I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I remember when the government announced the lottery. The numbers 1 thru 365 plus for 2/29 the leap year. Boys starting at age 18 ,their birthday coincided with a number by which you'd get drafted. #1would definitely get called up 366 probably not. Fortunate boys got higher numbers.

That's so insanely Orwellian to think about. A lottery of death.

My boyfriend who is now my husband and my mom were listening to the numbers being called and my husband's number was in the 300,'s, my brother in the 200's. It was a horrible time. Many friends got called up right away, some died. One friend moved to Canada Rich people had bone spurs.

You might like this protest song by Jesse Welles - inspired (I suspect) by CCR and Bob Dylan, to name a few youtu.be/61I4hlig78w?...

"It starts when you're always afraid. Step outta line, and the man comes and takes you away." 1966-2026. Same old song, same message. youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?...

Musicians & artists have always been at the forefront of protests against war & injustice. More need to come out.
