TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 12 - 18 November 2022

Tomorrow is World Toilet Day, which was established in 2013 by the United Nations. It's an important designation but the one thing it lacks is an important, well-recognized celebrity supporter. We have Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio for water and related issues. Here is a list of UNESCO ambassadors.

But toilets? Here is what I found years ago - Helena Traasavik, pushing toilet paper. Watch her video here.

The Rock? Kevin Hart? Oprah? Jane Fonda? Kate Winslet? Taylor Swift? C'mon folks!

Today's Tune - 15 November 2022. I must confess that in my dotage I've become a big fan of ABBA - Agnetha, Anni-Frid, Benny and Björn. Must've been all the trips to Stockholm when I was on the @GWPnews . So here's 'Waterloo'. You rock! Well... https://youtu.be/8DIX8226rWQ #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune - 14 November 2022. How 'bout a duet and medley? Tom Jones and 'Wicked' Wilson Pickett on the former's TV show in 1970: 'Barefootin'', 'Midnight Hour' and 'Hey Jude'. Good job, guys! https://youtu.be/KcksrDIxizI #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune - 13 November 2022. Lesley Gore's 'You Don't Own Me' is truly a feminist anthem. She released it in 1963 at 17 - caused quite a stir! This is in Melbourne (1989). The song was penned by John Medora and David White. Great, Lesley! #aquadocaudio https://youtu.be/SjG8y_fbQpw

Today's Tune - 12 November 2022. How about some 'psychedelic soul'? The it's gotta be The Chambers Brothers! Here is their 11-minute version of 'Time Has Come Today' https://youtu.be/30PNmxQutiQ Short Version: https://youtu.be/eSwjX2aKVZE #aquadocaudio
