Weekend Music Threefer


Today we're featuring music for another social- distancing weekend.

"Don't Stand So Close To Me," by The Police, has that social- distancing title (but we know that's not what the song's about, as the video makes clear!).

"Handle Me With Care," by The Traveling Wilburys, also has a title that suggests how we should treat everyone affected by the pandemic, whether sick, well, struggling or not.

"Three Little Birds," is a Bob Marley song that has an optimistic message that we hope will be borne out in the long term (after some hard work and dedication);  it's also to honor Marley, who passed away 39 years ago on May 11.

(h/t on the first two to Feline Mama, and on the last one to Silver Spring Bureau Chief Brian)
