NEW YORK (AP) — It's a little late for John Leventhal to be considered a hot young thing in music. The thought of doing a solo record sort of creeped into my consciousness and, when the pandemic hit, I really couldn't avoid it. AP: How do you think a first John Leventhal album would have sounded if you made it 50 years ago? I don't think I would have made a good record 40 years ago because it wouldn't have been tempered by what I've learned. It felt more like creating a product, like it was someone in the record industry's “good idea.” And it is a good idea.

Sursa foto: APCanada: Au fost descoperite rămăşiţele a 215 copii indigeni îngropaţi pe terenul unei şcoli rezidenţialeRămăşiţele a 215 copii, unii cu vârsta de până în trei ani, au fost găsite pe locul unei foste şcoli rezidenţiale pentru copii indigeni, o descoperire pe care prim-ministrul canadian Justin Trudeau a descris-o vineri drept sfâşietoare, informează Reuters și Agerpres. Sistemul şcolilor rezidenţiale din Canada, care a separat forţat copiii indigeni de familiile lor, a constituit un genocid cultural, conform concluziilor unei anchete din 2015, care a durat şase ani. S-a constatat că un număr de peste 4.100 de copii au murit în perioada frecventării acestor şcoli rezidenţiale. Moartea celor 215 copii, îngropaţi pe terenul celei mai mari şcoli rezidenţiale din Canada, se pare că nu a fost inclusă în acest bilanţ şi nici nu a fost documentată până la această descoperire. Într-o declaraţie, şeful regional al Adunării Primelor Naţiuni din Columbia Britanică, Terry Teegee, a apreciat că descoperirea acestor morminte "reîmprospătează durerea şi pierderea tuturor Primelor Naţiuni din Columbia Britanică".
