"Black Day in July", has to rank right up there. The words, the music, the percussion. A song for all ages and all times. Hopefully something like that will never again happen here, in that magnitude. Sadly, we are not a peaceful world. BDIJ is a gut shot to all of us who have ever thought ill of one another. Like Smokey the Bear always said, "Only you can prevent forest fires". If only folks would listen. "The streets of Motor City are now quiet and serene. But the shapes of gutted buildings, strike terror to the heart, and you say how did it happen,and you say how did it start. Why can't we all be brothers, why can't we live in peace. But the hands of the havenots, keep falling out of reach. Black day in July."
