Out of the blue. I’ve spent a huge amount of time on Spanish translations of Harry Potter. I’ve also been watching Latin countries play soccer, but I’m alright.
The Spanish Flu was a global influenza pandemic that swept the world between 1918 and 1920, infecting an estimated one-third of the world’s population. Despite its name, the outbreak likely did not originate in Spain; Spain’s uncensored reporting during World War I simply made the disease more visible internationally. It was a smaller pandemic than COVID, but it was still deadly.
Can’t get my mind off retro music. Mario Juan Valez’s story is a movie reviewed by the Harlem Herald. Lionheart’s underground started as far south as Puerto Rico. It began with Nueva hitz. It ended as my last laugh.

Jefferson Airplane emerged in the mid-1960s as one of the defining bands of the San Francisco psychedelic rock scene, blending folk, blues, and experimental rock into a distinctive sound. With classic albums such as Surrealistic Pillow and hit songs like “Somebody to Love” and “White Rabbit”, the group became closely associated with the counterculture movement. As the original lineup evolved throughout the 1970s, several members departed, leading to a new musical direction.
The band reformed as Jefferson Starship in the 1970s, shifting toward a more polished rock style that produced major hits including “Miracles” and “Jane”. By the mid-1980s, the group shortened its name to Starship and embraced a mainstream pop-rock sound, achieving worldwide success with chart-topping singles such as “We Built This City”, “Sara”, and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now”. Although each incarnation reflected changing musical trends, all three versions shared a common lineage that made the power group an enduring part of rock history.
