Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking

"I was born a southern son
In a small southern town where the rebels run wild
they beat their chests and they swear "we're gonna rise again"
And it should have been different, it could have been easy
The day that old Warren died, hate should've gone with him
But here we are caught in a wildfire"

A drinking song: I Got Loaded by The Wood Brothers

A personal fave, and such a vibe. Pairs well with day drinking in a hammock on a slow summer day.

Hair as a symbol of resistance is so transhistorical and iconic!

A protest song: Almost Cut My Hair by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young

"But I didn't and I wonder why

I feel like letting my freak flag fly

Yes, I feel like I owe it to someone"

Late July by Shakey Graves
Absolute banger. Just sang karaoke to it the other night. My kids were not impressed.

2006- a summer of significance.

The amount of grief, heartache, and darkness I experienced then fundamentally changed me. Music has never been so visceral, and thank God for the strength I found there.
