Given that unvaccinated people will be going without masks here in the US as well as those who are vaccinated (who knows who's who?), I hope this doesn't backfire . . . Seems a tad premature to me. I'll need to continue wearing mine, anyway.

Tulsa is an amazing little city, where I spent many happy times pre-Covid, especially at Cain's Ballroom. The Guthrie Center is worth a visit just in itself. Plus you can now visit the house where they filmed The Outsiders!

I only saw Tina once, with the Ikettes and her POS husband--despite whom, it was an absolutely electric performance and I'll never forget the way she shimmied across the stage.
