Tom Sullivan sent me this, saying "I didn't see that coming." Neither did I.

I'm just going to leave it here for you to contemplate on a Saturday night. It's not just the song. It's the person who's singing it.

As I have been observing, the artists are stepping up. Maybe we're not dead yet?

1. Yep, I really did not expect a song like this from Amy Grant. Kudos.

She says maybe it’s the time of year
Or maybe it’s the time of man
60’s playlist and a beer
I’m suddenly 16 again
What’s the future hold in store
What’s it hiding up its sleeve
All that wide-eyed hope
Were we so naive

Hey mister where’s the road to Yasgur’s farm
He stares at me with pity and alarm
Says that crowd left here long ago
Scattered all to hell and Harper’s Ferry
On the 6th of January

I’m shopping for some groceries
Muzak piped in overhead
They only play the melody
I hear the words John Lennon said
Asking me to imagine
As I fight this cart with crooked wheels
He’s either bent over laughing
Or spinning in his Strawberry Fields

Where’s the road to Yasgur’s farm
He stares at me with pity and alarm
Says that crowd left here long ago
Scattered all to hell and Harper’s Ferry
On the 6th of January

And we’re driving home and the radio plays
What’s goin’ on? Marvin Gaye
Is it right on red or left on MLK
I look ahead and realize we’ve lost our way

Hey mister where’s the road to Yasgur’s farm
He stares at me with pity and alarm
Says that crowd left here long ago
Scattered all to hell and Harper’s Ferry
On the 6th of January
On the 6th of January

The more I read and listen to them, the more I understand.

4. Definitely a surprise for me

Did not expect Amy Grant to reflect on "hippy" stuff. I really enjoyed her song. Thanks for posting.

5. Okay, she's on the list with President Carter.

6. I'm sure the radical evangelicals will start posting Amy Grant is a demoness posts again.

7. I saw a few AI reports that she was headlong the alternative Super Bowl haldgkme

that TPUSA claims to be planning.

I guess this dispels that

8. I watched this the other night out of curiosity

I was impressed and appreciative of her evolution.

9. She is a Christian in the truest sense of the word.

She embraces LBGTQ and hosted the same sex marriage of her niece. She is not on Franklin Graham's Christmas Card list and doesn't really care.
