What's going on with this thread... A PUNK FEST? Hasn't Punk Rock died out yet?

They are so good at anti political ****!
Really? You don't like any punk?
Okay then, for you piercethevale, apolitical blues!

Littlefeat? One of my favorite bands...with or without, Lowell George...but better when He was.
It's not that I dislike punk, as a whole, just the majority of what I've heard.
It's been said, and written the The Kinks are the original Punk Rock band, I agree to a certain extent... but, then again, the same might be said of the Rolling Stones soon afterward, and even Blue Cheer, as for an American band.
Iggy Pop aka "The Godfather of Punk" has done some good stuff, and if possibly you are unaware... Michael Erlewine early pioneer in the field of astrological software and astrologer, himself, was once a member of Iggy's group "The Stooges", I believe, but definitely one of the groups Iggy played with if not them.
Lou Reed could definitely be said to have been "punk at times and, so too, Jonathon Richman....and I just love John Cale's own rendition of Pablo Picasso... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFSbLwAy5BQ
For today's era of Covid 19 : Especially those like me who use to enjoy the restaurants as a weekly activity, often twice a week:
There are large Buffets, Chinese and American ones partially started, almost finished, now put on hold. Many will just go belly up who we use to enjoy.
Big Yellow Taxi
Joni Mitchell
They pave paradise, they put up a parking lot
A pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always go to show
You never know what you got till it's gone?
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.
They took all the trees, they put them in a tree museum
They charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them
Don't it always go to show
You never know what you got till it's gone?
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.
Hey farmer, farmer, put away the D.D.T
Give me spots on my apples but leave the birds and the bees, please
Don't it always go to show
You never know what you got till it's gone?
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.
Late last night I heard my screen door slam
A big yellow bulldozer took away the house and land
Don't it always go to show
You never know what you got till it's gone?
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.

Sounds, like you don't like the hard core punk. Understandable, it wasn't about musicality.
Little Feat is probably my favorite band. Ever. I just recently found Lowell's solo album on CD that he put out within a month of his heart attack death. He was on tour when he died, apparently eating lots of greasy pizza.

This is a fabulous remake, live of a lot of their stuff. If you like them you will like this. Can't find any links to it on youtube, you might need to own it though.
No I haven't Opal, but my grandmother was born in Quebec, and we still have family there I"m sure.
I liked best, Joni Mitchell's other big hit - Its all about perspective of life for some of us I suppose. Reminds me of Buddha's sayings.

Both Sides Now
Joni Mitchell, Bo Stief, Bobo Moreno, Ole Kock Hansen
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say, "I love you," right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
Thanks for the information Pierce the Vale! about Joni Mitchell's health
Actually I was curious myself about Joni Mitchell's health issues, mainly because of a daughter she had given up at birth, (the girl was adopted into a good family), but eventually tracked Joni down in California, and I think moved in with her....
The "Hi, I'm your daughter, and you are my mom" thing didn't last long or well. From all I read, it ended rather poorly, and Joni M. called the police a few times.
Background: https://jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=82
I don't think they (the adopted daughter and Joni Mitchell are currently in touch) last I read. The relationship became acrimonious.
I didn't know however it was that rare disease she had. I know she has a woman who is her caretaker now and she says she is doing quite well last I read.
Considering all of this background I even looked at her natal at the time - I think she is a Scorpio Sun - (its been awhile since I last checked):
Joni and her new found daughter (short lived reunion) with Lauren Gibb:

In 2015, (at age 71) she was found unconscious, but "came back" and regained with the caretaker's help:
