A great man, one of my heroes. The Nina Simone song is great, as always with her.
Dan,
I agree about Nina's song. I can't even imagine the the vibes in the room as she was performing it so soon after the event. Nina had such a strong sharp edge on her about the issue of racism. "Turning Point" is one of my favorites from her. So incredibly power through such deceptively subtle lyrics.
