Wavy Gravy (nee Hugh Romney Jr.), a Merry Prankster, stated at Woodstock “There’s always a little bit of heaven in a disaster area.”
The Bee Gees sang that nobody gets too much heaven no more.
And, they’re both right, although the Bee Gee’s grammatical structure leaves much to be desired, especially for songwriters!
The year 2020 wasn’t anybody’s idea of heaven. Unless, of course, you manufactured and sold PPE. The pandemic took center stage almost immediately. But it was also a year rife with social unrest, political tomfoolery and folks taking airplanes and doing the conga in a club in Whitestone, where I was raised and went to school. Oh, the humanity!
