Re: Robin:
I love that:  "Walk good, my friend."  That sums the whole thing up in my opinion.  Thank you.

Good for you, Robinspeaks
You are just the person to do it.  You go girl!   I am behind you all the way.

Robin:

It is disturbing that so called intelligent, and financially savvy, people cannot express their frustration without resorting to stupid words and phrases. The English language is so powerful that you can say what you want, get your point across, without these denigrating postulates. I share your pain and your optimism. We should have passed this point eons ago.

Stay well; walk good my friend.

Re: We're Going to Rise
Thanks for dropping in.  That song is also famous for being one of the most beautiful tunes in the musical "Ain't Misbehavin'" where it's really done beautifully.

We're Going to Rise
The "lady" Billie Holliday wrote and sang the song of her own life :  "Lord, what did I do to be so black and blue?"
