Essays of the 1960s & 70s | 
#MentalHealthMonday a day late !
1.every day is crazy day.I have much to do but the pain & cruelty coming down in this political scene is toxic.
2.music is always a great idea!
3. I was pretty edgy in my choices as a young adult, I find myself in this crazy time gravitating to the pop/rock of my childhood for comfort!😁I am diehard NPR usually, but can‘t take the ridiculous crap all day long.

Kerrbearlib I agree, the pain and cruelty is toxic. It can be so heartbreaking to read the news and so hard not to slip into despair. Love your book choice. What are some of your favorite groups from the 1970s? I've been listening to more music from that decade and really enjoying it! 3mo
