Neil Young on Spotify with Howard Stern

Neil doesn't even say the dude's name. What even was that covidiot's name? Joel Broseph?

Et tu, M.I.A.?

Congratulations to 2022's biggest covidiots!
To be anti vaccine during a pandemic is bad enough, but to defend Alex Jones while promoting health harming misinformation? All while yearning for nuclear armaggedon? M.I.A. will forever be M.I.A. from our playlists.

You may be over it, but COVID isn't over you yet

COVID has been deadly and/or debilitating for the elderly and immunocompromised, but did you know that it doesn't harm just those groups?

Covid is currently the #3 cause of death in the US. In the first few months of 2022 Covid was the number one cause of death for all Americans aged 45+.

Those who contracted Covid early appear to be dying 10 years earlier than they should be.

Covid likely does irreparable damage to your body.

Exercising your immune system by getting sick with viruses does not strengthen it, it likely weakens it. The "hygiene hypothesis" which purports that we benefit from exposure to dirt and germs, does not appear to apply to viruses, but to bacteria. The new "immunity debt" idea (which sounds similar to the hygiene hypothesis), is likely wrong, unless we all need exposure to HIV, malaria and polio?

With that in mind, COVID continues to take lives. Here are just a few of our musical brothers and sisters who've lost their battles with this novel virus:

DJ Kay Slay, aka Keith Grayson, died on April 17, 2022 at age 55 after fighting COVID for 4 months.
