Breaking Through

Rythm And Soul

Ever feel like a marionette whose strings are being pulled by billionaires who like to watch their puppets form circular firing squads?  Me, too.

Divide and Rule

What’s more important – gender, race, or class?
Give me the wrong answer and I’ll have to kick your ass
Do Black lives matter a little, or do they matter a lot?
What were you doing on the night that Bettie Jones was shot?
Do you really care?  If so, then how much?
Or are you some kind of privileged person, completely out of touch?

Let’s argue about it, let’s be perfect little tools
Let’s play the game of the billionaires – the old divide and rule

What is your position on Vladimir Putin?
Is he God, or the devil – for which side are you rootin’?
Do you support negotiations?  Or do you support the war?
There is no room for nuance here, which side are you for?
Let’s shout at one another until we get tired of shouting and then
Entrench our positions and make sure to never talk again

Is it a genocide in Gaza, or is it just a slaughter?
What do you call a country that won’t let people have water?
Is antisemitism on the rise?  Is it true
You can’t call someone a Nazi if they are a Jew
How do we even start to have such a debate
What’s your position on the existence of the Jewish state?

What’s your pronoun, how do you define?
Your gender, sexuality, where do you draw the line?
What’s the difference between X and Y?
Who gets to be a girl, who gets to be a guy?
Who do you exclude and who do you embrace?
What’s your definition of safer space?

Have you been doing the work, and if so are you sure?
Are you progressing towards the genuinely pure?
Have you got the right perspectives, your ducks all in a row?
Is that Facebook banner just the one you really want to show?
Do you look good in the camera, sound earnest in the mic?
Was there a post for which you regret clicking “like”?

Divide and Rule

Moving on from the frying pan to the fire.

Trump 2.0

Some thoughts on that majority element of top-quintile US society that persistently refers to itself as "the middle class."

The Disconnected 20% That Runs It All

ICE agents taking orders directly from the top and disappearing a student activist with no warrant, no due process, canceling his green card and holding him incommunicado in an unknown location, this is what's happening in the USA right now.

Mahmoud Khalil

Little House

Dime At The Bottom Of My Purse

Scott Warren was facing a 20-year prison sentence for, in the words of his federal accusers, providing, "food, water, clean clothes and beds" to two men very much in need of all of those things for a few days. 

From the 2019 album, Strangers and Friends.

I Was A Stranger

According to some study I read, there were 20,000 Germans who engaged in various acts of sabotage and other heroic acts in situations where they knew they would be killed for doing what they did.  Each one of them had a complex of reasons for doing what they did, surely, but the main one was simple:  they had to do something in the face of the fascist madness.  Welcome to 1933.  This song is a bus-burning song.  This guitar burns buses.

The Time To Act (Song For Will Van Spronsen)

Grew up in the 70's, played in cover bands in the 80's and 90's and finally got around to recording my own material in the 00's.  I'm a songwriter for the most part.
