u may have read about singer tony bennett's ordeal with alzheimer's disease in aarp magazine. according to this recently published article, at age 95 the disease is quite advanced and disabling. he's effectively lost his mind. but amazingly, he's still able to sing and perform songs he knows well on stage to an audience. his talent hasn't left him.
i just watched what has been billed as his farewell performance on network tv, cbs, with co-star lady gaga. knowing his story, i became emotional watching them, especially him, and the audience's appreciation and his ability to still appreciate being so appreciated. lady gaga, a prodigious talent herself, lent a lot of class to the show, helping to highlight tony and his still impressive voice and stage persona. it's sad knowing how fleeting life is.https://www.google.com/search?q=tony+bennett+aarp&rlz=1C1CHKW_enUS486US743&oq=tony+bennett+aarp&aqs=chrome..69i57.4874j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8on a less uplifting note, it's holiday time again. time once more for big media in america, including the highly respected pbs, to promote religious (primarily christian) propaganda, like the 'documentaries' it's FRONTLINE program is airing tonight that attempt to lend creedence to the evidence free idea that jesus christ actually lived, that the christian gospels are at least somewhat historical, rather than completely made up bs.https://www.atheists.org/activism/resources/did-jesus-exist/https://www.google.com/search?q=pbs+frontline+jesus+to+christ&rlz=1C1CHKW_enUS486US743&oq=pbs+frontline+jesus&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j0l2.10037j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
