Watching the news…
I fear for my trans siblings…
The younger ones…
I was part of the generation
They looked up to…
My generation had no representation
In Hollywood or politics…
We were considered unicorns
Or someone's horror story…
These young ones look up to us…
They depend on us…
We have to fight…
If not for us…
But for them…
They are innocent and pure…
They don’t deserve the hate…
There is nothing wrong with them…
They are perfect…
So if the government comes for them…
We will band together…
To prevent the genocide of our next generation…
Know I stand with you…
You are not alone…
And when you feel like the darkness is winning…
Remember these words…
You are not alone…
Please survive…
Don’t let them win…
Live to spite them…
Be petty and win…

AUGUST 1976
I was listening to some reaction videos on the internet the other day when I "re-discovered" one of THE greatest and uniquely American songs I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. I forgot that Arlo Guthrie comes from a sturdy stock of great folklorists-namely his father Woody Guthrie. I associate Arlo with "Alice's Restaurant", so much so that I forgot he is an exceptional storyteller in his own right.
