Why would anyone bother trying to follow this act?
My favorite Stevie but I’ve always hated Don Henley on the track. Glad I found this. Beautiful vocal work.
“Don’t underestimate how much antagonism there is toward women and how many people wish we could turn the clock back. One of the things people always say to you if you get upset is, don’t take it personally, but listen hard to what’s going on and, please, I beg you, take it personally. Understand: every attack on Hillary Clinton for not knowing her place is an attack on you. Underneath almost all those attacks are the words: get back, get back to where you once belonged. When Elizabeth Dole pretends that she isn’t serious about her career, that is an attack on you. The acquittal of O.J. Simpson is an attack on you. Any move to limit abortion rights is an attack on you — whether or not you believe in abortion. The fact that Clarence Thomas is sitting on the Supreme Court today is an attack on you.”

Help Me.
I plan to polish off my 10 pg paper by 4am Thursday only to cram for two exams by the end of next Tuesday.
And I have just discovered the sweet, sweet molasses that is this:
And Hulu hasn’t blocked any episodes from non-HuluPlus viewers.
And everything ever seems terribly unfair always right now.
I lost many after MJ died. Oddly, I’m treating today as an all-around memorial day.
Thinking of several sweet hearts today.
Lately, I write no more
than twenty lines a day. The barrier is palpable—
mortar in the joints of my hands—
stiff fingers, my wall.
