By JEFF ROSENFIELD Tampa Bay Newspapers

CLEARWATER — As the park- ing lots and entrances at Spectrum Field sat empty March 15, you would’ve thought it was the middle of the winter instead of the mid- dle of the 2020 Grapefruit League season. The Philadelphia Phillies were set to host the Pittsburgh Pirates at the picturesque stadium on Old Coach- man Road, but the coronavirus put a halt to spring training along with practically every other professional and amateur athletic league and contest across the country, as the realities of the global pandemic began to sink in.

Healthy, active and fi t folk, young and old, even if infected, can stay above the line and recover, as the statistics on the worst outbreaks have consistently shown.

However, we now have a large ill-prepared aging population — by ignorance, self- neglect, and poor preparation — that is below the immune line. What to do?

But President Trump, with his total fi xation on the stock market, benefi ting dominantly the rich, trickle-down economics and job creation, even if low paying, has seriously neglected, downplayed and even opposed the value of having a national public health system.

The series is scheduled to get underway with Classic Albums Live per- forming the Eagles’ Greatest Hits Friday, April 24, 8 p.m., at the Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater. With its complex vocals and defi ning harmonies, the Eagles’ chart-top- ping album “Their Greatest Hits” became the fi rst album ever certifi ed platinum. Over 40 years after its release, the album is now one of the most infl uential albums in music history with hits such as “Take it Easy,” “Witchy Woman” and “Desperado.” Additional performances in this series will include: • “The Music of Woodstock” — Sunday, May 17, 8 p.m. • The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” — Thursday, June 18, 8 p.m. • AC/DC’s “Back in Black” — Sunday, July 19, 8 p.m. Held in the summer of 1967 on Max Yasgur’s farm in New York, Wood- stock was billed as three days of peace and music. The concert attracted an audience of more than 400,000 people and 32 artists performing out- doors despite sporadic rain. Classic Albums Live will recreate “The Music of Woodstock,” a concert that is regarded as a pivotal moment in music history as well as a defi ning event for the generation, performing songs made famous by the Who, Joe Cocker and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, among others.
