the other side

* on the Highway of My Life * the Isley Brothers laid it all out;

"…there's no time or place to be concerned with those on the other side of the road."

we on this side still have work to do - surviving & just being making a measure of joy out of sorrow, pain, chaos - whatever comes our way as we remember those who never made it to the road,

dying in the crossing - ancestrally - not too long ago to be forgotten; **

while we striders or drivers, Green Book in hand, cross an increasingly cur-sed land

of spirit, separation, based on sand ( ...meaning Silicon chips & AI, yall ).

'steern' wheel gripped at 10 & 2, now riding down unmetaphoric roads,

mind working the four w's & a how, eyeing our rear view mirror every so…;

scaling the high way when they go low anywhere - traveled each to & fro

& singing - heartsongs of sassy soul - loud, or sotto voce as we deign to slumber in a peaceful repose after any tumultuous poll, dreaming dreams filled with wonder. * 8/23 - lebuc - the other side * The Isley Bros. - The Highways of My Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDCN68X7Wy4&pp=ygUdb3RoZXIgc2lkZSBvZiB0aGUgcm9hZCBpc2xleXM%3D

** actually Me'Shell tipped me to this via a Vocalo interview of theirs, soit wasn't from my own depth that drop came from.

plus it's always good to remember everything - ( take that, Florida! )

AllMusic Staff Pick: The Isley Brothers 3 + 3

Turning 50 years old today, 3 + 3 proved to be a turning point in the Isley Brothers' creative direction. Moving from a trio to a sextet would be enough to change the sound of any group, but the addition of the supremely funky bassist Marvin Isley and particularly the Hendrix-infused guitar work of Ernie Isley hustled the band into a heavier, funkier, and slinkier direction. - Zac Johnson
