Englishman In New York Audition & Strange Aircraft

Source: Wikimedia Commons

All that I can remember of this dream is that one part of the dream involved an audition involving the song Englishman In New York by Sting, which I had planned to make a post about tomorrow in the real world, but that is all that I can remember of this part of the dream.

Sting – Englishman In New York

The last part of the dream took place outside in the yard of The E House near the laundry building late in the afternoon, I was possibly walking out of the laundry building when I noticed something strange in the sky, and I saw an unknown white thin mostly quiet (not completely quiet) aircraft flying overhead.

The Assassination of Medgar Evers – A Hero Silenced – Extra History

What is it?

Here is the description for this video:

Medgar Evers was, like many who came after him, a civil rights leader who was murdered for speaking up. But while he might not be as well known as Martin Luther King Jr. or Malcolm X, he’s no less vital to the history of the civil rights movement and is especially noted for his work with the NAACP and tearing down segregation within schools. And his tragic death would expose how deep the corrupted root of racism went in the system, when his killer would not be brought to justice until 30 years later.

Black Pumas: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

What is it?

Here is the description for the video above:

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music’s Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It’s the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.

Dec. 7, 2020 | Felix Contreras — The Austin-based rock band Black Pumas is having a good 2020. The group, led by singer Eric Burton and guitarist Adrian Quesada, was just nominated for three Grammys, including album of the year for Black Pumas (Deluxe Edition), and both record of the year and best American roots performance for the track “Colors.” The band’s turn behind a tiny desk (and chair) shows why its debut album — now more than a year old — is receiving so much recognition right now.
Black Pumas’ gritty, retro-soul groove is on full display, while the intensity level builds gradually throughout this four-song set. It’s clear why the band’s live shows have won over fans. From the opening strains of “Red Rover,” Burton digs deep and by the time we get to the ballad “OCT 33,” he’s burning with old-school soul heartbreak.

Quesada’s guitar is the perfect call-and-response foil, while the entire band — complete with two powerful back-up singers — calls to mind soul classics, but with a groovy new sheen.
I’ve seen some of Black Pumas’ shows in recent years and the band gets better every time out. The power of this Tiny Desk (home) concert shows that they always bring it, no matter the size of the audience.
