Turtle Life
From the monthly archives: September 2010
From the 1973 album Deliver The Word by War here’s the final track, “Blisters.” A tune that inspires me to envision an old porch during the summer drought somewhere out on the delta as evening has settled in.
“Fellas, all we need is to get people to believe he’s a threat instead of a savior. Half the work is already done for us. What’s more threatening than a negro with real clout?”
“Love is blind….it knows no skin color, no gender, no national origin, no religion, etc. We may all look different on the outside, but we are all human. ONE LOVE.” – Tiffany
Tell me, did you ever have a Johnny’s Record Shop where you grew up? I bought my first four 8-track tapes there. In hindsight I think a couple of them where bootlegs, but to a boy about to hit seventeen it didn’t matter. I had music to stuff into that 8-track player that I got for Christmas.
