Hey there all, and how are all of these opinions stacking up? If we can't hear another's opinions, then we have just taken sides.

If we are busking, what do we feel when we have turned someone off with a torrid opinion, or a point of view? Preaching to the converted sure is fun! Getting a point across to someone who didn't share it is meaningful, but if you are trying to make money, well then dont piss off the rich.

Duncan and Brady didn't go over well with the sherriff and he stormed out of a show I was playing... and yet I still sing the song. Some times when people take offence, they are moved to understanding something they dont want to face... But don't expect them to thank you right then!

Politics and music, are changing the world........ Healing the sad and sick, resisting the plural'd........ Opinions may change, then again maybe not........ Facts have free range, whatever we're taught........ttr
