BURNING BURNING - CitizenMofo

Sorry I've been so delinquent in my reply but thank you! I appreciate you! If you want to SEE the song, here's a video I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTXDOYVJMO0&list=PLwqrYdLC9-Z5qkDNGCjbM0_Q2RNZKwBeN
And if you want to get the song, all 55 songs that I made with Miss Sunny War are available at https://thesunnysessions.com/
If you do check out the site, and things don't work right, pls let me know. I am terrible about keeping up with things like that, and I really should get better. Anyway, thanks again.

Thank you, Silverman. You made my day. Dylan defined a great song as one that seems like it's been around forever, so reminding you of the '70s is all right with me.

Protest is hope, and hope is in short supply these days. How absurd hope looks in the face of such enormous government corruption and general hatred. When there's no hope then out of hopelessness comes random acts of violence, and these are increasing on a daily basis. I fear that now any protest risks being a violent clash between the people and the government or between the people of one view and the people of the opposite view. We've had a house this divided before, and guess where it led? 620,000 dead. Ah, music. Can it make any difference?

Jeez, I wish I knew how to get things on the radio or to get any success at all, beyond the intense soul satisfaction that I'm feeling at the moment, having completed the project. But I'm working through the necessary steps, and maybe I can make something happen this time. Thanks for your comment, it gave me a boost.

55 songs in multiple sessions over 5-1/2 months, not just one session...

Thanks for the comment and feedback!

Yeah, these are ridiculous times. When Watergate was going on, which I remember well, we had just come out of the turbulent '60s, the protests, the Civil Rights movement, the riots, the assassinations, Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News with the nightly body counts, the Kent State killings, etc. Nixon had just kicked off the unconstitutional and illegal "War on Drugs" in order to target first Vietnam protesters and then blacks, and here we are, 46 years later, still waging that suicidal mission against ourselves. Having been alive for a long sweep of history, I look back and it's pretty clear that that's where the slippery slope really started which has landed us at this low point of moral degeneracy and sheer insanity as a country. I can't even begin to process the scope of our degradation and lack of understanding of the most basic, basic aspects of democracy, freedom, and decency - not to mention the ability to differentiate good from evil. It's no surprise that the stunning violence of Americans on Americans is growing every day. As hopeless as it is, all I can do is make songs as my witness to the insanity and my criticism of the bs. Otherwise I'd go crazy. Thanks for listening and for your thoughtful comment, I really appreciate it!

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment!

Thank you. We've done some harder guitar-driven stuff on the BURNING album too so stay tuned... It's all on thesunnysessions.com though. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you, I appreciate that!
