While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy
8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture ready (Luke
17:37 means no COVID just as circling eagles don't have COVID) and
pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6) Father in
Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy Spirit
(Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to always
say/write that we're "wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways including
especially caring to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John 15:12

Long-COVID is a very big "iceberg" that afflicts millions of Britons
and is possibly the root cause of most if not all of the excess
"non-COVID" deaths in the U.K. at the moment during this on-going
pandemic. Folks with Long-COVID typically no longer test positive with
either PCR or antigen and thus are being categorized as "non-COVID"
possibly unto their deaths from either suicide (Long-COVID-brain) or
heart attack (Long-COVID-heart).

>>> University — launched Saturday night without two very important
>>> presenters in attendance: Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa.
>>>
>>> Bob Santelli, the Archives’ executive director, broke the news that the
>>> Springsteens were both diagnosed with COVID-19 just hours after
>>> Springsteen took a final bow Friday night at the Prudential Center,
>>> wrapping the first part of his 2023 tour with the E Street Band.
>>>
>>> “It broke our hearts around 6 a.m. this morning when I got a call that
>>> two of the most important people who were supposed to be here, Bruce
>>> Springsteen and Patti Scialfa, unfortunately came down with COVID.”
>>>
>>> While the news was met with silence in the crowd, host Jon Stewart
>>> lightened the mood, joking, “They’re alive. Don’t overreact. You can
>>> still see them in concert. They’re home sitting by the fire eating
>>> French onion soup.”
>>>
>>> Despite his absence physically, Springsteen was feeling spry enough to
>>> tape two videos presenting awards to Darlene Love and fellow E Street
>>> Band member Steven Van Zandt.
>>>
>>> Stewart joked that Springsteen “with COVID looks better than me,” adding
>>> that he appeared “eerily healthy.”
>>>
>>> “Aren’t you supposed to have sniffles or something?” he said. “We shut
>>> down the world for a year and a half.”
>>>
>>> Springsteen was supposed to receive a proclamation from New Jersey
>>> Governor Phil Murphy, who was in attendance with his wife, Tammy.
>>> Murphy, who joked that some in the audience were hoping that he was the
>>> one with COVID, unveiled a proclamation declaring Sept. 23, 2023,
>>> Springsteen’s birthday, “Bruce Springsteen Day” in the Garden State.
>>>
>>> “I can’t believe it’s taken this long,” Murphy said.
>>>
>>> “It’s not a rest area, but it’s nice,” quipped Stewart, an obvious
>>> reference to the Jon Bon Jovi rest stop and others in New Jersey. “It’s
>>> not like taking a whiz to ‘Livin’ on a Prayer,’ but it’ll do,”
>>>
>>> The evening was a celebration of rock and soul music, honoring Van
>>> Zandt, Love, Steve Earle and Sam Moore of Sam and Dave for their musical
>>> contributions and career. Presenters included E Street Band bassist
>>> Garry Tallent honoring Earle and Southside Johnny Lyon inducting Moore,
>>> with Van Zandt’s band, the Disciples of Soul, serving as the house band.
>>>
>>> The joyful tone was set early as the Disciples of Soul performed a
>>> medley of songs associated with each artist, starting with Love’s “A
>>> Fine, Fine Boy” and the Sam and Dave hit “Soul Sister, Brown Sugar.” The
>>> short set included Earle’s “Hard-Core Troubadour” and Van Zandt’s “I Am
>>> a Patriot.”
>>>
>>> Tallent inducted Earle, crediting him for his decision to move to Nashville.
>>>
>>> “When you’ve been around music as long as I’ve been, and if you’re lucky
>>> to come across an artist whose musical influences are so broad and whose
>>> understanding of the importance and meaning of music is so great that
>>> sometimes you just have to sit back and admire the genius — I play with
>>> basically one of those guys,” he said. “Steve Earle is one of those guys
>>> too.”
>>>
>>> Earle, who performed his song “Copperhead Road” after accepting his
>>> award, said that although he has other awards — including not just three
>>> Grammys but a fleeting honor as the “fan of the game” on a Jumbotron at
>>> Yankee Stadium — this one meant “a lot to me because of the name over
>>> the door of the organization giving out this award.”
>>>
>>> Springsteen wore a denim jacket and looked quite alert despite a late
>>> night in Newark the night before at a show where he performed for three
>>> hours and even did a shot with a fan from Avalon, NJ celebrating her
>>> 21st birthday. He saluted Love’s accomplishments and recounted how her
>>> relationship with Van Zandt and him dated back to seeing her perform in
>>> 1982 at a show where she sang his hit “Hungry Heart.”
>>>
>>> “By that time, Darlene had become this mysterious figure in the music
>>> industry who had made this bunch of amazing records and was considered
>>> one of the best, if not the best, of all the ’60s singers, male or
>>> female — and then in the ’70s suddenly disappeared,” he said. “As fate
>>> would have it, Darlene leaves the business to become a housekeeper in
>>> the ’70s. I’m sure there’s something equally bizarre, unjust and
>>> impossible to imagine,” he added, though little comparable came to mind.
>>>
>>> Love was overcome with emotion receiving her award, and celebrated by
>>> performing an uplifting version of “River Deep Mountain High” with the band.
>>>
>>> “I said I was going to laugh for the first five minutes but now I’m
>>> going to try not to cry,” Love said. “I love you, Stevie, with all my
>>> heart. My husband loves you. You know, it’s hard. You never know what

>>> the show and you say, why am I doing this? Why am I doing this? But it’s
>>> because of the gift that God has given me here and I truly intend to use
>>> it for the next 80.”
>>>
>>> Lyon was reverential inducting Moore, recalling how he and Van Zandt

>>>
>>> “One of those moments in your life, you hear that first Sam and Dave

>>>
>>> The 87-year-old Moore took the stage seated in a chair and lead the

>>>
>>> Springsteen appeared again on video to honor his friend Van Zandt and

>>> Springsteen reminisced about the first time the two met as teenagers at
>>> the Hullabaloo Club in Middletown, NJ and ” I found a rock ‘n’ roll
>>> partner in crime forever.”
>>>
>>> “Yes, we liked the same music, yes, we liked the same bands, and it was

>>> “Born in the USA,” “Bobby Jean.”
>>>
>>> “He does look kind of healthy, doesn’t he? — son of a bitch,” Van Zandt

>>>
>>> “This is nice to have a home for Bruce’s archives, and we’ll talk about

>>>
>>> “We were the luckiest generation ever growing up in a renaissance. I

>>> renaissance. And that was the ’60s,” he said. “Of course, we were taking

>>> soon realized that it was a very, very special time.”
>>>
>>> Van Zandt explained that the TeachRock initiative expands the standard
>>> S.T.E.M. basic curriculum of science, technology, engineering and math
>>> and adds an “A” for Arts, therefore transforming it to what he described
>>> as “S.T.E.A.M.”
>>>
>>> “You integrate the art into math, into engineering, and not as a
>>> separate entity, but actually part of that same discipline. And this is
>>> changing the way kids are starting to learn,” he said.
>>>
>>> The evening was capped by Van Zandt taking the stage to perform the song

>>> four honorees to the stage with Lyon to perform “It’s Been a Long Time,”
>>> “Hungry Heart” with Love on lead vocals, “Soul Man,” “Tenth Avenue
>>> Freeze Out” and “I Don’t Want to Go Home.”
>>>
