I read this over on Gaping Void and thought wait - there’s a much older - more famous story - so I found it for you - so you didn’t have to.
The logo in my email signature in 🍎📧 just stopped rendering earlier this week. Took until today to work out what was wrong - noting that I hadn’t changed anything.
As of this morning … fixed - though no idea why it stopped working to begin with.

This post is extracted from something I received from my friend 🔗 Randall Rospond - over on Maui.
He writes …
I first became aware of this song in 1989 when I purchased the cassette of Jackson Browne’s ‘World in Motion’ … and it spoke to me deeply then and has throughout the years.
It speaks to me more these days in the midst of America’s great lying disaster in the White House and the ruin of what I believed the USA had always ‘tried’ to stand for. Freedom. The song was written by Little Steven … and released on his Disciples of Soul album 1984. With this … I pray some sanity , rule of law , integrity , honesty and compassion return to America and the world … asap. … peace and aloha Randall
