Joan Baez? Woody Guthrie? Springsteen? Marvin Gaye ? Anybody know any other songs from Mr. Marvin? On the verge of another war, are more political tunes imminent? SOAD, BSF, Metallica?
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out in the media. And if a new, brave, band like the legends of yesterday appear again.
Time will tell. And by time, I’m thinking of Saddam Hussein. And the other Middle East adventures our nation has become involved in.
Some times you go along to get along, and that has been the case with me at this time of year. Seafood, Fridays (no meat). And often this forces one to get creative. Shrimp (fried or scampi?), fish (grilled, baked, fried…breaded or no?). Grilled cheese?
As you get older you understand two important life lessons.
However, I’m going to revisit something I used to eat years ago. I almost forgot how it tastes. Yes, it seems like decades since I’ve tasted tuna. So, very early today I whipped up a salad. Cracked pepper, hard boiled egg, tuna, green peppers, salt, mayo, onions, a hint of garlic. And let me tell you what, I just may be born again. Delicious. Invigorating
What’s next? Probably clam.
A walk down the steep white wooden stairs, a turn right. A walk to the corner, then turn right at the stop sign. Look to the left, across from the historical black church. There sits the Greek restaurant, once boarded up. Years ago, there were riots in the area. Remember the drive to People’s Corner? The community grocery store was boarded up too. Along with all the local businesses in the area. While driving through, people were in the middle of the streets, holding signs. “Beep if you agree with our protest”. Protests involving an unarmed minority being shot by local authorities.
Is this every city? Sometimes you have to wonder how incidents like the one in Minnesota relate to other cities. Some sort of cultural conflict, possibly misunderstanding between different communities, their experiences, and their outlooks on life. How close are you?
Throughout history, and for better or for worse, cities become “known” for incidents like these. The city I was born in, is famous for the treacherous treks across the frozen river, giving Harriet Beecher Stowe a well-known name in history. Motivating leaders to organize the creation of a freedom center near the original passage of slaves to a free state.
Hope everyone had a wonderful MLK day. It’s great to live in a nation that honors such a good man.
Would rather not have divisive or hostile political content up here right now. It seems like things are really heating up.
Need to spend more time on T1, not politics. And work on diet and health. (Take care of the pup also, he did just have his nuts worked on)
Thanks.
