“They gave me a stage and a microphone. They put it on Amazon Prime. So before we get out of here I gotta say three things: I gotta say protect trans youth. I gotta say fuck ICE. And with my whole fucking chest, I gotta say free Palestine!”
I nearly teared up watching this. It was Father’s Day, and I was holding Lily. To see my favorite band on the biggest stage in the scene, shouting out their kids and then shouting loud about the most important issues of the day, it meant something. It meant there are other people out there who want to make a better world for ourselves and for our neighbors and for the next generation. Sometimes I need that reminder.
“I’m gonna go, start to dig, plant a seed, keep the birds away. I’m gonna grow you a place safer than this.”
