Hi Jesse: I wrote you a tale of my misspent youth on your "Saying Hello" page. I guess on our death beds, all we'll have is our memories. It was for a time, and the time was good.

Happy Birthday month!

So, Dream of Life was written for you (I see by your mom's comment). How beautiful. I LOVE the album. And People Have the Power always brings tears to my eyes. Tears of joy! Especially in our current challenging time. We DO STILL HAVE THE POWER. Certain people just have to use it.

Thank you so much for sharing the video.

Ooh Jesse, what a beautiful experience I just had with your post!

“To redeem the work of fools...” hit me hard today. Such prescient words . If we take them to heart as never before... !!! We surely DO have the power! Your dad and mom were speaking to TODAY back in 1987. Transcendent!!

Great song - it should be our national anthem - and a lovely, hope-filled video. Music indeed brings us together. It's also, as scientific research has shown, the last thing we forget.

May your birthday month be a joy.

power on

into your birthday month.

I am making my way to the power of the t shirt, what it symbolizes, and the impact it can make.

Thank you for telling us the story of People Have The Power it’s such a powerful song and l really can’t remember how many times I’ve sang it along with the rest of the audience at your mum’s gigs. It has a force of its own, whenever there is a problem in the world be it war, famine, climate etc. and in my case l particularly remember an abusive boss , after singing it with much gusto, fist raised in the air, l confronted him the next day! People power indeed.

Dream of Life is a fabulous album and thank you for the wonderful videos. Love from London 🙏
