It may not be the latest and greatest new iPhone (just like Classic Rewind music), but due to leaving my old iPhone 7 Plus in my pocket while going into the pool, I was forced to make a quick decision … even though my buddy Jeff loaned me his iPhone XS for a few days (activation, updating and transferring data was a pain). I definitely appreciated the loaner … thanks!

Now, I could have continued to use it until the new iPhone 16s hit the market in the fall, but instead opted to buy a discounted “refurbished” iPhone 15 Pro ($400 off Apple’s price). According to the battery health indicator, it is still 100% with a “Cycle Count of 93” and a “First Use of October 2023.” It would have been nice to be “newer” … but the dark “titanium blue” is flawless. There isn’t anything noticeable that would indicate it is not new, so I’m happy about that. I semi-justify that if I were to have waited and bought an iPhone 16 Pro (or other) when they become available to order, that I would have to spend at least $500 more than this 9 month old phone. So far so good … but I’m still getting familiar with the new iOS 17.5.1 and am missing the “home” button. 😊
 

Black Crowes     “She Talks To Angels” | 1991

So much for technology … how about Music Monday? Since I was updating the SiriusXM app and playing the Classic Rewind channel while on the MagFast “wireless” desktop charger (a new feature to me) … I’ll share Black Crowes and “She Talks To Angels” from You Tube and lyrics below the break. 

“She Talks To Angels“

She never mentions the word “addiction”
In certain company
Yes, she’ll tell you she’s an orphan
After you meet her family

She paints her eyes as black as night now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain come
The pain gonna make everything alright

Says she talks to angels
They call her out by her name
Oh, yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met
Not yet

Says she talks to angels
Says they all know her name
Oh, yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She don’t know no lover
None that I ever seen
Yeah, to her that ain’t nothin’
But to me, yeah, me
Means everything

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh, yeah, there’s a smile when the pain comes
The pain gonna make everything alright
Alright, yeah, heah

She talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
Oh, yeah, heah, angels
Call her out by her name
Oh, ooh, oh, oh, angels
They call her out by her name

Oh, oh, oh, she talks to angels
They call her out
Yeah, ee, eah, eah, eah, eah
Call her out
Don’t you know that they
Call her out by her name?
