My favorite song from this 2021 album.

When I go and I get to heaven/
I know that I’m gonna get in/
Cuz I’m just the way that the good lord made me/
And it might be crazy, but it ain’t no sin/

One of my favorite NY songs. (1974)

All those people, they think they got it made/
But I wouldn’t buy, sell, borrow or trade/
Anything I have to be like one of them/
I’d rather start all over again/

Few people can speak about art, and its impact, better than Ethan Hawke.

“If you want to help your community, if you want to help your family, if you want to help your friends—you have to express yourself. And to express yourself, you have to know yourself. It’s actually super easy. You just have to follow your love. There is no path til you walk it.”

I like the way your hair tangles/
The way your suntan’s only on one side/
We always keep the windows open wide/
When we drive/

Thank You for Today

Identify with the dead or the livin’, I don’t know/
Maybe my people set up to fall like a domino/
America the beautiful, go ask Geronimo/
What’s the worst they could do to you? I bet my mama know/

Black Thought

I keep a flame burning inside/
If you need to bum a light/

The Beths

We went to different colleges/
But you said that we would always be/
Branches on the same old tree/
Reaching away from each other for eternity/

Francis always said you’ve got to befriend the bartenders/
He told me to tip really big on the opening round/
Francis did me a favor I’ll always remember/
He let me stay at his place when I first came to town/

Don’t pretend that the world has never been good to you/
Don’t suspend all your plans when you know you should follow through/
Don’t you dare play the victim when you have the power to choose/

I’d love to be a part of one of these Choir! performances. What a fun idea.

I’m looking forward to seeing the Blaze film, directed by Ethan Hawke.
