Memorial Day Concert Wish
NEW YORK NIGHTS
As we watched the Memorial Day Concert on the defunded PBS, we were struck by the dissonance between the celebration of what America was meant to be and the perversion she has become under Donald J. Trump. While we love our patriotic music, we wish they had Norah Jones sing her “American Anthem”, with the iconic lyrics, “Let them say of me I was one who believed in sharing the blessings I’ve received. Let me know in my heart when my days are through; America, America…I gave my best to you”. We just can’t wait for November, to start re-claiming the America we can proudly celebrate!
