To love justice, to long for the right, to love mercy, to pity the suffering, to assist the weak, to forget wrongs and remember benefits -- to love the truth, to be sincere, to utter honest words, to love liberty, to wage relentless war against slavery in all its forms, to love wife and child and friend, to make a happy home, to love the beautiful in art, in nature, to cultivate the mind, to be familiar with the mighty thoughts that genius has expressed, the noble deeds of all the world, to cultivate courage and cheerfulness, to make others happy, to fill life with the splendor of generous acts, the warmth of loving words, to discard error, to destroy prejudice, to receive new truths with gladness, to cultivate hope, to see the calm beyond the storm, the dawn beyond the night, to do the best that can be done and then to be resigned -- this is the religion of reason, the creed of science. This satisfies the heart and brain.
thanx for the add! really looking forward to the new album... if there's a european tour in the making, don't forget copenhagen. last concert you played here was unforgettable.
I'm gonna use this little miniscule microscopic square of cyberspace to declare the genius of one of your older songs, "Came Blue." Everything is at least great, but that one, in my ears, is just about perfect. Your music is an inspiration wading through the muck of some really fucked up times.
Thank you for the add Mr Callahan. I just rediscovered your Knock Knock album, and must admit that I had forgotten the great love I have for that record. But I'm dedicating this week to getting reacquainted with your music, which hopefully will make up for lost time, as you are truly an inspiring artist.
