Pharrell William’s Freedom:
After a day of attending to personal matters, with the background worries about the pandemic, the racial justice vs President Trump tragedy, and wondering how to rescue those who, despite all the evidence of his vast incompetence, are still Trump supporters from their terrible misjudgment – yes, I know, that’s terribly arrogant – I found myself remembering this video. Yes, it’s years old, maybe everyone’s seen it, but it has a life and vividness and even droll humor that reminds me that hope can still be right around the corner.
Sure, his Happy video is fun as well, but I think the overt seriousness of Freedom makes it more memorable, and more apropos of the times.
