Gloria Steinem is no longer with us. An icon that never stopped working for the rights of women and girls. As a teenager in the 70s I was eagerly awaiting every issue of Mz. Part of my education to feminism Thanks for everything RIP @womensmediacntr #GloriaSteinem #Feminism #RIP #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

TV21 Biography by Andy Kellman The new wave band TV21 formed in the late '70s, comprising drummer Colin Maclean, guitarist Ally Palmer, bassist Neil Baldwin, and vocalist/guitarist Norman Rodger. The band took their name from Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson's fanzine. After releasing their first two singles on Powerbeat in early 1980, they recorded a session for John Peel's BBC radio program. Another pair of singles followed for the Demon label in 1981. Maclean split and was replaced by Ali Patterson, a former member of the Rezillos. Deram snapped the group up and issued A Thin Red Line in late 1981, the band's only long-player. Renowned producer and musician Ian Broudie (Original Mirrors, the Lightning Seeds), who had produced one of the group's earlier singles, loaned his skills to one of the songs on the record. Yet another single followed in early 1982, and the group's potential hit a peak when they opened a series of shows for the Rolling Stones as they toured Scotland. However, TV21 felt they had reached an impasse musically and opted to break up by the middle of the year. https://hvdommelen.nl/t/TV21.html

Basement Saints: Simon Molly (CH) Drums Anton Delen (RSA) Guitar & Vocals Robby Keys (AT) Hammond & Vocals Guitar, bass, and drums — the so-called holy trinity of rock ’n’ roll. That’s the legend, anyway. Basement Saints couldn’t care less. They show up without a bassist, dragging along a snarling Hammond organ and two damn Leslie cabinets, as if subtlety died sometime around 1973 and no one bothered to bury it. The whole thing feels hijacked straight out of the wild seventies. Ten minutes in and you’re itching to climb onto a chopper without a helmet, chain-smoke unfiltered cigarettes, and make questionable life choices in the company of unshaven strangers. The fingerprints of ’70s and Southern rock are everywhere — loud, greasy, and impossible to deny. A Basement Saints show leaves you vibrating, slightly rattled, and painfully aware that you were born too late — stranded in the wrong decade, ears ringing, heart racing, wondering how the hell this still feels so alive. https://hvdommelen.nl/b/BasementS.html

Si hay algo q este mundial nos deja bien en claro, es la paridad que cada vez se en las competiciones. Todos los partidos con sus matices, se definen por detalles. Hay un cambio de era, no aparecen mas los Brasil, Alemania e Italia que dominaron los 70s, 80s, 90s y aparecen los nuevos reyes como ser Argentina, Francia, Inglaterra y España. Aparecen otros muy interesantes como Marruecos, USA y Noruega. Colombia también tiene con que pelear. Gran mundial estamos viendo. Hoy encima tenemos Bicho o Yamal en Octavos. Tremendo. Los leo. Bicho o Yamal? #Mundial2023 #Fútbol #Deporte

Today that pension system is not sustainable because the requirements are different and because it is no longer necessary to buy social peace, at least not as it was in the 60s and 70s. (Original: 19/19. Hoy aquel sistema de pensiones no es sostenible porque los requerimientos son otros y porque hoy ya no es necesario comprar la paz social, al menos no como lo era en los años 60 y 70. https://t.co/Jx5w5GckPS) #PensionReform #SocialJustice #EconomicSustainability #Thearticledoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries #sotherearenocountrycodestoreturn.
