“Bela Lugosi's Dead” recorded and mixed on 10/14/23 and 10/15/23, for October’s 30 Day Songs challenge (30daysongs.com).
“Bela Lugosi's Dead” written by Ash/Haskins/J/Murphy, originally by Bauhaus.
Released on October 20, 2023. Happy 141st…

When I grew up in the 1970's, 80's and 90's, one of the loose "Golden Rules" was that people shouldn't talk about either one of two subjects: Politics and/or Religion ...
The societal wisdom was that by avoiding these often contentious subjects…
