Yes 🎩🪄 South Side of the Sky

One of my all-time favorite Yes tracks, from their iconic 1971 album Fragile.

Here they are live in Birmingham in 2003, with all the usual suspects.

This one has always been special to me.

Turn it up and enjoy! 🎶

"What more could I ask.
Good friends.
Enough money
To buy anything I want.
I wanted a Rolls-Royce
Bought it.
I wanted a full-length,
$5,000 black mink coat
Bought that.
I wake up in my penthouse
Put on James Brown
Or the Temptations.
I'm rockin steady"

In 1982, a legendary band invited an unknown backing singer to improvise. One magical take later, her incredible voice became part of a timeless pop masterpiece. 🎶✨

"Baseball is different from any other sport, very different.
For instance, in most sports you score points or goals;
In baseball you score runs.
In most sports the ball, or object, is put in play by the offensive team;
In baseball the defensive team puts the ball in play, and only the defense is allowed to touch the ball.
In fact, in baseball if an offensive player touches the ball intentionally, he’s out;
Sometimes unintentionally, he’s out.
Also:
In football,basketball, soccer, volleyball, and all sports played with a ball, you score with the ball and in baseball the ball prevents you from scoring.
Baseball is a nineteenth-century pastoral game.
Football is a twentieth-century technological struggle.
Baseball is played on a diamond, in a park. The baseball park!
Football is played on a gridiron, in a stadium, sometimes called Soldier Field or War Memorial Stadium.
Baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life.
Football begins in the fall, when everything’s dying.
In football you wear a helmet.
In baseball you wear a cap.
Football is concerned with downs;
What down is it?
Baseball is concerned with ups;
Who’s up?
In football you receive a penalty.
In baseball you make an error.
In football the specialist comes in to kick.
In baseball the specialist comes in to relieve somebody.
Football has hitting, clipping, spearing, piling on, personal fouls, late hitting and unnecessary roughness.
Baseball has the sacrifice.
Football is played in any kind of weather: rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog….
In baseball, if it rains, we don’t go out to play.
Baseball has the seventh inning stretch. Football has the two minute warning.
Baseball has no time limit:
We don’t know when it’s gonna end – might have extra innings.
Football is rigidly timed, and it will end even if we’ve got to go to sudden death.
In baseball, during the game in the stands, there’s kind of a picnic feeling;
Emotions may run high or low, but there’s not too much unpleasantness.
In football, during the game in the stands, you can be sure that at least twenty-seven times you’re capable of taking the life of a fellow human being.
And finally, the objectives of the two games are completely different:
In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun.
With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy’s defensive line. In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe!
I hope I’ll be safe at home!

"Aye Larry, you ain't hit a shot since 84!"

Jamaal Mashburn tells about the time college star Rodney Rogers talked slick to Larry Bird, only for Magic Johnson to hear it. When they played again, Magic fed Bird over and over so he could make Rogers eat every word. Even with a bad back, Larry Bird was a monster. Greatest Small Forward of all time.

The year is 1873. Your wife tires easily and reads too much. The doctor prescribes the rest cure: six weeks flat in bed, no books, no visitors, fed on milk, forbidden to sit up without his permission. The man who devised it is the most famous nerve specialist in America, and the women come out of it quieter, which is taken as the cure.

The year is 1915. The hospital has a new way of delivering your child. Morphine, then scopolamine, and the mother wakes two days later with a baby she cannot remember having. They call it twilight sleep. The women are strapped into padded cots so they do not hurt themselves while they scream, and the straps are the modern part. The babies arrive blue and slow to breathe.

The year is 1945. The truck comes down your street fogging DDT, and the children run behind it in the white cloud because the man on the back says it is harmless. At the beach it is sprayed over the bathers on their towels. It goes on the cattle, over the barn, and across the kitchen table.

The year is 1948. Your son has trouble with his ears. The doctor slides a rod tipped with radium up each nostril and holds it there for the best part of ten minutes, and you bring him back three more times. Hundreds of thousands of American children get the same treatment. The cancers arrive in their fifties.

The year is 1962. The health visitor tells you breastfeeding is old-fashioned and the formula is scientific. By 1972 fewer than one American baby in four is breastfed at all. The formula is skimmed milk and sugar, with the milk fat taken out and vegetable oil put in.

The year is 1971. The family planning clinic fits a small plastic crab called the Dalkon Shield. Its tail is a bundle of fibres that wicks bacteria up into the womb. 2.8 million are fitted in America before it is withdrawn, and the company goes bankrupt under the claims. It had been sold as safe and superior.

The year is 1983. The doctor says your arteries are the butter's fault. The dripping tin goes in the bin, the yolks go to the dog, the margarine goes in the fridge, and you have the heart attack anyway, on skimmed milk, having done everything right.

The year is 2001. Your 15-year-old is low, and the doctor prescribes Paxil, because the trial in the journal says it is effective and well tolerated in adolescents. The raw data, reanalysed 14 years later, shows more suicidal thinking on the drug than on the sugar pill. The company pays $3 billion to settle. Nobody rings the house.

The year is 2009. The government has spent around £500 million stockpiling Tamiflu for the pandemic, on the strength of the manufacturer's trials. When the trials are finally prised loose five years later, the drug shortens flu by about half a day and nothing shows it keeps anyone out of hospital. The stockpile goes out of date in a warehouse.

The year is 2026. The doctor has ten minutes and a screen. The number is high, so the tablet is for life. The weight is high, so the injection is for life. The meat is bad for the planet and the oil is good for the heart, and the person in the chair is as certain as everyone who ever sat in it.

Every one of those was settled, by a committee, in a journal, with a doubter somewhere being laughed at. The rest cure, the straps, the fog, the rod, the formula, the crab, the margarine, the trial, the stockpile. All of it certain, all of it printed, all of it done to somebody who had asked for help.

You were never the one who was wrong. You were the one it was done to, and the only person in the story who did as they were told every single time.

The apology comes a generation late, in a footnote, addressed to nobody.

The next one is being drafted now.

A resurfaced 2009 promotional video shows Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed addressing students at the University of Michigan's Muslim Students Association (MSA), an organization whose national movement has historical links to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The MSA was founded in 1963 at the University of Illinois by Muslim students, including individuals associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. A George Washington University study confirms that Brotherhood members held influential positions in the organization's early leadership.

El-Sayed previously served as vice president of the University of Michigan's MSA, according to a 2012 interview with The Nation.

The controversy intensified after resurfaced social media posts by his half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, described their mother's involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt during the 1970s.

In a 2012 post, Abdelhadi wrote that she had spoken with her mother about her activism in the organization during college.
President Donald Trump has also accused El-Sayed of belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Muslim Brotherhood is banned in countries like Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia but has received state support from Turkey and Qatar.
