Thanks Sandra! All of these covers are awesome. I listened to One Love, Redemption Song, Gimme Shelter, and Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay while getting ready for school this morning.
Music and its power to have an effect is so inspiring for writers; if one art form can do something important, so can ours. Heck, music is only one aspect of film!

Indeed, music is very powerful. It's very strange because I usually choose to work in silence. Then, when I'm done working, I'll enjoy music. All kinds, too.
Good morning or good evening or whatever and wherever you are, my friends.
I wanted to share this with you. Don't hesitate if you want to post some crazy ass heavy metal or whatnot in this thread. We only know anything by contrasting elements. Couldn't see the blasted white on the page if it weren't for the black, or the other way around. So yeah, do what makes you feel good... and if it stops making you feel good-- do something else.
When I was in Prague, I was in a store in Old Town where there was these dancing kind of puppets going around on a Merry Go Round. It would have made an excellent video. Dave got a little bit, but then he turned it off because one of the women was talking in the background. He's so gosh darn sensitive to "out of place sound".
Anyways, was thinking of that and I really do like this song. And like I always say, "It's not the words, but the intention behind the words that matter".
Ever hear someone say, "Never mind" to you? Notice how it's often like a "cut off statement". It kind of is a disconnect. Like the person doesn't want to talk to you. The reason I say this is because this statement is something I'm supposed to teach as ESL to my Chinese student. Again, inflection is everything in regards to this statement, but where I'm from:
"Never mind" is mostly negative. It all depends how it's used and if it's co-joined with something else, like, "I lost my wallet. Oh, never mind. I just found it." That's ok. But if someone asks, "What did you say?" And they reply, "Never mind." It's like they're giving you a cold shoulder or you're not important enough to be emotionally "present" for them.
In light of this. You could have "fuck you" evolve to meaning:
I never knew when I started this thread, what it would really mean. I think also, many writers can say that about their scripts. It's a journey, and along the way, (like on the highway) there are signs. This video is about what we, as a world, value. Hopefully, we will all learn to value each other.

We are on the eve of Yom Kippur and the following is not to disrespect any Jew.
As a writer who incorporates corporeal struggles into her writing, I just submit this since, I myself try to limit my meat consumption. I used to work at a fish cannery and a meat plant. What goes on here is actually very easy compared to what goes on on the many assembly lines. Even still, I don't think it's right at all the way these animals are treated.
We, on the speaking level are above animals, though our "beast" is still a beast. Our brains should obviously tell us this is mishandling.
Recently, and not too recently, my son has had problems with "girls". They were all good girls but alas... sometimes it isn't fixable and sometimes the hurt stays in the brain and won't come out-- like a bad ghost that won't leave.
And why? I don't know. Why do some relationships last sixty years or more? Why do some end after a few months or a few years? Or ten years?
I don't have answers. All I know is that personally, in my life, G-d has given me the opposite of what I had planned. From that, I have grown.
With that, I submit the following. I hope it gives you a lift and inspires you to reach beyond whatever "personal limitations" you may have ever set for yourselves.
Live your life and be present in every single moment. I want that for you.
