We continue our look at the music of 50 years agoâ¦
If you had to pick one musical artist to represent the decade of the 1970âs you would be hard-pressed to find a better one than Elton John. With the exception of 1977 (re-hab?) Elton had at least one album and sometimes two in the charts during every year of the decade. It was a remarkable run for he and lyricist Bernie Taupin. And 1971 was a particularly fertile year. Not only did they drop two outstanding studio albums including Madman Across The Water which we will get to later this yearâ¦but they also recorded the soundtrack to the movie âFriendsâ and also released a live recording called 17-11-70 which was a great intimate concert in a New York radio studio.

The U.S. House of Representatives made Donald J. Trump the first U.S. president ever to be impeached twice on Wednesday. There’s little chance that Trump, as a result, will be removed from office one second earlier than his allotted time. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced he will not call the Senate back for an emergency session to hold the impeachment trial, so the Senate won’t hear the impeachment and vote on it until after the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden next week.
So why impeach the president at all? Is it simply, as his most loyal enablers like Rep. Jim Hagedorn suggest, the latest in a long history of persecution, lies and harassment that his enemies started before he was even elected? Or is it because, as House leadership insists, Trump’s actions since the election and leading up to last week’s insurrection at the Capitol have finally tipped the scale of outrage and justice must be done?
