On last week’s
edition of “CBS Sunday Morning,” there was an interesting piece about rock
musician David Lee Roth. Unbeknownst to us, he has had a rich life outside of
his music with the band Van Halen and as a solo artist. For a period of time he
did a stint as an emergency medical technician in The Bronx! But in recent
years he has been spending his time creating artwork using sumi-e, the Japanese
art of ink painting. You can watch the CBS piece here:
Of course, David Lee Roth is not to be confused with our friend, singer/songwriter David Roth, who has written a song about the upcoming election.
Hearing this made me wonder how many other singer/songwriters have been inspired by current events, and I found quite a few. Here are just a few I enjoyed.
If you have not already voted, make sure you have plan. And if you have not yet made a plan, make one now!
Love,
Rebecca

My mail-in ballot, which I have been using for several years now, is all filled out. I intend to go to the drive-thru drop-in ballot box I typically use (rather than mail-in) on Monday. Florida, and Pinellas County in particular, makes it fairly easy to vote by mail-in ballot. There are plenty of "manned" drop-box locations, including a few that are drive-thru, so you do not have to even get out of your car. They opened last week, on 10/19. I received my ballot much earlier and could have simply dropped into a mailbox. But I prefer the drop-in boxes. And in a day or so, I can check "VotePinellas" website to make sure they have received my ballot.
