I've been listening to a fantastic podcast : A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs. https://www.500songs.com/
He's just reached #99 and has barely entered the 1960s, but the whole opening section has been riveting, talking about the early history of "rock-and-roll" and how different genres evolved in various directions. I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone who has the remotest interest in popular music. (And, as a disclosure, as someone who thought they weren't - particularly interested in popular music, I mean - I'm really loving it.) Each episode is about half-an-hour and it talks mostly about particular artists through the lens of their songs.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".
