the riot, adding that an independent commission was still badly needed. “Our government did not work that day.”
Republican leaders, he said, had killed the commission because it “might make them look bad in the next election.”
“That’s a damn crying shame,” General Honoré said in an interview. “What a damning message this sends to the Capitol Police.”
“About 140 officers were injured in the attack on the Capitol. Many were smashed in the head with baseball bats, flag poles and pipes. Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who was allegedly sprayed with bear spray, collapsed and died afterward, and two officers who clashed with the mob later took their own lives.
Officer Sicknick’s mother, Gladys, and a small group of officers who survived the assault made a last-ditch effort to lobby for an independent investigation, visiting Republican senators’ offices this week to urge them to drop their opposition.
“If Jan. 6 didn’t happen, Brian would still be here,” Harry Dunn, a Black Capitol Police officer who fought the mob as they hurled racial slurs at him, told reporters between visits.
But ultimately, Republicans rallied behind Mr. McConnell, who told his colleagues that Democrats would try to use the commission to hurt their party in the 2022 midterm elections, and urged them to block it.”

The Moon Tonight

The moon tonight looking out from our dining room window. We were just cleaning up after having Dave and Donna over this evening for pizza and wings with Katie, Todd and the kids. It was nice be able to hang out and enjoy some time together.

Today the CDC announced that people who are fully vaccinated no longer need to wear masks while indoors except perhaps in crowded conditions like a live music show where people are side by side in close proximity.

The Rocking Chair

This is a picture taken today of our grandson Henry sitting in a rocking chair that once belonged to his great great grandfather Giuseppe Catanzaro who came to America from Sicily at the turn of the century and settled in Buffalo's West Side. He eventually owned a fish store on Grant Street throughout the 1920's and early 1930's but unfortunately went our of business during the Great Depression. The chair was given to him as payment for rent by a tenant in an apartment above his store. He kept the chair in the kitchen of their West Side home where he liked to sit while Becky's grandmother made meals for their large family that included Josephine, Antionette, Jenette, Grace, Gaspar, Catherine (my mother-in-law) and Rose.

Becky remembers sitting in that chair and being rocked by her grandmother. We have had the chair for many years and now Becky sits in it rocking her grandchildren. Me too.

2091

I was taking a walk through the neighborhood by myself and thinking about our new grandson Andrew. I saw a picture of him today as he just turned a month old. He was born in 2021 and I was born in 1951 which led me to doing some math. Seventy years apart.

I then had the thought that when he is the same age as I am today it will be the year 2091. That's a weirdly sci-fi idea. What will life be like then? Will Andrew have a new grandson born the year he turns 70? A child who would then be the same age as his grandfather at the time in 2161. Interesting thoughts.

Mother's Day 2021

We got together for Mother's Day at Dave and Donna's house. It's been a long time since we've to someone's home for an event with more than just a couple of people. We had a wonderful time but it still wasn't the usual number of people in the house. It was also cool and raining so we were inside the entire time.

In addition to Dave and Donna there was Amy and Doug and their two girls, Lori and Joe, Tom was there but Diane was home sick. Of course Mary was there and I had several library related conversations with her. She just graduated from the MLS program at UB and is looking for a library job. And Jim was there which was a real treat. Cassie has been in California for the baby shower with her mother. Jim was in Buffalo with his parents. Becky and I both had nice conversations with Jim. Their baby is due in early July. Becky talked with him a lot about art and museums whereas Jim and I talked mostly about music, TV shows and travel.

The spread of food for the brunch was amazing as usual. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of that table. I usually do. 

2034

2034: A Novel of the Next World War by Elliot Ackerman and James Stavridas, 2021

I read this book during the first week of May 2021. It was one of those political thrillers about a war that you keep reading no matter what else is on your plate. It was written by a couple of former military officers and award winning authors who imagine a clash between the US and China that expands into a war across the globe. There were no winners. Just lots of bodies. A nuclear holocaust of death and illness.

It was a fascinating cautionary tale of plausible speculative fiction that alters the global balance of power and a war of terrible consequences caused by a misuse of information and inadequate communication. It was not a war book like Tom Clancy but rather more about politics, technology and communication. It was a really scary book but one I couldn't put down.

Buried Treasure

The other day Katie and Todd took the kids to a local cemetery to view the flowers and specifically the azalea bushes which were in full bloom. Henry was very excited about the place and exclaimed "Look at all those cool stones. Maybe there is treasure buried under them". 

He has such an imagination and loves making up and telling fantastical stories. Kate said it was soon time for that awkward conversation concerning cemeteries and graveyards.

Someday Kate may show Henry the nearby graves of his great-grandfather and great-grandmother, his Uncle Tom and many other family members buried at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery just outside Philadelphia.

When I was a child there always seemed to be some relative dying. Funerals and cemeteries was a part of growing up. We also had to walk past two funeral homes on our way to school or church every day. There always seemed to be a crowd standing around outside those homes. There were always funerals. Someone was always dying. However, I was a little older than Henry is now when I started being aware of people around us dying and of course we also had the nearby church and the whole catholic school thing. And that sacrament Extreme Unction!

When our great grandparents lived with us my mom always kept that Extreme Unction kit handy in case a priest needed to be called suddenly. Sometimes I took it out when no one was around and looked at all the parts but was careful not to mess with the holy water.
