Hi, Sheila! Thanks for asking. We endured the symptoms and the isolation period and came out the other side. A little (lot) traumatized but OK. We managed to get out of town to far western Michigan, which is helping a ton with mental recovery. Thanks so much for asking.

Dayffid:

djsheilab - Thanks for the info. I was just talking to a friend the other day about how different my listening experience is today from what it was like when I was younger, when I would have to save up money and buy and album and listen to it over and over again. My musical knowledge of different artist and bands has expanded vastly but I rarely become as intimate with a single or an album as in the days when I would physically buy it. Even when I do it still doesn't have the same amount of time given as the albums of the past. so yeah things change, somethings are better some as worse but in the end I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. OR can you?? maybe you can?

just banged my right shin off of a stair going up the stairs and it bled a bit because of gravity. So I was sitting in a chair, keeping the leg level, and hearing about how a Cuban Olympic boxer got back to training 2 weeks after getting shot in the hip (he won Gold)

After hearing that, I figured "hey, this will be fine". Weirdly enough it doesn't really hurt to walk.

I agree with you entirely, Shelia. First, use the right tool for the job. If you have a policy you think will further social justice then work on bringing the policy into action, don't write a song about it. Conversely, if you are an artist of any kind don't expect to be praised just because your heart is in the right place - make your art as beautiful, powerful and self-sufficient as possible.

We are always participating in something larger than ourselves. We need each other.

The question with any message an artist or Citizen on this land has (or does not know they have) is what is actionable?
This is a simplification -but- A conservative like Nixon would be content to narrate the past. Whereas liberal like RFK would looks to the past to draw lessons and inform upon the present!
But I digress… i try to steer clear of the politics game, but as a Citizen am born political. No choice in that.

Based on the mini rant I totally agree with you, Sheila! Dictating what art should be about is bad news. Social issues and politics in art that is explicit sometimes hits the mark but most of the time it fails. Art can be political and successful when there's nuance, grey area and it's well thought out; not just a reaction. Successful political art: David Wojnarowicz, Nan Goldin. Unsuccessful political art : the dearth of books dictating uniformity in thought about gender, race and political views.
