^ Are you trying to cope with despair? Take comfort in the compassion and empathy of Bill Withers and John Prine <

^ MUS-CORONAVIRUS-WITHERS-PRINE: THE

These were the soldiers John Prine and Bill Withers wrote almost 50 years ago to illustrate the horrific record of the Prine in the Vietnam War in “Sam Stone”, about a veteran drug addict with “a habit of a hundred dollars “, and Withers in” I can’t write for lefties “, in which the injured narrator asks his boyfriend to take a letter from his mother.

The two songs, the first of Prine’s eponymous debut in 1971, the last of Withers in 1973 “Live at Carnegie Hall” are vivid reminders of a time when Americans were forced to weigh the value of human life against want perceived to defend our individual freedoms. . (Does that sound familiar to you?) Yet, as grim as every man’s situation seems, the empathy that runs through the two pieces is ultimately reassuring; it offers the hope that someday someone will understand your problems as completely as these two songwriters understand their characters.

CORONAVIRUS-PAPARAZZI: LA In more than two decades of working as a paparazzi photographer, Giles Harrison went to the extreme to get the shots he wanted.

He hung onto the outside of a helicopter to take aerial photos of the 1997 wedding of Andre Agassi and Brooke Shields.

^ CORONAVIRUS-MCNAMARA-COLUMN: THE

I’m not talking at the federal or local level, although President Donald Trump’s dismissal of pandemic experts and ignorance of the medical community in the first few weeks, not to mention California’s decision to stop funding a lot of mobile hospitals have certainly contributed to the crisis.

No, I’m talking about each one of us, bathed as we have been for decades in apocalyptic stories, many of them focused on illness and / or government ineptitude.
