On behalf of my state, I will recognize Michigan’s production of John Dingell, who wrote that healthcare bill. Way to go Great Lake State for saving the entire country a second time (the first time was Robocop).
RoboCop didn’t actually win until the movie that all fans/critics reject. METAPHOR?
The Creator Has a Master Plan (Peace)
Louis Armstrong ft. Leon Thomas
Okay, so this is odd. From the 1970 lp Louis Armstrong and His Friends, which also includes “an unlikely ‘We Are the World’-type vocal chorus that includes Ornette Coleman, Tony Bennett, and Miles Davis” on “We Shall Overcome,” here is Pops trading fours on Pharoah Sanders’ hippie free jazz proto-loft jazz freak-out hit “The Creator Has a Master Plan” with Leon Thomas, the dude who wrote and chanted the lyrics in the first place.
And the thing is, as the Destination: Out! folks contend, it actually works! Like, well. Old Louis’ haggard, world-weary gravel pit rasp intoning the simple to the point of stoopid mantra gives it a smoke-tinged real world knowledge that the squarely optimistic, hippie-dippy original lacked. Plus, the Oliver Nelson arrangement plays well to the fact that the song has always had a subtle but insistent nice hard beat in the back of it, which always made the thing work anyway.
Now somebody go back in time and make Dinah Washington do “Blase.”
