Your favorite album covers........

 After ALL the heavy discussions we have had recently on religion and politics, it's time for something a bit lighter. Wouldn't you agree? I mean, you DO agree, right?

So, the following idea is courtesy of our friend Alex who yesterday posted this:

    Mind you, the real cover looks like this:



    So I got to thinking, what iconic album covers did you ever own or have a particular liking for?

    How about this controversial one?


    You must all remember the lawsuit concerning this cover.
    A judge in California has dismissed a lawsuit filed against former band members of Nirvana over their iconic Nevermind album cover.

    At one time I actually had the original cover for this album:

    It contains plain brown cardboard with "The Who Live At Leeds" printed on it in plain blue or red block letters as if stamped on with ink (on the original first English pressing of 300, this stamp is black).

    Alas, in my reckless youth, I misplaced that album, sighs 😕

    Now for those of you who KNOW your album covers and what those covers were supposed to represent must KNOW why the following one is considered truly iconic:



    Anyone here doesn't know why this one is still considered iconic?

    The resulting photograph, which was used as the cover image for The Beatles second last album “Abbey Road,” has become iconic.

    That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

    Image
    Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

    The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

    The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

    Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

    Image
    Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
