I spotted the — or at least my — first purple martin of the season at the martin “complex” at croton point park yesterday morning; then last night I heard that John Prine imo the greatest American songwriter short of Bob Dylan, had passed to Covid 19
So whether you put on Bonnie Raitt doing Angel for Montgomery or the Divine Miss M singing Hello in There, or John singing Lake Marie or Souvenirs or Paradise, one song we know he had right written during the Vietnam War, when you see those “politicians“ on stage with their flag pins later today or at any time: “Your Flag Decal won’t Get You into Heaven Anymore”. Good birding and stay safe out there. L.
