Robert Palmer - Sneakin' Sally
Through The Alley - 1974 (2021 US reissue)

With a ‘who’s who’ of backing musicians, Bob on his solo debut here puts down a marker for blue-eyed soul. It’s outstanding…even my sugar puffs are grooving.

Jony Ive would never in a million years have allowed KDE to become such a hot mess of an UI. The development effort and results of 6 are amazing, really, gargantuan. But some of those UI choices, oh man. You can't run a project by committee, it shows in the result. You need a Jobsian approach.

#nowplaying Vinegar Joe - Vinegar Joe (1972). The band that featured Elkie Brooks and Robert Palmer on vocals. Excellent stuff. #onmyturntable #myrecordcollection #vinegarjoe

When I was 17, me and and a bunch of friends blagged our way into Hull University Student Union to see this band.
It was a brilliant gig.

Of course at the time, no-one had heard of Elkie Brooks and Robert Palmer.
I believe it was probably Keef Hartley on drums too.

Barbara W. Tuchman: Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-45 (Stilwell i amerykańskie doświadczenie w Chinach 1911-45)

Stilwell był utalentowanym lingwistą, ale słabym politykiem i jeszcze gorszym wojskowym – zrozumiem argumentację twierdzącą, że był jednak gorszym politykiem niż wojskowym. Chociaż spędził w Chinach tyle lat i opanował język w piśmie i mowie na poziomie, którego mogę szczerze pozazdrościć, to chyba niewiele zrozumiał z otaczającej go rzeczywistości.
