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. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free, Bruce Springsteen
Most of what I know about St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital comes from @atpfm. I just learned the story of how it was begun from Marlo Thomas in her interview with Alan Alda on his Clear + Vivid podcast. After explaining how her father, Danny Thomas, decided to create it, she goes into depth about how the research works and the joy it brings to her to run it since 1993 when her father passed.

Almost 60 years ago she defied television conventions with her depiction of a young woman succeeding on her own in the big city. And for the last 30 years, along with her own busy career, she’s helped keep alive and thriving her father’s dream of a research hospital for children.
@zkarj As you live in New Zealand, and are interested in aviation, thought you might find this interesting.
