TURNTABLETUESDAYS

Not a conspiracy, but just a thought. I feel that there is a segment of the population of the US (and other places) that sees Covid-19 as a  kind of a “cull” of what it sees as weak, unproductive, or generally distasteful (to them) portions of the population. 

I’m not arguing that they are actually doing anything about it, but I suspect that they may be quietly, inwardly smiling and thinking it’s a good thing, it’s about time, let it happen.And the dummies out there who scorn science, refuse the mask and social distancing, and who flock to beaches, and Trump speeches, and crowded venues are doing their work for them.  

Meet Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the black woman who invented that rock and roll sound 

You know what’s sad, before I even read this article I was ready to refute this because I grew up believing Chuck Berry created Rock and roll. It’s said how so many knew of this great woman yet none spoke on her greatness.

I also discovered Big Mama Thornton, who’s another hugely influential early inventor of rock and roll — I’m pretty sure Hound Dog was originally popularized by her, before Elvis stole it.

Love Sister Rosetta Tharpe! #BlackGirlMagic
