The Case for Making Art When the World Is On Fire
Willie Nelson encourages us with something called the Outlaw Bottle Collection
Dude is always making something, which kind of feels like part of the point
Got an annual email reminder from Alicia Graf Mack today to try to get to see Alvin Ailey before they go back on tour
She's a number of "first"s and "only"s and only the fourth Artistic Director of Ailey
she became Artistic Director at Ailey following her elevation to Dean & Dance Director at Juilliard
and of course there is Professor Toni Morrison's perennial reminder not just of what to do
but what we push back against and defy by doing it with the goal of locking it in the box it deserves
from a 1995 speech at Howard University on racism & its "succubus twin fascism"
I wanted to feature these other mighty artists in the OP so that nobody would think that just because it's also the beginning of awards season and they are both everywhere that this was only a post about Michael B Jordan and the great Delroy Lindo
😊
Let's have some music
