Re: dealing with externals

I was lucky to be among several thousand music fans who shared a poignant moment last night that relates to this thread. The event was Brian Wilson at the Hollywood Bowl playing the Pet Sounds album. After a lively encore of early Beach Boys hits Brian announces that they have one last song for us and proceeds with his beautiful ballad "Love and Mercy". No speech, no video projections - just one perfect little lyric change in the line that starts at around 45 seconds, giving a nod to the current situation. That change and the crowd's reaction to it was heartfelt and healing to be part of. A most human moment made possible by a great song at the right time.
