 “Oh, and I thought when I was there, God, what am I doing here?
 I’m a-tryin’ to kill somebody or die tryin’
 But the thing that scared me most was when my enemy came close
 And I saw that his face looked just like mine”

BREAKING: An 82-year-old not-so-sly Stone finally rolls away. Funk pioneer, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and owner of enough bell-bottoms to clothe a small country, exits stage left. His family confirms: yes, even funk legends are mortal. RIP, groove.

well, there are some bigger historical #Yiddish choirs from NY I should probably write #Wikipedia articles about first, but I photographed a bunch of documents from the Kultur Gezelshaft Khor back at YIVO so I figured I should type up what I could find. a Yiddish art choir that broke away from the communist choir in 1929 to be non partisan heh

GENE SIMMONS: 'THE BEATLES Are Above And Beyond Anything That Anybody's Seen In Music Over 200 Years'

https://blabbermouth.net/news/gene-simmons-the-beatles-are-above-and-beyond-anything-that-anybodys-seen-in-music-over-200-years

highly recommend this YIVO talk which took place today with Berlin-based music historian Jascha Nemtsov, one of the few people researching, performing and publishing about Jewish art music in the late Russian empire and interwar Germany, Austria and Mandatory Palestine. I learned a lot and want to read his book someday
