My new ear-worm.... 🎶
David Gilmour, Sir Bob Geldof & Chrissie Hynde

Chicago (Change the World)

I found & posted the original (1971) by Graham Nash the other day, but this was tougher to re-locate. Quite the song. And ensemble!
Chrissie Hynde's hitting that "change" note... # haunts me. (Which is why I went looking for the original). Still haunting. And topical.

Late 60's/70s was a time of both violence (e.g., Chicago, Vietnam) and "peace, love & music" (e.g., Woodstock).
2020s so far are a time of dealing with pandemic, a spiraling ecosystem and environment, and - as seems so human - ourselves.
