Today in the news,
In the spirit of the Italians singing from their balconies, Frank Black has an idea to share joy and show solidarity in this time of crisis. From the man himself:
"When I was a boy, we used to bang pots and pans outside at midnight on New Year's Eve. I've been inspired seeing those clips of the quarantined Italians singing from their balconies. I propose this action to you today:
No matter your state of health or political views or age or education or philosophy, I ask you to greet the night at 6 PM local time by banging the pot long enough so that I can hear you, but not so long that you disturb our present contemplation.
If you have no pot to play then play two spoons; play your tune on your porch and in your garden and at your window sill. And if you are feeling too ill to come to the window, I hope you will hear us banging for you and you can smile with us!
I'll be listening for you tomorrow night and every night at 6 PM.
On that note, we at FrankBlack.Net wish all of you, your friends, families, and communities, health and a return to a life more filled with community and each other as soon as possible.
-Dean
