IN THE STILL OF A WINTER’S NIGHT, EVEN AS THE WORLD KEEPS FALLING APART AT A RAPID PACE, THE EARTH KEEPS TURNING, TURNING, TURNING… OUR NOCTURNAL THOUGHTS TURN TO PEACE, LOVE, THE SOUND OF A CLOTHES DRYER GENTLY HUMMING, THE FLASH OF A FALLING STAR, AND, OF COURSE, THE MUSIC OF BARRY WHITE (1944-2003), THAT HIGH PRIEST OF GROWLING, COOING, LUSHLY SEDUCTIVE SOUL. VALENTINE’S DAY IS COMING. TIME TO PLAY WHITE’S “NEVER, NEVER GONNA GIVE YA UP” (1973) AT FULL VOLUME, SURRENDERING TO THE MASTER’S CALL: “YOU GOT IT TOGETHER, BABY.”
