Oh gosh I didn't even know about the plane crash. So I looked it up. It happened in 1974. I had moved to NJ by then from the Twin Cities.

We are the only ones that we know of.
Of course. That was Sagan's point. Humans keep trying to define the universe in terms of themselves but that just can never work.

(1966) Garage/psych from Canton, ,OH . Actually a demo they recorded. A band member took it to NYC and they secured a 6 record contract with Reprise. Condition? They charge their name to "The In Crowd". But luckily "Walk In the Sun" remains credited to The Angry.

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
Eddie tries to explain why he thinks he should rule the world. Prince just isn't buying it.

(2010) Recorded 40+ times since 1926 by John Fahey, Howlin Wolf, Leadbelly, Gene Pitney, J,eff Buckley, etc. At times you can hear the delta blues and at others you can hear the blending of styles landing squarely in Appalachia. Beck & Imelda May capture it all. #MusicSky youtu.be/8rJBg0pkFyI?...

(2025) Jesse Welles singing in a NYC subway station. "...War isn’t murder, ask Netanyahu
He’s got a song for that and a bomb for you
War isn’t murder, it’s an old desert faith
It’s a nation-state sanctioned, righteous hate.."
