Sudden realization

I like the bench seat in the back of the bus, and it was where I was sitting this morning. Not that it should have anything to do with it, but I was not reading my book because it was a bright, sun-shiney morning. It was too nice to be buried in DFW’s thoughts on Michael Joyce as a tennis player.

Don’t get Stevie pissed at you

Stevie Wonder performs “You Haven’t Done Nothing” at the 1975 Grammys. This song was a response to Richard Nixon’s presidency.

It’s a great song. But what I love most about the performance is that he doesn’t even wait for his own introduction to finish before he starts the song. He even gets the presenter to groove.

I’m thinking about America today. About Black America, it’s hardships and contributions, it’s setbacks and success.

Listen to this

I probably find this more brilliant than I should. But it’s still brilliant.
