Carole King s Tapestry turns 50 today, bringing its legacy of love, friendship and female empowerment into a new decade.
Filled with hits So Far Away, Beautiful and I Feel the Earth Move , Tapestry was the most Grammy-winning album released in 1971. It earned King four awards: record of the year for “It’s Too Late”, album of the year, song of the year for “You’ve Got A Friend” and best pop vocal performance, female. King didn t accept the awards in person, having recently given birth.
It was just about the most successful album of the decade, and proof that women could rule rock s formerly male-dominated world, Sheila Weller, author of Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon – and the Journey of a Generation wrote for AARP.

Hello KVMR groovy people: Paul Berger here, host of Dawn Eclectica every other Wednesday from 4-7 am. This Tuesday, I get to spin discs during daylight hours when listeners will actually be in a state of conscious alertness, when I host the February 2 Music Magazine from 4-6 pm. I’ve put together a captivating set, with tastes of Crosby Stills, Nash, Eva Cassidy, Boz Scaggs and even Miley Cyrus. Live tracks from Paul Simon, Sting, Mark Knopfler, the Pretenders and more. A hilarious parody about QAnon – “What’s Q Got to Do With It?” And on the Spotlight Showcase, Americana-folk-rock artists Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, a band not played often enough on KVMR but definitely worth a listen (they’ve won several Grammys and earned other accolades). Thanks to KVMR Deejay Johnny Gallagher for letting me sub for him. Hope you’ll join me!

The organizers were Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, Bonnie Raitt and John Hall and featured James Taylor, Carly Simon, Crosby Stills & Nash and Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, among others. It is more than 40 years since that historic event, and all those musicians and many other peacemakers must be rejoicing as the United Nations’ (UN) Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) came into effect on Jan. 29, 2021.
Adopted on July 7, 2017 during the UN conference, 122 states voted in favor of the treaty and 51 have since ratified it. It is therefore now in force. But the problem is that countries that have most of the nuclear warheads, namely the US and Russia, have rejected the treaty. Other non-signatories include China, France, Britain, Pakistan, India, Nor

She took me through a burning sky to the eye of a special thought where space and time go round and round and neither makes a difference. You ask how that can be? Squeeze yourself in behind me and be quick about it. Fly on past morning with the Phantom.
Once upon a time it all came down to two things for me: Dope and Women. Einstein and Jung might ve filled up my days at Ol Miss Pyrotechnic U, amigo, but my nights were my own, and I got toked, stroked, and provoked if anybody tampered with the equation.
