This week I got busy, three postings of which this is the third. So I'll make it short.
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are playing this Sunday at the Stern Grove Free Summer Music Festival in San Francisco. Ms. Jones and the Dap Kings bring the soulful Staten Island potato salad to the picnic, with some legit stars from James Brown's cape thrown in for good measure. Take a moment and listen to this:
This Land Is Your Land
and then:
I Learned the Hard Way
You will find me this Sunday morning patiently waiting, sitting cross-legged on a red and white checkered blanket next to a wicker basket in the Stern Grove, tapping the vein on the inside of my elbow, tyin' the elastic band tourniquet around my bicep, firing a 99 cent lighter up underneath a teaspoon full of soul, watchin' it cook in bubbly dissolution, waiting for the injection of spirit and the turning upside down and inside out of all those fucking racist imaginations that still oppress this nation, every one of us, inspired by the music to do something different, maybe change History, maybe shake with some stereo-typcial-authentic-funk, maybe be a better man. The show starts at 2.
much love,
Anthony
