Grant us brotherhood, not only for this day but for all our years - a brotherhood not of words but of acts and deeds.

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee.

We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.

Dreaming men are haunted men.

Broad-streeted Richmond . . . The trees in the streets are old trees used to living with people, Family trees that remember your grandfather's name.

I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.
