Jerry Lee Lewis playing it completely straight, and with a guitar, singing the best version of Green Grass Of Home you'll ever hear www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEpH...

#ChurchOfRockAndRoll #66 His rock'n'roll career curtailed by controversy in the late '50s, Jerry Lee Lewis had a trick still to play. He re-emerged in 1969 as one of the greatest country singers of all time, and its most gifted male stage performer #JerryLeeLewis

Saw a kids' football match on my run this morning. Boys and girls on each team (girls just as good as the boys), multi-racial. Families cheering, watching. Good to be reminded of harmonious, integrated humanity, our species' destiny, despite it all.

Working chronologically, now around 1968-9. Criteria - someone special, inlfuential, great and/or overlooked. I avoid super famous people unless I have something original to say about them.
RIP Diamond Dave Whitaker, organiser, community pillar, the man who turned Dylan onto pot, Woody Guthrie + Kerouac. Gathering for him today on Hippie Hill, San Francisco 3-6pm. Bring musical instruments. (I'm in Dublin, won't be there, but sending vibes). michaeldonnelly.substack.com/p/rest-in-pe...

There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong
Stand - There's a midget standing tall
And the giant beside him about to fall"
