Lockdown Songs
One year "Corona" - what a silly anniversary.* We're in lockdown. Every day is almost the same. And the outlook is not any better. Maybe in summer? Maybe. How to keep morale high? I'll try it with music. Every day anew:

Feb 1: Yesterday - in a lovely Clubhouse discussion about great text the year 1988 came up twice (With a quote around the movie "Rain Man" and someone quoted Umberto Eco Foucaults Pendulum). So todays song should be from 1988. And Google offers as first search hit: Phil Collins A groovy kind of love. Perfect song for this foggy Monday - and Mr. Collins celebrated his 70s this weekend.
