Musical Interlude

Pet Shop Boys: Being Boring (1990)

This is not a simple song.

This is a defining moment in our lives. This is the friends and the lovers we lost through the AIDS epidemic. This is the dreams we had. This is the youth that slipped our hands. This is the Pet Shop Boys and we are very lucky to still have them in our lives.

As of 2018 (the most recent data I could locate), about 700,000 people have died of HIV/AIDS in the U.S. since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, and nearly 13,000 people with AIDS in the United States die each year.

Yup.

Who can plan 5 years in the future…especially if you've been paying attention to what's going on in the world?

Quote of the Day

You don't have the 'right' to go through a red light or smoke in a building. I hate this whole delusional, evil idea that you get to do whatever you want because of your 'rights,' and the rest of the world be damned." ~ Gene Simmons

Today's Soundtrack

A few weeks ago I posted this collection's sister, Sleaze. Like Sleaze, Encore is a multi-disk compilation of disco and dance tunes from the 70s and 80s that those of us of a certain age undoubtedly danced our asses off to when we were "young and beautiful." While a few of the transitions are absolute train wrecks, it's a stellar collection and highly recommended if you can find it.
