I've loved Joe's cover of this Beatles' song for years, but hadn't listened to the full album until this week, & it's magical! Joe covers a couple of Dylan songs, too, to which he does justice, but WALHFMF is definitely the standout track.
YT vid is his Woodstock performance🌻

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I love Old Hollywood and especially James Dean. Came across this gorgeous pic of him and what can I say, he inspired me. 😬

Beautiful dreamer —
a misunderstood rebel
who left us too soon.

Random book from our home library:

📖 George Orwell: The First Complete Biography by Bernard Crick

Ebook on sale. Will work for November‘s #foodandlit country #Samoa @Catsandbooks

The drama, the talent, and the music still have an impact today. Rumors wasn't just an album, it was a once in a generation piece of art. Christine McVie and Fleetwood Mac created music inspired by their joys and pain, creating a pantheon of hits over the decades. Very few groups manage this kind of longevity, and Christine was the one who kept it all together. Can you imagine a world without songs like "Don't Stop" or "You Make Loving Fun"?

Very inspiring bio focusing on the spiritual life of actor and activist Martin Sheen. These are some of the religious figures who influenced the awakening of Martin‘s faith. He certainly turned his life around. What a kind, passionate and caring human being who stands up for what he believes in-no matter what. Now I want to binge-watch The West Wing and Grace and Frankie!

Ok. It had a lot of information I didn‘t know, that i did find interesting. He‘s thorough on facts, but he‘s soft on that kind of look-back analysis. And the writing is just poor.
