Cloudy Wings
The sky was quite cloudy the other day. From time to time the Sun sent its spear alike rays through the thin clouds. On my way to the Danube this cloud formation have drawn my attention, so here I am sharing this panorama assembled by Google.

Vinyl
People are saying that Vinyl, the TV series, has a great soundtrack, and it really has.
I say that Vinyl is about people, people and their passions, excitement, families, joy, struggles, happiness, rage, anger, job, success and failure…
The above are wrapped around music, or wrapped in music, all sort of music: disco, funk, blues, rock-n-roll…
Vinyl being music related, one might say that is about musicians, yet a closer look reveals three categories involved one way or another: musicians, “recording men”, and fans and listeners.
The first ones, the musicians, don’t give a s*!t about money, yet they need them to eat, to drink, to have a joint… They are the fuel of the engine; rocket fuel; rock it!
The “recording men” along with the staff from their companies, “feel” the music in terms of money and jobs (cutting jobs, or keeping jobs). And there are people with (dirty) money behind them too. They don’t really care about the artists, about the musicians. They need the musicians in order to keep the music industry alive, and keep the money spinning, spinning faster than an LP on the turntable. This is the actual engine that brings the sound waves to our ears!
The listeners in general, and the fans in particular, are the grease, the oil that keeps moving this industry's engine along with its gears.
Either you like music or not, this TV series, Vinyl, is definitely worth watching, because it’s not only about music; it’s about people!

Created by Mick Jagger & Martin Scorsese & Rich Cohen and Terence Winter, this new drama series is set in 1970s New York. A ride through the sex- and drug-addled music business at the dawn of punk, disco, and hip-hop, the show is seen through the eyes of a record label president, Richie Finestra, played by Bobby Cannavale, who is trying to save his company and his soul without destroying everyone in his path.

Both are worth watching!

Death Is Up Above
 |
| Death Is Up Above, (c) Mihai Midus, 2015 |
Fear not! This is just another arrangement made by Google wich combined two of my photos depicting October clouds. Would you give it another name? I guess not!
I've heard that these days Death took tens of lives in Brussels. Yesterday an aunt died of cancer. The sister of a high school mate died of this disease a few days ago. And this news came too from a friend about an acquintance... So Death is up above.
The favorite quote of a beautiful friend is a Lao Tzu saying:
"Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides."
