What are you listening to in 2022

Like many others, I first read Kurt Vonnegut's book " Cat's Cradle" in High School.
Revisited it after my first duty assignment on Guam, a young kid trying to understand my role .
Bokononism seemed to make as much sense as any other take on why I'm here.

From Bokonon’s “Fifty-third Calypso".

Thanks, big Havens fan here.

we saw him, oh, maybe 15 years ago. He performed with Janis Ian and Roger McGuin from "The Byrds." All were great. I really had not understood what an amazing artist Janis Ian really was.

Oh, funny anecdote...while onstage, Richie Havens was joking around and did this huge karate kick! I guess he must have been 65 years old...and he did this huge karate kick, like he was a kid. Was impressive and also very funny, the way he did it.

A friend of ours was on the electrical set up crew at the original Woodstock. Apparently, they had huge problems and for a time, there were electrical cables running under something like 6 inches of water! I don't think people really know how close they came to the show being cancelled because of technical problems. You hear a bit of it, in the song "Freedom," because they can't quite get the mic right in the beginning.
