One of the all-time iconic rock tunes, it was originally released in 1970 but did not become a hit until its rerelease in 1972.What a classic.
The name of the band was Derek and the Dominoes, but everyone in the know knows it was headed by Eric Clapton, with contributions by Duane Allman and others. As for the song, it's no secret that it was about George Harrison's former wife, Patti Boyd, whom Eric was madly in love with even though George was one of his best friends. The origin of the song title is explained by AI as:
The title was inspired by The Story of Layla and Majnun, a 12th-century Persian love story by Nizami Ganjavi about a man driven to madness by an unattainable love.

Conman Carney flew to Calgary to sign an agreement with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Here are the details you need to know about:
The industrial carbon tax, which is the hidden carbon tax on Canadian businesses, will significantly increase.
The carbon tax currently costs $40/tonne in Alberta. It will increase to $130/tonne by 2040. Carney said the higher carbon tax rates will apply across Canada.
In exchange for higher carbon taxes, Carney said the federal government might approve a pipeline to the west coast.
Here's what we know for sure from this agreement: Carbon tax hikes are guaranteed. A new pipeline is a maybe.
