Singing the world into being with Taylor Swift… If I had to make a list of the five most important things in my life, music would make the cut. Therefore, the Grammys are like my Super Bowl. I watch it every year with excitement and joy. I cry. I note the passing of time. I look for that Grammy moment that happens every so often that seems to change the zeitgeist of the times. And I am always on the lookout for new music to love. So of course I watched this years show and have thoughts to share.
Beautiful as always. My husband and I met due to numerous crossovers on our top 5 most important things (I think it was 5 things you can't live without). In 2003, for me, that was
My dog, Rube.
My cameras
My bikes
My down comforter
Hmmmm. . . the last one escapes me.
I think mine has changed since then. I'll have to get back to you on this one. ☺️
Dig it! All of it! Love this post, Maria! I appreciated JayZ saying just keep showing up. Keep showing up.
Freedom! I woke up with that word on my lips. George Michael takes it straight to the heart. Sometimes I listen to that song to remind myself how much it matters.
I love reading your stuff.
Freedom.
Sing.
Thank you Maria for this beautiful essay. And thank you Sinead O'Connor for calling out the abusers.

And let’s not forget Joe Strummer:
By order of the Prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin, they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar-pickin' thumb
