Tim, I love when you tell your own story/ies. And Mylon's story is also fascinating. May be rest in peace and power. I do believe in the last video that was some folk drumming around a fire and chanting to Yemaya! Am I correct that there was acceptance and understanding in his song?
You are hearing that correctly! I've always wanted to know more about the hows of that! And that it slipped by conservative record executives will always be hysterical to me!
I was listening to TRAIN'S UP IN THE SKY as part of my vocal warm up for church yesterday. I really loved his cover of SHOWER THE PEOPLE, which was surprisingly soulful (not sure why he reversed the lyrics in the chorus). May he rest.
I haven't seen that interview, but that is RICH and VERY MYLON! He was quick witted! They don't make them like that anymore. I don't think a week goes by that I don't listen to his music, but doing the deep dive into his entire discography over the past two weeks has been a rich, soulful treat. His music has always felt like home to me. I'm grateful he was and is. Thank you for this wonderful tribute, Anthony!
The execs didn't know what they were seeing. Ecstasy and grace come from the same place.

Agreed re: "Shower The People." And "Trains" is just legendary. A great pop-rock cut that should have found legs outside of CCM. Greatness!
