A few friends who have marched with us at the previous protests here in Richmond, VA are backing out this time re the GOP BS, fearing the goons. Which is, of course, what they want. Please folks, let's do this together!

Oh man, not D'Angelo! Richmond's own musical genius, loving spirit and true soul man. It was VooDoo that won me over and Black Messiah synthesizing deep funk and gospel is always on my playlist. Too soon too soon

Have enjoyed rewatching Annie Hall and a first watch of her entirely different and just as affecting role in Marvin's Room this week. The highest accolade I can think of: she was so real!

Mural covering an entire wall of a two-story brick building. Cartoon image of two faces, a woman's a tear falling from her eye, and a man in a green half-mask that covers his eyes and nose, his mouth pressing against the woman's cheek, grimacing. That's half the mural. The other half painted directly onto the brickwork reads NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.
