Poetry of music: Across the Universe, with Rufus Wainwright
John Lennon’s version of Across the Universe is a simple, plainitive acceptance of the impermanent world; Rufus adds some energy and wistfulness. See what you think…everybody sing along!
"In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it's wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices." -- Elizabeth Gilbert

In the spirit of noting that organized crime, organized baseball, organized labour, and organized religion tend to engender controversy & occasional discord, I promise to be neither organized or critical of those who are.
