Aw man.
Love the video; thank you. “Speed of the Sound of Loneliness” is an old favourite. I often sang it in a baritone register to soothe restless babies to sleep. My daughter particularly liked John Prine and Neil Young as a baby. Go figure.

Sad to see “the Unrepentant Marxist” go. I appreciated many of his film reviews, especially.
Most people accept the way things are and live their lives accordingly. But a few do not. They rebel against the status quo. Some abandon the world in one way or another, living off the grid, refusing to settle down, joining a religious cult. Others dig in their heels and devote their lives to analyzing society and doing what they can to change it.
He was a steadfast supporter of the Cuban Revolution, and, without exception, he fought against racism, sexism, homophobia, and the oppression of transgender people. He believed that ours is a racial capitalism, and he stood foursquare for the end to the exploitation of Indigenous peoples, in the United States and everywhere. He took the time to make careful analyses of every matter that concerned him. He was an opponent of U.S. imperialism, but he also felt strongly that it was important to examine the class composition of all societies. He was a radical environmentalist, envisioning a world without industrial agriculture and a technology that fit eco-socialism.

Liu died unexpectedly of pancreatic cancer earlier this month, just weeks ahead of a major, career-defining retrospective at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. The courageous, quietly revolutionary artist channeled her youth in Maoist China into monumental artworks that focus on working class people and immigrants.

Her website notes:
27 August 2021 We were very sad to hear from Barbara’s family that she passed away yesterday evening. A gifted composer and arranger, Barbara will be greatly missed for her talents and originality. We’ll also miss her vivid, first-hand recollections of her working life – she made a remarkable contribution to popular music.
