Until then, let’s lend some support to our songwriters and artists and performers and music makers—because we need them now more than ever to lift our hearts, to speak the truth, to lead us into dream, to spread around joy, to tell us a story, to shake our bodies, to ignite our passion, to transcend us into love, and of course, to bring on the funk.
