¿Por qué decimos «Serás el primero en saberlo» si los primeros realmente somos nosotros mismos?

Una canción Que os dedico. Abrazos

El ultimo estudio publicado en la web de los «Institutos Nacionales de Salud de Estados unidos» (NIH) denuncia la infectividad del uso de mascarillas a la hora de prevenir el contagio del virus Comunista Chino entre personas.

“Los datos sugieren que tanto las mascarillas médicas como las no médicas son ineficaces para bloquear la transmisión de persona a persona de enfermedades virales e infecciosas como el SARS-CoV-2 y el COVID-19, lo que desaconseja el uso de mascarillas”, concluye el estudio.

I’d been thinking about a theme like this, and was prompted to do it by a post from Hugh at the weekend, in which he shared one of the songs I’m including today. The theme is a response to some of the scenes we’ve seen in the news since the lockdown in England had another gradual relaxation last Monday. Despite the exhortations of our esteemed Prime Minister for people not to go mad and congregate without taking the recommended precautions, that is exactly what the usual moronic suspects did, celebrating the fact that they could go out and have a beer. The theme that came to mind from this was: crowds. The song that Hugh shared had a lot of ‘audience’ (or ‘crowd’) participation, and I said to him in the comments that it put me in mind of another video. After a little bit of thought, I came…

Do you use Facebook? If so, do you follow your favourite musicians on there? Unsurprisingly, for someone who posts a lot of music, I can answer ‘yes’ to both of those questions, and in some cases I am a member of that artist’s Facebook fan group page as well. If you haven’t tried this, they are pages where people share their love of the music: they are warm, welcoming places, and we can all use those, especially nowadays.

One of the groups to which I belong is the one for Mary Chapin Carpenter, which probably won’t come as a shock to anyone familiar with my posts, and the other evening someone shared a video for one of my favourites of hers. Watching it again I was transported back many years, as the song has always had a special meaning for me, and this reminded me that I had featured it…

A message to youth

I kinda set this week’s theme up in the previous episode of this series, both by including one song which cheated against my own ‘rules,’ and also in the comment I made about the news story relating to the serial shagger who has somehow become this country’s Prime Minister. Anyone with an ounce of decency would have resigned by now when caught dipping his wick at the public’s expense – although decency isn’t a word I’d associate with him or his government chums. But it has given me the perfect lead for today’s theme: cheating.

I have seven songs for you this week. Four are the classic ‘you done me wrong’ sort of cheating, one is someone on the brink of temptation, one is trying to hold things together, and the last one isn’t sure if cheating is going on or if he has just…
