The Caledonian Blues of Mark Knopfler
Hi everyone,
I have just written a piece on Mark Knopfler (Dire Straights) investigating the Caledonian Blues. I uncover how the album 'Sailing to Philadelphia' ties into history, Scottish identity, the blending of music genres and most intriguingly...The American Civil War.
I hope you enjoy, any feedback is appreciated.

"Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" (1993) And POC Representation In Media
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDKTBiHBmeI
If you haven't already seen it then you should definitely watch "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" (1993). It's an entertaining film about an absolute legend and I think that it is extremely relevant today. The movie shows how Bruce Lee was affected by the extremely racist and stereotypical portrayals of Asians in American media:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbiymQJsC8M
This encouraged Bruce Lee to become the pioneer for positive Asian representation in American media that he became. This is extremely relevant today because of #AsianAugust and the push for more positive POC representation in media that's currently happening. After Bruce Lee there really hasn't been much progress in better representing Asians in American media. Maybe this is finally changing? It also depicts some of the racism that Asians experience in America on a daily basis

Wong Fu Productions' "Asian Bachelorette" and Follow-Up
First Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag1IisyP1ak
Sequel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldMIVjyEN6s
Wong Fu Productions' "Asian Bachelorette" tackles how rare and "weird" it is to see Asian males on shows like The Bachelorette. The video went viral and showed that these kinds of things shouldn't be stigmatized or be viewed as strange. Now Wong Fu Productions is releasing their sequel "Asian Bachelorette 2" which should give more interesting takes.

Preach Love with Every Breath
NYC is a depressing place. It seems to be getting worse...but maybe that's me... getting too familiar with it.
I've come to see people don't see beauty in reality anymore...and I'm not sure if they ever did.
I see now that I've lived my life around people who are so insecure about themselves that they don't see the beauty around.
We can try to enlighten, but that doesn't work on people who are addicted to the feeling of egocentrism.
We can not get peace without love, but egocentrism destroys love.
All the language people use engages only the ego.
Try to notice the difference in the volume of words you see that engage the ego, compared to the volume of words you see that engage pro-social emotions: compassion, mercy, altruism, humility, etc..
Our actions are a direct consequence of our beliefs.
A culture of extreme systemic violence is culture of violent thinking.
It took a lot of time to notice the problem with words and language.
We won't get love if we teach it ....using the word very often.
We must speak the emotions we want to see in the world.
#Preach Love with Every Breath
The world needs us to do that.
