Peace Love and Understanding

In 1969 Kurt Vonnegut wrote:
“I sometimes wondered what the use of any of the arts was. The best thing I could come up with was what I call the canary in the coal mine theory of the arts. This theory says that artists are useful to society because they are so sensitive. They are super-sensitive. They keel over like canaries in poison coal mines long before more robust types realize that there is any danger whatsoever.”

Peace, Love and Understanding was written by Nick Lowe about the hatred and fear he felt in 1974 and that we are still living through today. Come on now, we can do better.
