Seems like the kind of music unique to the late-60s, early 70s, similar to Peter Green and Eric Clapton, and to some extent Jimi Hendricks.


Duane Allman is probably more highly regarded for the style of music that was popular, but this style was being overrun with pop music and rock redefining how music could be given the time to express an artistic impression. Gregg Allman didn't really continue to make music and fizzled away a few years after Duanes death, and made a resurgance when alternative music was becoming popular in the early 90s.

The Beatles’ She’s Leaving Home captures a moment in the late 1960s when thousands of young people fled their homes to live in Utopian communities. Benjamin Ramm looks back.

I always wondered what this was about.


This is the last collaboration (a bootleg copy and never intended to be released) of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, probably because they sound higher than a kite.









He has a museum near Moscow which recreated his living room circa 1980; how exciting.

ROYAL ALBERT HALL CONCERT ( 2010 ) · Ludovico Einaudi

About half way through the music get's more interesting.

I found the music when checking a review of Hitachi DA-1000 (a "top of the line" CD player when they were first coming out.)

Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time is a work of history written by Carroll Quigley. The book covers the period of roughly 1880 to 1963 and is multidisciplinary in nature though perhaps focusing on the economic problems brought about by the First World War and the impact these had on subsequent events. While global in scope, the book focusses on Western civilization, because Quigley has more familiarity with the West.

The book has attracted the attention of those interested in geopolitics due to Quigley’s assertion that a secret society initially led by Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Milner and others had considerable influence over British and American foreign policy in the first half of the twentieth century. From 1909 to 1913, Milner organized the outer ring of this society as the semi-secret Round Table groups.

- Original Elton John version (without harpsichord) https://youtu.be/nPzlGklVNb0

Incidentally, when watching the movie (The Favourite which I linked to in 'What are you Watching') the endless shelves of books reminded me of the Castlevania Symphony of the Night, and this was autoplaying right after the Elton John song listed above.


Also, I highly doubt that Queen Anne was having a lesbian affair following the death of the King and the failure to have any of her 13 pregnancies last into adulthood (mostly dying before even reaching childhood for some damn reason, and you have to wonder if her gout--which is entirely diet related--caused some really unhealthy fetuses?) The movie also made the suggestion that the rabbits were named after the children that didn't make it, though much of it along with the lesbian tryst was entirely fabricated.)
