my god, no. please don't tell me. i couldn't bear knowing luther is gone. no matter WHERE in the world we were, we were ALWAYS a phone call, email, or message/comment away from each other. we NEVER lost touch with each other! as far back as the late 70's, when we 1st met & played with each other in bobo's human arts ensemble with joe bowie & john greaves, our connection was instantaneous. i was his "jimi" & jody harris wrapped up into one, as he used to love to brag to anyone within earshot (almost as if i was his discovery). he was a beautiful, gentle soul who was giving enough to make me feel like i was important to him, & i'll never forget him for that. poor aki... god, our sons were the same age. he was SO proud of his son. this is a major hit to me. i loved him so much. he never failed to make me believe we had a future. the world doesn't make sense without luther... RIP my brother :-(
Imagine: You are an North-African immigrant to Spain or a South-American trying to get into US who has not much more than a few suitcases, his ability to work hard, willing to pay with slavery and to do dirty work - work that no inhabitant of the country you want to go to would even think of considering.
You already travelled a far way and left many good friends behind that you maybe never will see again.
You stumble out of the nearly falling apart bus or the smuggler boat, where you had to pay your income of a half year to that grim looking people with hearts of stone - just to take you aboard.
You are sighing gladly that you survived the travel and now take your first steps in your new home country.
And you are soon aware: You are disrespected, treated badly, your woman is seen as a kind of cheap prostitute, other people's children don't want to play with your children.
You are thinking of your former homecountry with feelings of sentimentality and you know there is no hope: you cannot go back...
