*RARE* John Denver & Johnny Cash - Take Me Home Country Roads

Found this while going through my granddad’s VHS tapes and couldn’t find it anywhere online, so here it is.

Every time I’m lucky enough to have this hit my dash I listen to it, and every time I get chills all the way through.

superb

I’m so at peace rn

imagine harmonising with johnny cash on your own song, i’d die on the spot this is beautiful

That was John Denver’s gift though. He was an amazing song writer, but the man could harmonize with just about anyone.

Hey, I just wanna let you guys know something considering the shit that has been brought to light

It’s okay if you like any of the characters Vic voiced throughout the years. The characters have never been Vic and they never will be

(Besides, we all know that Edward Elric would literally deck Vic in the face for all the shit he’s done)

In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.

In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.

Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.

Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.
