John Lewis

[marc]

I don’t think he played guitar or made a record but one of my heros, Congressman John Lewis died last night. While Bull Connor, his dogs and those who supported him (and those who still do) will spend their eternity in purgatory, John Lewis has earned the wings of an angel and all of those Americans that he helped by standing in the front and taking the physical and emotional punishment that he took in those southern jails are better for having him on earth.

We are all poorer today now that he’s left us. We were all lucky to have been able to stand in his light.
