      TIN SOLDIERS AND NIXON’S COMING

      WE’RE FINALLY ON OUR OWN

      THIS SUMMER I HEAR THE DRUMMING

      FOUR DEAD IN OHIO 🎵

      …I wonder if there’s a Chinese equivalent of CSNY who wrote a song about Tiananmen Square…?

          Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down

          Shoulda been done long ago

          The sense of resignation, the combination of slaughter and starting a long-overdue chore.

          What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground?

          How can you run when you know?

          How indeed? Beyond chilling.
