Hey all,
The cold winds are really blowing here in NYC. It's great to be back home nonetheless, back to the routine of making this dream happen. Many good things are happening on that front from placements around the web to our upcoming college tour to the new tunes almost in the can and the one that's here.
On a very cold day like this one, my mind turned to those who are really cold, those who don't even have the luxury of warming up. One of the virtually unspoken tragedies of this perpetual war (and all before it) we're fighting in foreign lands is what happens to the vets who survive but who come back to a home they have trouble fitting into. As a final but often unending gift from the military our brave young men and women too often come back to end up in the prison system, on the street, divorced, and generally wounded in ways that may not ever be cured completely. The sacrifices they make are too great.
This song may do nothing other than tell the story of one such vet who finds himself homeless on Xmas eve. That would be enough. If it inspires conversation about what we can do to share the burden all the better. If it means something to you, spread the word and join us on our mailing list at www.everyboy.net.
More soon. Be well.
Peace y'all,
eB
