I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

Ha! I thought of posting the Hothouse Flowers cover, which I love, but the original is so perfect as it is.

Day 22: Adore #LyricsPrompt #LyricsPrompt2025

The Marcels, Blue Moon

(always loved this version)

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please, adore me"
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold
