The quintessential 70s album, the perfect antidote to late-60s naivety. 'What's going on' is the definitive soundtrack to tumultuous times; an emotional marriage of soul and wisdom; maybe the best concept album ever recorded. And a serious contender for #5albums70sfinal

There are fewer news items about ACT Party's Tim Jago being convicted of sexually abusing minors, than of ex MP Golriz Gharaman being questioned at a supermarket. 🤬

A huge portion at the end of red dead redemption 2 is dedicated to role playing getting a mortgage and building a beautiful house on a meager wage. It feels like a weird joke on the aging millennials who are playing the game in their co living pods
