Cooder admits he's angry about what is happening in our country, a feeling he shares with a majority of Americans. Many Americans have talent and the access to make their anger count for more than most of us. Very few have the courage to use it.
But courage, like measles, is contagious. Once it's in the air, not even fear can inoculate us against it.. Cooder has thrown down the gauntlet and I believe others will pick it up.
Even if the first response is silence. There's nothing like a good song to push away the clouds of gloom and despair, the favorite weapons of despots everywhere. We know the silence can't last.
