The change in dynamics within the world will be most interesting With the passing of Elizabeth Regina.
Of more significance will be the reactions to the ascent of Charles Rex.
I expect it will hasten the republic movement in Oz and a few other countries.
it may also cause movements to the dissolution of the monarchy in the UK.
I doubt that Chucky will have the ability to remain above politics his mother had.
will be interesting.

I was a big fan of the yardbirds as a youngster, and even bigger fan of CSNY as I was a bit older.
Great talent.

Edited. That means two members of the Yardbirds, Jeff Beck and now Crosby died recently.
