Curtiss King

Damn, I feel good! 

Curtiss King does too! 

This song is a fucking celebration. After bad news after bad news after bad news! It so good to hear the truth! “I promise I respect you for that!” 

This is Mr. King’s “Make You Feel That Way,” and fuck if I didn’t need a new “Make You Feel That Way!” This is the kind of song I can put on repeat with the windows down and a giant creeper smile on my face as I roll down Fig like, what’s the fucking problem? 

There ARE problems. There IS bad news. People are yelling and dead and scared. People with money keep coming up with ways to take more money from people who already have so little. I saw the end of a police pursuit while walking home from lunch with my kids. 

But I refuse to succumb! 

I refuse to let it feed my hate and anger. I refuse to let it consume me. Because there are also so many backyards filled with families celebrating life! Music coming from backyards! The smells of meat! The joke shared with the cashier at the grocery store! The nod to the liquor store clerk who sees me coming with the kiddos for an summer afternoon candy run! The kids are playing little league and the park is full of people doing what people in parks do! 

And this is the song that serves that! “Glory”!
