Another Saturday Night: Hope [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-03-08
Welcome to another Saturday night of music, memories, and conversations.
I’ve been reading a book about hope. In Humankind: A Hopeful History, the author makes the argument that humans are not actually awful. That is a tough sell right now (but he has the receipts, you really should read this book), and this is a music diary so: one of the things he says skews our perspective is too much news consumption because the news is all doom & gloom. So here, have a helping of hope.
Steve Earle -The Revolution Starts Now
the last verse always brings tears to my eyes, a vision of what could be
Last night I had a dream
That the world had turned around
All our hopes had come to be
And the people gathered around
They all brought what they could bring
And nobody went without
And I learned a song to sing
The revolution starts now
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Three Little Birds
Every little thing is gonna be alright
Tracy Chapman - Talkin' About A Revolution
‘Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution
'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh
U2 - American Soul
There’s a promise at the heart of every good dream
It’s a call to action not to fantasy
The end of the dream
The start of what’s real
Let it be unity
Let it be community
For refugees like you and me
A country to receive us
Will you be my sanctuary
Refujesus
