My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

Nice winter day. I headed out to get some essentials. Got what I needed.

Neil Young is leaving Spotify, the music app. He says he is upset that Joe Rogan’s podcast spreads false information about Covid and is on Spotify. Glad he is standing up for his principles with little concern about the money he will lose.

Eric Clapton, the guitarist from Cream and other bands says he believes subliminal advertising makes people get vaccinated. He is a great guitarist and not a medical practitioner. I say listen to his great music and don’t pay attention to his medical advice.

Justice Breyer and Biden held a press conference at the White House. Breyer certainly has a long list of accomplishments. He spoke about his role on the Supreme Court. He sure will be missed.
