That's a neat vid you have. Really good stuff...

If that comment was for me, Cheryl, many thanks. If not.... I'm a goose.

Arlo's "In Times Like These" is a shining statement this morning as the reports come in of the latest round of bonuses for AIG. Wow... heads on pikes! Anyway this discussion belongs on another thread. Maybe it's the steroids but ahm mad as he.. When do these bozos finally get their shoes punctured. We're all bozos but some of us have much redder noses.

I've turned to "In Times Like These" quite a bit in the last six months. It helps.

Lord willing, I've a church fund raising program to play next month. I think that song is the perfect one to learn. Not sure how they'll react and not sure I'm too worried about that.

That song needs to be getting around to a lot more people and right now. The election made people believe the fight was over. The struggle is now to get people to focus on what they can do for each other close and personal, and what we have to do globally to get our values back. We've created a generation of superwealthy global citizens who hide behind pieces of paper while they mow the meadows and starve out the rabbits. They think we don't know or don't care or can't affect them.

We can affect each other and we can quit using their banks and quit buying their message. We can write more songs that mean something and pass around the ones we have. "One by one..." That can mean a helluva lot.

Yeah, the comment was for you. I thought it was a neat vid...

Much appreciated, Cheryl!

Still listening to In Times Like These. Arlo, that is beautiful, deep and medicine. Learning this is a pure pleasure. I hope I can do it justice.

For a long long time I wanted to tell you this: thank you for being that good that you could put music in the hands of other players, so smooth, so poetic and so peaceful, that even this many years later, it still has all the magic of 13, the hope of the kid that he will get it right.

Never met you, but you've been a fine friend.

And isn't the wonder in that. Time and space don't stop love.

Peace, Brother.
