If you like to listen to jazz music, you should already know something about #CharlieParker aka #TheBird but even if you think you know everything that you need to know about him, here's a link to a very nice primer about him (with audio hyperlinks) printed in the #NYTimes that may tell you more . . .

But but but... why❓

1. #Trump wrote everyone gets $2,000 (from the taxes #tariffs companies gave to govt.)
2. "#DOGE halts yearly payment of $2.5 millionto Obama for royalties linked to #Obamacare"
3. "We've never give any money or substantial money really, to prisoners, illegals who come into our country"

All #disinformation #distraction #fakenews, that's why, 😅

Jimi Hendrix Opens for The Monkees on a 1967 Tour; Then Flips Off the Crowd and Quits
It’s easy to dismiss The Monkees. Critics and listeners have been doing it since the sixties, although the band has also come in for its share of reappraisals, particularly for their psych-rock album Head.
