Today's album is a bit of a treat for me. Otis' Redding's third album, Otis Blue (YT link for anyone interested). Redding is probably my favorite vocalist of all time. His voice just resonates in the depths of my soul. I've never actually sat down and listened extensively to his albums. I've just known the singles.

While listening to the album this morning, I decided to read the excerpt from the book and then the Wiki article.
Imagine being in the studio, recording this work with legends in a 24-hour span, only taking a break to go play some live gigs. Absolute legends.

That’s one record I hope to find at some point in the future. Listen to it on youtube all the time!

[Maiden Voyage]

Check out The Raveonettes, a Danish band.

I know them. They are quite good.

 

[WhatDidHeSay?]

U2 sucks.

Used to love em. But 'bono' is a paedophile with ties to Epstein's holiday island. Flight logs, you name it... Fuck them.

 

[LegendOfKage]

Used to love em. But 'bono' is a paedophile with ties to Epstein's holiday island. Flight logs, you name it... Fuck them.

It would be wrong to assume that everyone who went there did so for that reason. The benefit of the doubt is important enough when it comes to little matters. When it comes to something like that, it's enormously important. Don't let the severity and depravity of a potential crime blind you to the importance of innocent until proven guilty.

Also, it stands to reason that some celebrities were there to lend credibility to everything else going on, and it would have been figures with power who would be the ones to be blackmailed or used for influence, making Bono an even less likely target. Bono is popular, but he has no power beyond his fame.

I'm also guessing that there were other political figures and business men who were never propositioned, and who were also there to create the illusion of credibility.
