Happy (end of) Saturday #JukeboxFridayNight
My #LifeWellLived today conisited of moving my kid out of one dorm and into another so they can continue to stay at uni over the summer and work. Then driving back around the M25 with no working air conditioning in 27 degree heat with high humidity!
Anyways, I've got your playlist for you:

Anika Moa singing NZ singer/ songwriter MAHINAARANGI TOCKER's Heart Winds.
(Mahinaarangi died in 2008 at age 52. Still missed by those who knew her and her music.)
Nadia Reid + string quartet perform MAHINAARANGI TOCKER's Ending
“You wanted to mend me but I was not broken
You wanted to believe me but I was not lying
You wanted to change the weather and hold me in a storm
I’m dressed for leaving
I’m dressed for walking away”
The Tocker whānau, Hinewairangi, Kīmai and Huirangi sing MAHINAARANGI TOCKER's Forever
“I will not walk these streets of ages into forever alone.”
Mahinarangi Tocker singing "Love me as I am" (audio + backgrounds only)
The Beatles - Now And Then (apologies for tech trickery, courtesy of NZer Peter Jackson's team, but without it the song wouldn't have left the page)
And now and then
If we must start again
Well, we will know for sure
That I will love you
The Traveling Wilburys - End Of The Line
Well, it's all right
Riding around in the breeze
Well, it's all right
If you live the life you please
Well, it's all right
Doin' the best you can
Well, it's all right
As long as you lend a hand
George Harrison - My Sweet Lord
(video with a cast of the usual suspects seeking the the song. A celebration 50 years since George Harrison released it and 24 years since George died)
George Harrison - Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)
George Harrison & Ringo Starr - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
A Tribute to George Harrison singing one of George's songs, Paul McCartney - All Things Must Pass
Bob Dylan - Living The Blues (Live On The Johnny Cash TV Show) (without blue moods some singers would have fewer songs)
I've been living the blues
Every night without you
I think that it's best
I soon get some rest
And forget my pride
But I can't deny this feeling
That I carry for you deep down inside
If you'd see me this way
You'd come back and you'd stay
Oh, how could you refuse?
Bob Dylan's lost performance - Song to Woody (for Woody Guthrie, introduced by George Harrison of The Beatles)
And performed by Timothée Chalamet: «Song to Woody» (Bob Dylan) - 2024

David Johansen of the New York Dolls was a trendsetter and a firebrand, and the world is better for having had him in it.
"Memories hold onto illusion
Cause we're just human
And that's all right"
