Founding father of what now? NPR tries so hard to not over-white itself but continually ends up with bullshit headlines like this.

What’s better than his music still

Like what 10 years after Sister Rosetta Tharp did...

Remembering The Beatles' Rooftop Gig, 50 Years Later, With Someone Who Was ThereAll Songs Considered: Ken Mansfield was the U.S. Manager for Apple records when The Beatles played their final gig on a rooftop in London — and one of the few people who was actually with the band to witness it. It's amazing, from the time they burst into notoriety with I Wanna Hold Your Hand in 1963, it was only 6 yrs later and they are sick of the insanity of such meteoric fame and intrusion into their lives. From the incredibly creepy sound of your obviously extremely biased reporting on Venezuela calling for an illegal coup in Venezuela and blood for oil, maybe you haven't seen these healthy thousands supporting Maduro despite savage sanctions! At Peace Pavilion West, we have a new, inspirational mural painted on the ceiling of The Human Pagoda. It depicts Saints John, Paul, George and Ringo locking arms with Mother Mary, Our Lady Of The Global Village. LoveIsAllYouNeed
