Happy Mother’s Day!
“I want to say a little something that’s long overdue
The disrespect to women has got to be through
To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends
I want to offer my love and respect to the end.”
~ Adam Yauch (MCA)
A small verse, but a big message.
Today we shine a light and show love to all the moms.
Love. Respect. Always.
A tribute to the late Sly Stone, one of music’s true originals. This week’s Old School Wednesday revisits “If You Want Me to Stay” ~ a stripped-down funk classic that hits with honesty, groove, and soul. Plus: a personal story, a deep sample dive, and the legacy Sly left behind.
A deep cut with staying power. “Fearless” by Pink Floyd ends with the sound of Liverpool fans singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” A timeless track about quiet resistance, self-direction, and solidarity ~ even when you’re walking alone.
A protest song disguised as a summer anthem. M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” still 🔥 15 years later — with swagger, sarcasm, and a Clash sample that refuses to age.
