Who remembers watching us perform "Iron Man" on Beat Club TV in 1970? 🇩🇪

"While the man born Herman Blount in Alabama (though he would later cite Saturn as his true home) left his terrestrial form back in 1993, the influence of Sun Ra on musicians both hugely popular and deep underground is so vast that his gravitational pull goes well beyond the confines of jazz music."

The only DM record I like, I remember riding my bike to the record store when I was 16 to buy the cassette the day it came out, I still listen to this release, it never gets old.

The Trump Administration attempted to make an example of Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. Instead, Minnesotans set an example for the rest of the country that decency and compassion will always triumph over fear and division. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

I did a deep dive into EN with my kids during covid, they were not fans to say the least but they still reference them when making fun of my musical tastes, though I feel it awoke something in them.
