Sounding my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of... Central Alabama! A few miles from Montgomery. This is a beautiful State, lots of history and amazing (quiet/lonely) hiking opportunities around Dadeville and Jacksons Gap.

I did the Colter Wall version of the cat singing country music. Just so we have the outlaw alternative to all those cats singing “Country Roads”.
(The song mentioned is “Kate McCannon” by Colter Wall, check it out if you don’t know this amazing singer yet !)

So I haven’t posted anything in a long time, but thought of this as I’m just celebrating the end of my third month in the United States ! It is the end of the semester, busy and stressful time for a teacher. But I really love the region I live in, that is : Northwest Missouri. Pictures will come soon to introduce you to St. Joseph, MO. In the meantime, enjoy this amazing song by Dave Rawlings Machine ! (which I think should be the American national anthem)

The concept was pure, simple, true, it inspired me, led a rebellious fire, but ultimately I learned the lesson that Goldman, Proudhon and the others learned. That true freedom requires sacrifice and pain. Most human beings only think they want freedom. In truth they yearn for the bondage of social order, rigid laws, materialism ; the only freedom man really wants is the freedom to become comfortable.

Memories from Joe Hisaishi’s symphonic concert (Studio Ghibli) in Paris, 2 days ago ! Such an amazing moment !!
Terrence Malick's "Badlands" (1973) and Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska" (1982) Springsteen wrote the song based on Malick's movie and a kind soul put them together.

The world's big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.
