I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itโ€™s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

#AlexPretti will never experience another #sunrise, he was shot and killed by federal agents in MN for peacefully filming the protests. My condolences to his family. โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ˜ข

A great white egret poses for the camera. With its back to the camera and its head turning right and the right leg is slightly bent, it stands in the water with sea grass in the foreground.

A great white egret strolls through the low tide mudflats searching for food. The bird's body is white with blacklegs and a bright yellowish beak and is wearing its breeding plummage.
