Those of a certain age will recall his years of excellence in journalism - for our now-endangered PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) While commercial networks had Walter Cronkite for trustworthy reports, PBS had decades of Bill Moyers. 🙏 🕯️

So sad, yet he lived a long and impactful life… God Only Knows*

* A song that Sir Paul McCartney said is the greatest pop song ever written.

As Tears Go By ...

https://youtu.be/rK0CR3kUEsA

This song was the first song I learned to play on an acoustic guitar, as a child... then into #FolkMusic #Dylan #Stones #Beatles and onward , ♾️

Her own version is what I first heard, but this... it is so lovingly performed, so beautiful... "official" Stones version, with the lyrics. As tears go by...
