A Sense of Doubt blog post #1973 - "Why Don't you Go Ahead and Turn off the Sun" - A Musical Mix for Monday 2007.13

I listened to two songs on the Fourth of July: Ani DiFranco's "'Tis of Thee" and Bruce Springsteen's "Independence Day," and so a mix was born.

The news cycle isn't at the protests for #BlackLivesMatter and #ICan'tBreathe 24/7 anymore but the protests are still happening.

We cannot let the nation lapse back into the passive status quo of silent consent, apathy, lethargy, and dull torpor.



RISE UP!

I decided to wrap this music mix in visuals more than rhetoric in my words.

Oh yeah, and keeping with the year theme, 1973 was a major year in my life as well as the world.

me in 1973:

- Days ago = 1835 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
