Climb on (a back that’s strong) – Shawn Colvin (1992) d52
Oh, my soul. Sometimes we don’t know what to do. We work so hard being tough on our own. But now it’s me and you. Let’s give it up, sad bones, ’cause we all fall on hard times. But you don’t have to stand up all alone; just put your hand in mine.
Keep on rollin’ – Elvin Bishop (2017) d50
The times have caught up to Ron’s favorite musical genre. “Don’t let the bastards get you down, keep on rollin’. When they want to kick your ass, put your foot on the gas, keep on rollin’.”
Future love paradise – Seal (1991) d45
Thanks Alison for the suggestion. This isn’t the last we’ll hear of Seal. “Don’t you know that racism has a minimum future, kids, can only lead to no good, to no good. Besides your sons and daughters already know how that feels.”
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive – Ella Fitzgerald (1961) d28
At the Communities Joined in Action conference, Dr Eduardo Sanchez exhorted us to “never, ever give up.” Amen brother.
