"New and Revisited" 

...the debut single from the foundational punk rock band The Ramones.  Released in February 1976, it was also the opening track on the band's self-titled debut album.

The Ramones were an American punk rock band formed in the New York City neighborhood Forest Hills, Queens in 1974 - just ten miles from the neighborhood where I grew up.

The Ramones were unrelated - their pseudonyms were inspired by Paul McCartney, who used the stage name Paul Ramon when the Beatles were still calling themselves The Silver Beetles. 

I fancy myself a Green Day fan so I don't know how I forgot listening to this one years ago.  Billie Joe Armstrong turns in a powerful vocal performance in this masterpiece of self-searching.  It's a short punk version of  a theme explored at great length in T.S. Eliot's "Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock".  Of course Eliot's J Alfred is much older than the protagonist of Oh Love. But, get this...Eliot wrote his masterpiece when he was 22.  

"Here with Me" by American singer-songwriter D4vd was released in September 2022.  It's a beautiful ballad of growing old with someone you love.  

The legendary Peter Tosh played with Bob Marley and the Wailers before going solo.  While several of his solo music videos appeared in WITW, I hadn't heard this one until late in July.  Learn more about this iconic reggae musician and fighter for social justice at his website.
