How one little boy got so ugly'
Yes, my little girly, that might be
But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me "
-Woody Guthrie
Billy Bragg & Wilco - Man in the Sand (The Making of "Mermaid Avenue") is worth watching just for the scene after this song, in which Natalie Merchant pretends to catch bugs in Bragg's hair and eat them.
I'm trying hard to put away the ugly: the pride, the secrets, that stuff that makes little of God's name and impatiently discounts His yet to be grasped promises. But I still hope that my voice and music can be unique and uncompromised in this world. And I still pray for persistence of vision.
