SUYF! – Playlist 4/11/21

Songs inspired by the jingle jangle morning before gazing into the jangling discordance. Mr. Bojangles, please dance. Mr. Bojangles! Mr. Bojangles! Get your Rickenbacker out!

MArtin Luther King, JR., “I Have a Dream” speech during the Civil Rights rally on the steps at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963.

I felt a little guilty about jangling the poor bugger’s brains with that evil fantasy. But what the hell? Anybody who wanders around the world saying, “Hell yes, I’m from Texas,” deserves whatever happens to him.

Hunter S. Thompson, The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time
