What a loss.
A legend.
A voice.
The great Charlie Pride has died.
It was COVID.
He became a superstar in a genre where at the time most every one of his peers was white.
2 of his hits were "Kiss an Angel Good Morning,"& •Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone"

One of my favorites
And there’s this gem which I’m listening to now

THREAD: Ashford hospital in Puerto Rico received a single box of 975 Pfizer COVID19 doses in what’s described to be, by a person with either knowledge of the situation, with special approval by the health department.
No other hospitals are getting vaccines today. Ashord, I’m told, was set to receive its own box shipment of vaccines on Wednesday, but instead, the health dept advanced them a box with the understanding they would give their box, delivered Wednesday, to the health dept.
Ashford planned to vaccinate someone today. That would’ve made them the first on the island to deliver a vaccine injection. They press was notified. Then Ashford said the Governors office called and asked them to wait until tomorrow.

The only relative of #BrandonBernard’s family who witnessed his execution last night told me that when the lethal injection began Brandon started to recite the Lord’s Prayer. Brandon began: our father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will...”
“Thy will” were his last two words.
On Brandon’s last social visit with a member of family, his aunt shared with him the scripture verse Hebrews 9:27, which reads “and as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment...”

A man who arrived in Puerto Rico on a flight from the U.S., yesterday, attacked a P.R. National Guard soldier who twice told him to put on a mask at the baggage claim in San Juan, according to @PRNationalGuard. The man also refused to fill out mandatory travel declaration forms.
The man was taken into custody by police in Puerto Rico. He and his female passenger, who was also allegedly involved in the confrontation, have been identified as Adrien Williams and Ashely Nicole Williams.
Correction: Adrien & Ashley William, not ‘s’ on William.
The soldier who approached Adrien William at the baggage claim reported to his supervisors that he and other guardsmen smelled alcohol on his breath.

Starting a thread with COVID related messages I’m getting from residents in South Dakota: “As a person living in Sioux Falls, with a young and growing family, I've never experienced such a level of disappointment in the place where I live...
“...I’m embarrassed and disgusted by Kristi Noem's approach to "leadership". That said, I still believe that there are so many good and intelligent people in this state...”
“... This brings me to my next point, which is that based on what I've seen in the replies to your tweets, people living in South Dakota are being perceived by people in other places as stupid and therefore deserving of death via covid. This couldn't be further from the truth...”

Sioux Falls, S.D. bar called “Shenanigans” is hosting a #goobletillyouwobble tonight.
S.D. leads the world, per capita, in daily COVID deaths.
Sioux Falls has a mask mandate but officials stripped it of any enforcement.
Businesses are asked to police themselves & their customers.
The Facebook post
Sioux Falls doesn’t have a capacity limit for businesses either. The smaller city of Brookings does. That’s about an hour north of Sioux Falls. It’s a college town with a mask mandate and a capacity mandate and it’s among the lowest infection rate among cities in the state.
