Blindness

He's blind, in a way, plays the guitar upside down, and sings like a goddam angel:

.
Like an ancient anthem for us all to join in.
There is an immense reassurement in his voice - a voice that speaks for millenia of our common existence - one of the oldest human voices. He reminds us that the beauty of humanity will always come through, despite the hardships - and in the case of his people, the barbarianism - the barbarianism of the so-called civilized European whites. No matter how hard things get, the beauty within us will shine through - artists remind us of this constant presence within ourselves - the pull towards beauty.
