Let It Be
Listen to "Let It Be" on Spreaker.
When was the last time you looked at. Not listened! Looked at the printed words of Lennon and McCartney's Let It Be? A nice person would have copied and pasted them here right? No. Not gonna happen. We are living in an age where we have to stop letting people do the searching for us. I'm inviting you to look at. Not Listen. Look at the printed words of Let It Be. Part of this new normal is knowing you still have the human instinct to seek survival. To get that vision you have to be hungry for it. To know what you're looking for. To be ready for what you may or may not receive. This isn't a time for you to cling to the strings of a coattail that's as lost as you are. A very famous man once shouted in the public streets, "Get Up!" On this podcast I continue to be extremely transparent with what it's like living in the presence of Now. I know what Now looks like on the 5 pm news. I know what Now looks like in the bank account and gas tank. Since 2012 the podcast The Choice has been fed by the daily written words from journals dating back 26 years. I used those moments and the experiences that followed as tools to better understanding what it's truly like to live in a pair of creative shoes. You know your creative Now. I know my creative Now. I can almost bet they aren't the same. But there will always be some likenesses. Last nights loss of Adam Schlesinger from Fountains Of Wayne and several TV shows and movies hit me extremely hard in the gut because this was a man that learned to trust the flow of his creative river. He was never afraid to give it to the world so that we could have music and other forms of entertainment. Ten minutes after learning of Adam a good friend wrote on Facebook. He's been tested or Covid-19. This friend and I had a serious falling out a few weeks back. No reason to jump in to explain. But in this presence of Now I realize that what we once had was nearly gone because of a pebble of sand on two different creative paths. A pebble! When was the last time you looked at. Not listened! Looked at the printed words of Lennon and McCartney's Let It Be?
