Take away your paper & pen Stacks of money and your foolish grin And go Get me off the backwards ride Take away your greedy way and go See the woman standing at the door World gone by Again and again Pushed on Pushed on World gone by Take away your companies Take away your societies and go Take away your fictitious books of fact See the woman standing in the door World gone by Again and again See the blisters growing on your feet Pushed on Pushed on World gone by I wouldn't want to be Living in a world of ecstasy with you Wasted arms; wasted legs Wrapped round this machine Military machine I wouldn't want to be Living in a world of ecstasy with you Taken' away your companies Takin' away your societies and go. Get me off this backwards ride, Takin' away your fictitious books of fact. Yeah, do mum-ba-si-be-ah ‘Ecstasy’ by Rusted Root Songwriters: Jenn Wertz / Jim Dispirito / Jim Donovan / John Buynak / Liz Berlin / Michael Glabicki / Patrick Norman This politically charged song was inspired by Rusted Root lead singer Michael Glabicki's trip to Nicaragua in 1987 during the Contra War. Growing up in Pittsburgh, Glabicki spent his high school years on activism, fighting against apartheid, nuclear weapons, and racism. One of his causes was Central America, which led him to Nicaragua on a humanitarian mission to Pittsburgh's sister city, San Ysidro. He worked on improvements to their irrigation and drinking water systems, but also took note of the politics. "The country that I came from had really started the wars down there, and it didn't make sense to me," Glabicki told Songfacts, referring to the Reagan administration practice of arming the Nicaraguan rebel forces. Source: songfacts.com When I Woke is the second album and major-label debut of the American world rock band, Rusted Root. It has been certified Platinum in the United States. Rusted Root is an American worldbeat rock band formed in 1990 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by singer-guitarist Michael Glabicki (born January 21, 1969), bassist Patrick Norman and percussionist Liz Berlin. The band got its start as the house band playing a weekly gig in Jack's Back Room on Pittsburgh's South Side. The band achieved fame in 1994 with its platinum-selling album When I Woke, which included the hit single "Send Me on My Way". The song has been featured prominently in many films and commercials. Rusted Root has sold more than three million albums, and is currently on hiatus. The band is known for its fusion of acoustic, rock, world and other styles of music, with a strong percussion section that draws from African, Latin American, and Native American influences. Michael Glabicki has acknowledged the popular success of Peter Gabriel's 1986 album So as an influence on his decision to incorporate worldbeatinto his own music. The band's lyrical content varies but often talks about Christianity and Judaism. The group's 2012 album, The Movement, was fan-funded. Source: Wikipedia

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
