from the 7” single, Buddah Records, 1970What is there to say? It’s 2011, which my best friend & I decided sounds farther out and more sci-fi than 2010 for some reason, and although it would be nice to think we may all get a reprieve from the tumultuous chaos of this past year, things actually seem crazier than ever all around the world right now, so perhaps don’t hold your breath. That’s okay though, I always have hope, because as the prophet Cornell West says, “…hope wrestles with despair but it doesn't generate optimism, it just generates this energy to be courageous, to bear witness, to see what the end is going to be…no guarantee, unfinished, open ended…I am a prisoner of hope…I'm going to die full of hope, there's no doubt about that, because that is a choice I make…” Word.
