Yeah, mine was out. You’re in California too, right @Moonbeam? Alexa was out for about an hour or two. I tried it right when I read this post right now and now I’m happily listening to Norwegian Wood.
When my Dot went out I did a search of "what does it mean when Alexa gives you a “I’m not understanding you right now.” It gave some reasons and 5 possible solutions (for next time). I found cussing at her doesn’t help.
