1. Catching up through the @Political_Beats episode on Living Colour w/@EsotericCD @ScotBertram & @stevesingiser is forcing me to rethink Time's Up & explore their later work. I had the hits from Vivid, but Time's Up was the only Living Colour album I ever owned.

2. I was disappointed in the album, disliked some of its transitional conceits, lost my copy with my Trade Center Office & never replaced it, so my memory was "meh," but I instantly recalled songs like Type, Pride, & Love Rears Up Its Ugly Head that I hadn't heard in years.

3. Looking back now, listen to Type from 4:10 on. I had no way of knowing this then, but: that's a Pearl Jam song. That coda would fit perfectly if you dropped it into Ten.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HbF3EAt3ck …

5. OTOH, thing that I've known for years: Open Letter (to a Landlord), which rocks, may be left-wing economics in its intended message, but it also has some deep small-c conservatism about the rootedness of people in place that would not be out of place at a MAGA rally.

6. I mean: you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see You've got to fight For your neighborhood That is a message that hums for a lot of the Right today.

As I said on the show, it could have been subtitled "The Ballad Of Robert Moses."

You could read those lyrics to JRR Tolkien or Russell Kirk & they'd be nodding along.
