Yesterday started the holy days of the Jewish people (Islam is in the middle of Ramadam but except for Cat Stevens I can’t seem to find many famous Moslim rock stars!) and so we wish our Jewish brothers and sisters a happy atonement (am I botching this).
And especially the late great Joey Ramone and the still verry much with us Bobby Dylan.
Just two of many and two new ones: the Shinobi Ninja twins!!
