THE PROBLEM WH THAT IS THAT DO NOT ACUNT FOR FEAR, OR FOR THE VAR PRIVILEG WE HAVE THAT KEEP OM FEELG THE SAME FEARS AS SOME OF THE PEOPLE WE LOVE MOST. IT’S EASY FOR ME TO VISUALIZE THE WORK AND TAKE TO — “THE WORK” AS LABOR, AND ALSO “THE WORK” AS HOLDG UP THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT BEG HELD UP BY ANYONE ELSE, AND HOPG THAT FOLKS MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THE SAME FOR ME. THE THG ABOUT THE IA OF QUTNG AS RISTANCE, PECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE ASKG QUTNS THAT THE UNTRY KEEPS ANSWERG FOR YOU, IS THAT THOSE QUTNS ALL SPIRAL TO THE SAME DARKNS WHEN THEY’RE DONE. WHAT’S GOG ON ENDS WH “INNER CY BLU (MAK ME WANNA HOLLER),” THE ALBUM’S MOST HARROWG SONG. MORE THAN ANY OTHER SONG ON THE ALBUM, IS CERTA OF SELF, CERTA OF THE WORLD OUTSI. BORED WH THE ALBUM’S QUTNG, OFFERS A FIRM, RONATG STATEMENT: “THIS A’T LIV’ / THIS A’T LIV’ / NO, NO BABY, THIS A’T LIV’.”{BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#F3F3F3;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}A THG THAT I LOVE ABOUT WHAT’S GOG ON IS THAT ’S AN ALBUM THAT FAC S PEOPLE. IT MAK ROOM FOR EVERYONE ELSE, AS S MERCIAL SUCCS WOULD DITE, BUT IS EPLY NVERSATN WH A SPECIFIC SET OF PEOPLE, AND ASKS EVERYONE ELSE TO EHER E ALONG AND LEARN OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. A THG I’VE GOTTEN BORED WH, MY OWN WORK, IS RMG WHE PEOPLE OF THEIR WHENS, OR TELLG WHE PEOPLE HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THEIR WHENS — AND, TURN, BEG TOLD BY WHE PEOPLE HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT BEG WHE. THERE IS SOCIAL PAL THAT, OF URSE, BUT DO NOTHG FOR THE PRERVG AND UPLIFTG OF A PEOPLE. IT DO NOTHG TO ACTIVATE AND EMPOWER BODI, TO PUT OURSELV BETWEEN EACH OTHER AND WHATEVER IS THAT’S G. THE TIM ARE TOO URGENT FOR ME TO NSIR THGS THAT DO NOT DO THIS. I ONCE HAD A IEND TELL ME THAT WHEN HE SAYS “MY PEOPLE,” HE MEANS MARGALIZED FOLKS AND THOSE WHO ARE DOWN WH MARGALIZED FOLKS, AND THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE. WH THAT MD, WHEN I TELL MYSELF TO GET BACK TO WORK, I AM DOG FACG MY PEOPLE. I AM DOG AND STILL ROLLG OUT A WI WELE MAT, ASKG THE MARGALIZED AND HURTG, AND ANYONE VTED THE MARGALIZED AND HURTG, TO JO, TO PERHAPS LEARN, TO PERHAPS TAKE TO THE FIGHT THEIR OWN WAY, BUT FELY TO SHOW UP. I HAVEN’T GOT TIME FOR ANYTHG ELSE. THE PEOPLE WHO MAND THEIR UNTRY BACK FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS IMAGE THAT IS ONCE AGA THEIRS, AND I HAVE TIME FOR FEAR, AND I HAVE TIME FOR GRIEF, AND I HAVE TIME FOR ANXIETY. BUT, EVEN THE FACE OF ALL THOSE THGS, I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO BE {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;DISPLAY:-WEBK-BOX;DISPLAY:-WEBK-FLEX;DISPLAY:-MS-FLEXBOX;DISPLAY:FLEX;-WEBK-BOX-PACK:CENTER;-WEBK-JTIFY-NTENT:CENTER;-MS-FLEX-PACK:CENTER;JTIFY-NTENT:CENTER;POSN:RELATIVE;PADDG-BOTTOM:56.49999999999999%;} .TWTER-TWEET-RENRED, {M-WIDTH:65%;WIDTH:TO !IMPORTANT;} {WIDTH:100%;} {MARG-LEFT:TO !IMPORTANT;MARG-RIGHT:TO !IMPORTANT;} IMG{MAX-WIDTH:100%;WIDTH:100%;} > IAME{BORR:NONE;MAX-WIDTH:100%;} > *{MAX-WIDTH:NONE !IMPORTANT;POSN:ABSOLUTE;HEIGHT:100% !IMPORTANT;WIDTH:100% !IMPORTANT;}{BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#F3F3F3;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}YTERDAY AFTERNOON, BEFORE I KNEW ANYTHG OF WHAT THE NATN HAD STORE, I TALKED ON THE PHONE FOR AN HOUR WH A IEND, SPE NEHER OF BEG “PHONE PEOPLE.” I AM, MANY S, THE PERSON WHO WILL CLICK YOU TO VOICEMAIL AND THEN SEND AN IMMEDIATE “WHAT’S UP?” TEXT. STILL, I TALKED WH MY IEND FOR AN HOUR, AND WE NEVER MENTNED THE ELECTN. WE SIMPLY UGHT UP: RAMBLED ABOUT OUR SHARED ART PROJECTS, LAID BLUEPRTS FOR FAR-REACHG VISNS, DISCSED WAYS WE ULD BE BETTER TO AND FOR OUR RPECTIVE MUNI. IT IS MOMENTS LIKE THIS THAT THE IA OF BUILDG A WORLD OF MY OWN WH ONLY A WAY AND NO WAY OUT SEEMS MOST APPEALG. OUR BUBBL ARE, SOME WAYS, WHAT LED TO SO MANY PEOPLE BEG SURPRISED AT THIS UNTRY’S OFTEN UNSURPRISG MACHE. BUT THEY ARE ALSO THE BT WAYS FOR TO KEEP EACH OTHER CLOSE WHEN THE MACHE OPENS S JAWS JT A B WIR THAN THEY WERE THE NIGHT BEFORE. I THK OF MARV GAYE MOST WHEN I NSIR HOW TO BALANCE ALL THE NEEDS — TO BALANCE A LACK OF OPTIMISM AGAST A NEED FOR OPTIMISM AS FUEL. I THK, AS MARV PERHAPS KNEW, THAT THE KEY IS TO RETHK WHERE THE FUEL IS RRYG YOU. WHAT’S GOG ON, MORE THAN MOST PROTT ALBUMS OF S TIME, IS THE ONE THAT N STRETCH ACROSS GENERATNS WH RELEVANCE. SURE, SOME OF THE POLICS ARE NOT AS REFED AS THEY WOULD BE 2016. YET THERE IS WORK THAT TACKL THE ENVIRONMENT, FAH, POVERTY, AND SOCIAL RPONSIBILY TO OURSELV AND TO THE GENERATN AFTER OURS. ALL THIS OM A MAN WHO WANTED TO DIE, BUT WHO STILL MANAGED TO LOOK AT THE WRECKAGE OUTSI AND SEE SOMETHG WORSE OFF THAN HE WAS. SOMETHG NOT ENTIRELY WORTH SAVG, MAYBE, BUT SOMETHG WORTH AT LEAST HAVG A NVERSATN {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#F3F3F3;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}THE STORY GO THAT MARV WOULD N TO THE STUD AND TELL SMOKEY ROBSON THAT GOD HIMSELF WAS WRG THE ALBUM, NOT HIM. I’M SURE MARV BELIEVED THIS, THE WAY WE ALL BELIEVE WHATEVER WE MT TO RRY OURSELV TO (AND OUT OF) THE WORK. IT TOOK MARV STEPPG BACK OM THE LOVE SONG FOR AN ALBUM OF PROTT MIC TO ENTIRELY REVENT SEX WH THE SOUL-MIC NON. THERE’S A FUNNY B OF JOY THAT, FOR ME. FIGHT AND MAKE LOVE, EVEN IF THE FIGHT HASN’T END. EVEN IF THE FIGHT IS RIGHT OUTSI YOUR WDOW, CLASHG WH THE SHADOWS. EVEN IF THE FIGHT IS LOUD, AND HUNGRY, AND RECKLS S SWALLOWG. EVEN IF YOU ARE ONLY MAKG LOVE TO YOURSELF. EVEN IF YOU ARE MAKG LOVE TO YOURSELF THE GLOW OF A TV SCREEN AND TOUCHG NOTHG BUT THE TV REMOTE. EVEN IF THE LOVE YOU ARE MAKG IS THE KD OF LOVE WH NO EX.
