Thanks to Chris Emm for reaching out; he has a serious lyrical talent. This year has sucked; to cap it all, I ended up injuring myself and having 12 stitches in my head! Apparently 2020 wanted me to have something to remember her by!

I'm glad he got better - I only wish the average American had access to the spectacular healthcare afforded our politicians. By the way, I realized (too late) that I misspelled "aberration" - my apologies!

Featuring: Vocals/guitars/additional programming by Adrian Grimes Strings arranged and performed by the amazing Alex DePue Lyrics by Jon Downing and Adrian Grimes Music by Led Zeppelin - obviously! (Songwriters credited as Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, Sean Combs, and Mark Curry) Also featuring some of the best video footage of Led Zeppelin and Puff Daddy.

I should add, as a parent with daughters going into 1st and 4th grades, this is HORRIBLY difficult. I really want them to go back to school because I SUCK as a primary school teacher, but I obviously want us all to be safe. yt:video:nBd1lqByEFI nBd1lqByEFI UC_YwHWMEN0nBh_BLw9nvlug Adrian Grimes https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_YwHWMEN0nBh_BLw9nvlug 2020-06-08T04:59:19+00:00 2021-01-11T10:03:05+00:00 This is not America (A David Bowie cover) A cover of a song by David Bowie and Pat Metheny from the movie "The Falcon and the Snowman". Much of what is happening today on the back of a worldwide pandemic (mass unemployment, homelessness, racism, human rights violations, protests, looting, militarized police being used to stifle constitutional rights) is heartbreaking and I didn't think doing parodies was appropriate anymore. This song, with its poignant imagery, seemed fitting and, I hope, captures just some of the issues we're facing. The movie "The Falcon and the Snowman" can be interpreted as being about how other nations don’t get to enjoy the freedoms that Americans do, freedoms and rights that get taken for granted until they’re taken away. It is actually a sad fact that some Americans have never really enjoyed those freedoms. When Bowie wrote and sang the words to this song, Pat Metheny said, “To me [Bowie's] words make ‘This is Not America’ one of the greatest protest songs ever.” We need change.

I reached out to Jon Downing, who had written it, to ask if I could record it. He said yes - and this is the result. Jon's original video can be found on his YouTube page - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGDWZDLM-XOnDs2jx7BV-Ng Go check his poems out and show him some love! Hope you enjoy it!
