Life goes on, man! The July 2023 Challenge!

22. “The rug really tied the room together.”
Play something that you think was well composed

Stevie Wonder "Innervisions" (1973 Tamla Motown; 1977 japanese reissue)
Stevie is pretty much a one man band on most of this record and it's brilliant both musically and lyrically from front to back. And you could say "Higher Ground" ties the album together really nicely.

I think Moondog AKA The Viking of 6th Ave. woulda vibed well with The Dude. Moondog was a blind street perform in New York City in the 50 and 60s who would recite poetry and perform music dressed as a Viking. This was one of his classical compositions from1969 was recorded with a 50 piece orchestra and included several musical instruments that he invented.

 
23. “She’s not my special lady, she’s my f*****g lady friend. I’m just helping her conceive, man!”
Play something about relationships

Right from the onset on the introductory eponymous track:

🎵 Goddamn, man child 🎵
🎵 You fucked me so good that I almost said, "I love you" 🎵
🎵 You're fun and you're wild 🎵
🎵 But you don't know the half of the shit that you put me through 🎵
🎵 Your poetry's bad and you blame the news 🎵
🎵 But I can't change that and I can't change your mood 🎵
 
Day 19: Maude Lebowski: “Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski?”
The Dude: “‘Scuse me?”
Maude Lebowski: “Sex. The physical act of love. Coitus. Do you like it?”
The Dude: “I was talking about my rug.”
Maude Lebowski: “You’re not interested in sex?”
The Dude: “You mean coitus?”
Play something sexy

I'm back!
