This could be the end of the world as we know it. I don't feel fine.
I am old enough to know what American fascism is like, having grown up in the deepest of the Deep South in the 1960s and '70s. I am old enough to have been threatened, by my parents, with being sent to "the n***er school" when I acted up -- as if that legally were possible then.
Having grown up that way informs who I am. Having spent a lifetime trying to dig myself out of that fascistic black hole -- and if you don't think Jim Crow was fascism, open up a history book, why don't you -- informs who I am even more. It also informs what 3 Chords & the Truth is . . . every damn week.
That doesn't mean the Big Show isn't fun. It is. But, trust me, it's a damn high-wire act.
And here we are, a week and a half out from the most consequential presidential election of my lifetime. And fascism is on the ballot. That's because, as it turns out, a lot of Americans are. . . .
That does not surprise me. I'm a Southerner, after all.
There's not much more I can say about that, so I won't. I'll let the music do the talking from here on.
It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.
