Melanie, at 76. It never occurred to me that she actually got old.

I have several of her albums and can never hear "Look what they done to my song, Ma" too many times.

76 is not old, thank you. Well, in December it was, but today it isn't.

Today, an extraordinarily brave Russian hero, Alexei Navalny was laid to rest. I doubt if there's anyone who doesn't believe he was murdered by Putin who, I'm sure, thinks he has solved a problem. Perhaps Putin should consider the words of Kierkegaard: “The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins.”
