    Oh, right, they ought to participate within that "feminist" project. Go fuck yourself, y'know. We are liberationists. We subscribe to full liberation.

    The point about my artistic expression, however, is that "The Long Goodbye" is better than almost all other songs. There's a few with Dylan to contend with, but I don't think it meets its match with either Pete Seeger or Phil Ochs. It'a one for the age, but, alas, will never be recognized as such, due to what I lack in vocality.

    Dinah Washington: What Difference A Day Makes
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OmBxVfQTuvI

    What a difference a day makes
    24 little hours
    Brought the sun and the flowers
    Where there used to be rain

    My yesterday was blue, dear
    Today I'm a part of you, dear
    My lonely nights are through, dear
    Since you said you were mine

    What a difference a day makes
    There's a rainbow before me
    Skies above can't be stormy
    Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
    It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
    What a difference a day made
    And the difference is you

    Somehow I've not heard (or do not remembering hearing) Dinah Washington's version of this song. Aretha Franklin's version (below) I've loved for decades, even more so if that's possible now realizing young Aretha sang it in honor of Ms. Washington just a couple of months after her passing. Thanks, Amity. :cool:

    Flee from happiness lest it run away
    Lest the azure sky turn to mauve
    To think of, or move on to something else
    Would be better...

    Flee from happiness lest it run away
    Think that there is, over the rainbow
    Always higher the sun above
    Radiant...

    To believe in heavens, to believe in the gods
    Even when everything seems odious
    When our hearts are set on fire and blood

    Flee from happiness lest it run away
    Like a little mouse in the corner of an alcove
    See the tip of its pink tail
    Its feverish eyes...

    Flee from happiness lest it run away
    Think that there is, over the rainbow
    Always higher the sun above
    Radiant...

    To believe in heavens, to believe in the gods
    Even when everything seems odious
    When our hearts are set on fire and blood

    Fleeing happiness lest it run away
    Sometimes wanting to scream "save yourself!"
    Who can go to the bottom of things
    Is unhappy...

    Flee from happiness lest it run away
    Think that there is, over the rainbow
    Always higher the sun above
    Radiant...

    To believe in heavens, to believe in the gods
    Even when everything seems odious
    When our hearts are set on fire and blood

    Flee from happiness lest it run away
    Tell me you still love me, if you dare
    I wish you'd find something else
    Something better...

    LESLEY DUNCAN | SING CHILDREN SING | Charity Single 1979
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4KRukPmfhU

    Though you feel at times you just can't win
    Sing, sing children, sing
    That you give is known, so don't give in
    Sing, sing children, sing

    [Chorus 1]
    Sing of the true way, sing of the time
    Show them the new way, let your light shine

    [Verse 2]
    He who lights the fire, must surely burn
    Turn, turn children, turn
    From the ones who see, but will not learn
    Turn, turn children, turn

    [Chorus 2]
    Turn from the darkness, turn all the way
    Look for the sunshine – then don't turn away

    [Verse 3]
    For everyone who doesn't stand, must fall
    Call, call children, call
    And he who finds himself, then finds us all
    Call, call children, call

    [Chorus 3]
    Call to the broken, call to the hate
    Lеt the word be spoken, bеfore it's too late

    [Outro]
    (Sing, sing...)
    (Sing, sing...) well, you know you've got to keep on singing
    (Sing, sing...) sing, my children, keep on singing
    (Sing, sing...) think of all the sunshine you'll be bringing
    (Turn, turn...) well, you know you've got to keep on turning
    (Turn, turn...) there's a lot, we got to keep on learning
    (Turn, turn...) turn, turn, turn
    (Turn, turn...) learn, learn, learn
    (Sing, sing...) mhm...
    (Sing, sing...) yeah, you know you've got to keep on singing

    Sunny Came Home - Shawn Colvin

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S5iANxYIYQ

    "Sunny came home to her favorite room
    Sunny sat down in the kitchen
    She opened a book and a box of tools
    Sunny came home with a mission

    She says "Days go by, I'm hypnotized
    I'm walking on a wire
    I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
    Into the fire"

    Sunny came home with a list of names
    She didn't believe in transcendence
    And it's time for a few small repairs, she said
    Sunny came home with a vengeance

    She says "Days go by, I don't know why
    I'm walking on a wire
    I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
    Into the fire"

    Get the kids and bring a sweater
    Dry is good and wind is better
    Count the years, you always knew it
    Strike a match, go on and do it

