Blaming Ray Davies and The Kinks

For all the gender confusion and conflict out there today.
They released “Lola” in 1970 A.D.

“Well, I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man.”

The Kinks! The Kinks are to blame!

As on the CD cover, many more tunes, indeed, including:

River Lady

Mexican Whistler

Why

A Special Kind of Man

Mammy Blue

Canada Is

If I Were a Rich Man

A Time for Peace

Wonderful World

An Image to My Mind

Streets of London

Truly a fine performer, voice, songwriter, and spirit whose influential heyday was the 1970s and ’80s.

Financial Smarts: Only in Edmonton

The downtown has numerous illegal parking lots taking up a good chunk of land that might be used for redevelopment.
90% of them don’t have permits and are charged nothing by the city for all the land they occupy and all the buckaroos they pocket.
City council’s unimaginative failure of common sense and mismanagement yet again. What do you expect from a bus-driver mayor?

“Art is anything you can get away with.”–Marshall McLuhan

The Olde World we knew before the Pandemic is gone forever.

Everything is different; nothing is the same.
Survival and coping mechanisms are significantly changed.
Many dreams have turned to dust.
Individuals are now left to their own inner resources (and up and coming generations will have fewer resources to draw on), and there are many in our current society and country who lack these.
Knee-jerk political divisiveness will not help this situation one iota and is a non-starter if one wants to survive, maintain mental health, and prosper.
More than ever, it is the right time to Live and Let Live.
