I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Completely Devastated at the loss of this Beautiful Man. I’m so gonna miss Pierre playing @REM Fall on Me on repeat usually 3 times and 4 times just last week during his work force blocks. I will miss listening to his positive words and all the cool music he played and stories.