    "Oh, days go by, I'm hypnotized
    I'm walking on a wire
    I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
    Into the fire"

    Oh, light the sky and hold on tight
    The world is burning down
    She's out there on her own, and she's all right
    Sunny came home
    Sunny came home
    Came home

    I have two loves
    My country and Paris
    By them always
    My heart is thrilled




    Josephine Baker will symbolically enter the French Panthéon in Paris left bank this month, following an online petition earlier this year. The Pantheon is where the fathers and mothers of the French republic are interred or honored. E.g. Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo or Jean Jaurès. This will make her the sixth woman at the mausoleum, alongside Simone Veil, Marie Curie and others. I would guess the second black person, after Alexandre Dumas.

    However, the family did not want to disturb her, so her body will remain in Monaco... A plaque will be placed at the Panthéon instead, with an urn containing earth from St Louis, US where she was born, from Paris where she became a national entertaining idol, and from Château des Milandes, a castle where she raised her twelve adopted children from all origins (she called her family "The Rainbow Tribe") after WW2.

    In WW2 she helped the resistance very effectively. Got the War Cross for it in 45.

    She's now officially a Goddess of the French.

    Unofficially, she reached that status soon after travelling to Paris in 1925 with her infamous, overtly sexual, racially exploitative and absurdist Banana Dance. I won't show this here, make your own search for it, you unwoke perverts!

    We're afraid to be alone
    Everybody got to have a home

    The world is just a little town
    Everybody trying to put us down

    I don't expect you to understand
    After you've caused so much pain
    But then again, you're not to blame
    You're just a human, a victim of the insane...

    Afraid of the sun

    Now let's get it all in perspective
    Shift the objective, you've been misdirected
    What's the purpose of another song to step to
    If you stepping in the wrong direction
    Thug introspection
    Mindframe in the fast lane
    Through with cocaine
    Time's up, time to maintain
    Before a nigga gets drafted
    Cause you the number one pick, corn bread, cotton-crafted
    Them people's army shot another brown kid today
    And all you strapped little boys let 'em get away
    So what you packin' for
    You packin' for the war?
    They gonna ship you out and put you and your mans on tour
    Yeah, your Hummer came in handy
    Son, your Air Force 1s are sandy
    You'd better peep the plan, B
    Before you call yourself a soldier
    Get caught up on the wrong side and your little party's over
    Put your blunt down, no time to front now,
    Put your drink down, time to think now
    We on the brink now
    Where my peeps at, where the streets at?
    Same cats that stole you is using you to steal Iraq

    [Gunshot] Yo, I say let 'em shoot
    My tongue is my gun aiming for the truth
    They got a silencer and aimin' straight at the youth
    And all their talk of terrorism's nothing but a spoof

    We was the first type of oil that they ever stole
    Nah, f*ck the oil metaphor son, we was gold
    But let the truth be told, we was platinum
    Now they want a deal and asking us to back them

    War, don't start none, won't be none
    We fighting for freedom
    Yeah they say they is but son I don't believe them
    Cause when there's violence in the hood you never see them
    Unless they starting it
    They got their heart in it
    Now they got you thinking money is power
    You're counting dead pres by the hour
    And the one that's living, the Bible thumping Christian
    Like y'all niggaz trying to cross out the mission
    Listen, power is vision
    You're keeping it real in a neighbourhood that's government sealed
    Yo, let the truth be revealed
    Before your freedom has failed and the innocent killed

    [Gunshot] Yo, I say let 'em shoot
    My tongue is my gun aiming for the truth
    They got a silencer and aimin' straight at the youth
    And all their talk of terrorism's nothing but a spoof

    I'm hip to your games
    Hip to the science of war
    Propaganda make me fight but what am I fighting for?
    My way of life, means and rights, give or take less or more
    See through the eyes of the poor, plus I'm black to the core
    Ignorance is on tour, booking stadiums and more
    The days of Hitler painted pictures patriotic with gore
    You raise a flag on a land, snatch a bald eagle's claw
    And send a symbol on your currency to finance your war
    I'm saying no
    Not in my name, not in my life
    Not by my hands, that ain't my fight
    Not in my name
    You wage a war against terrorists and violence
    And try to wave your guns and fear us all into silence
    No. Not in my name, not in my life
    Not by my hands, that ain't my fight
    Not in my name
    You built your empire with natives and slaves
    Like the truth on resurrect waging war from it's grave
