Tunes Du Jour Celebrates World Kindness Day

by with No Comment Uncategorized

Today is World Kindness Day. While every day would be a great day to practice basic human decency, some people are nasty assbags with no regard for others. If you’re one of those walking masterpieces of jackholery, here’s a wild idea: try being kind for ONE WHOLE DAY and see what it does. For example, let’s say you’re the personal assistant to someone who lives in a building with other residents. When you’re walking out of the building’s front door just in front of a neighbor who is holding his 17-year-old blind dog and leading his other pupper on a leash, maybe – and I’m just spitballing here – don’t let the door slam in their face, you self-absorbed piece of human garbage. And if said neighbor thoughtfully moves your precious Tesla charging cable to prevent damage (gasp – the audacity of helping!), perhaps, don’t show up at his door and berate him for protecting your property. Wild concept: Show some gratitude for his thoughtfulness. Consider saying “thank you,” you self-important, unreasonable, entitled, high-handed weenie.

FFS people, be kind! Rewind!

Happy International Left-Handers Day! 🖐

Did you know that in the 1600s, lefties were suspected of witchcraft? Fast forward to today, and we’re still navigating a world designed for righties. From scissors to can openers, life’s full of little challenges for the left-handed among us.

Even language hasn’t been kind – check a thesaurus and you might find some surprisingly negative synonyms for “left-handed.” (Have you ever been accused of giving a left-handed compliment?) But lefties in good company! Some of the world’s most creative minds have been southpaws.

To celebrate this most important of holidays, I’ve put together a playlist featuring 30 incredible left-handed musicians. From rock legends to pop icons, these artists have left their mark on music history.

Hit shuffle on any classic soul playlist and chances are, you’ll land on the unmistakable voice of Al Green. His smooth, expressive vocals and heartfelt lyrics have captivated audiences for over five decades, solidifying his place as a legend in the music industry.

Green’s sound is a perfect blend of soul and gospel. Tracks like “Let’s Stay Together” and “Take Me to the River” showcase his incredible range, effortlessly shifting from powerful declarations of love to introspective pleas. But his music goes beyond technical prowess. Green imbues every song with a raw sincerity that resonates deeply with listeners.

Green’s accolades speak for themselves. He’s a Grammy Award winner (11 times!), a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and has even been recognized by Rolling Stone as one of the greatest artists of all time. But perhaps the most telling testament to his impact is the enduring popularity of his music. These songs, filled with raw emotion and genuine feeling, continue to resonate with listeners across generations. So hit play, let Al Green’s voice wash over you, and experience the magic for yourself.
