Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

American bassist Anthony Jackson died at 73 on Sunday. He played with Philly Soul artists such as Billy Paul & jazz artists such as Chick Corea. His phased, echoey Wah Wah bassline on 1974 O’Jays song “For the Love of Money” is legendary #RIPAnthonyJackson m.youtube.com/watch?v=0exM...

Before “Electric Avenue,” Eddy Grant Melded Mod & Soul in The Equals

The UK group anticipated punk, glam, disco, and so much more.
