Stellar Corella

Sending this off to be made into our first 2-piece keychain! Will also be available as stickers.

Look familiar? It's based off our 2018 sleepy cockatiel from the Tiel With It set. Though I revisited that idea in a large painting, people were wanting the simpler sticker/design back. We have enough cockatiels, so how about a cockatoo? (corella/goffins)

Jeanette Jones - What Have You Got To Gain By Losing Me (1970?)

Another one of those artists who released just one 45, but left behind a treasure trove of great songs. Jeanette Jones came up the gospel choir Voices of Victory in San Francisco, but was convinced to try her hand at secular music. She has a great, expressive voice, but got little recognition until Kent Soul released this track in 2016.

Different anon, I don't know much about parrots would you be able to expand on why breeding them is unethical?

Only if you have the time / spoons!

I'm too lazy to get really detailed right now, but I don't think we should be breeding parrots to be kept as pets. They have far too complex needs for the average person to keep happy and healthy in their home. Even the very best homes I've ever seen aren't enough, and that includes myself.

I got involved at a parrot specific rescue in 2014 and now work at a vet clinic that sees birds. It's a way bigger surprise to see a parrot that is well cared for than it is to see a parrot that is being severely neglected.

Edit to add: Since you said you don't know much about parrots! They self mutilate pretty bad when they're depressed. Anything from just pulling out feathers to ripping holes in their skin with their beak. We see this all the time at the clinic and we saw it even more often at the rescue.

I have one mad idea (well, maybe not only one). I think John's 'Now And Then' grew out of 'Nobody’s Perfect' by Goffin and King. Not as a remake but as a sequel.

Look. Back to the egg (hah).

In the early 60-s The Beatles play 'Chains', 'Don't Ever Change', 'Take Good Care of My Baby' and the other cool Carole King and Gerry Goffin' songs, right?

Later John Lennon says,

'Well, first of all, Paul [McCartney] and I wanted to be the Goffin and King of England' (J. Wenner, 1971)

UPD (thanks a lot @the-paper-apricot for reminding about this moment in the interview):

John and Paul answer question about another composers people whose work they particularly admire ('The Lennon-McCartney Songbook', 1966),

Or even this, 'Early in their carier Paul and John reportedly had said that they hoped to becom the Goffin and King of the United Kingdom. I had taken this to mean not that they hoped to marry each other and live in New Jersey but that they aspired to be successful songrigters' (Carole King, 'A Natural Woman)

In 1962 Carole King recorded the beautiful 'Nobody’s Perfect',

I might have thought that other lips Could taste as sweet as your sweet lips Nobody's perfect Nobody's perfect We all make mistakes now and then

I might have thought that someone new Could give me truer love than you Nobody's perfect Nobody's perfect We all make mistakes now and then

And I paid for them every hour Every minute we're apart Anyone can tell I learned my lesson well Can't you find forgiveness in your hеart?

You said goodbye the other night But don't bе sure you're doin' right Nobody's perfect Nobody's perfect We all make mistakes now and then Yes, we all make mistakes now and then

It's unlikely John and Paul didn't hear it.

And in 1977 John sings,

I know it's true It's all because of you And if I make it through It's all because of you

And now and then If we must start again Well, we will know for sure That I love you

I don't wanna lose you, oh no, no Abuse you or confuse you Oh no, no, sweet darlin' But if you have to go, away If you have to go, well you the reason

Now and then I miss you Oh, now and then I want you to return to me 'Til you return to me

Yeah, I know, it's only in my headcanon but I think the Goffin and King song spinned in John's head when he wrote his one. And 'Nobody’s Perfect' for me is like John understands his own mistakes, accepts the reality and thinks about Paul as real Paul not about as an ideal figure on the top of the pedestal. And John's 'Now and Then' is the next step.

@i-am-the-oyster, what do you think about this idea?

Earl-Jean - I’m Into Something Good (1964)

This Goffin-King song was made famous by Herman’s Hermits, but this is the wonderful original by Earl-Jean McCrea of the Cookies.
