While I wasn’t brought up with any religion in my life and don’t consider myself religious in any traditional, organized sense of the word, I am still respectful of the day and the gravity associated with it.
So on this holy day, I wanted to say something fitting in today’s post but it’s one of those situations where the will doesn’t match the task. Maybe I’m tired. Maybe I just don’t have a damn thing to say.
I don’t know.
Just don’t ask me questions…
I guess all I have to share today is the painting above, a personal favorite called Soul of Independence and a song that somewhat goes with it. It’s Dont’ Ask Me Questions from Graham Parker about 30 years back. It’s a song that has stuck in my head for all these years and whose chorus always has me thinking. This is not a great video but please give a listen…
I too remember this piece and sense Parker’s influence from the Rolling Stones. Then again who has not been a bit touched by the Stones. ” Soul of Independence ” is a simple yet powerful image as is the title. As ever be well, Stephen Craig Rowe
That’s an interesting comment. Music is so ingrained in us that we instantly seek the similarity and influence in a song, perhaps to judge it or place it in our sensory memory. I do that all the time and do the same with painting now.
Thanks for the comment. All my best…
