“But we must accept one central truth and responsibility as participants in a democracy: Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.”
― John Lewis, Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America

Skybald released their innovative fan-shot music video today for their new single, “Kamikaze Pilots,” and it’s goddam awesome. The band’s members (including Philippe-Atherton Blenkiron, who my indie lit friends will recognize) actually recorded their parts of the song individually, out of respect for social distancing — and then likewise invited their fans to submit clips of themselves individually rocking out to it.
The result is damned cool — check it out!
Please note — although the terrible pun in the headline is mine, the meme is not. (Like every meme I share here, I found it on Facebook, and I am unaware of its original author.)
