John Prine (1946 – 2020)

“I don’t choose what I paint. It’s very, very difficult to write a song or to paint a picture. And I think people who do it, whose work we admire, like John Prine — he doesn’t one day sit down and think, ‘I know, I’m going to write a song about old people and what it must be like to be ignored in old age and the connections between people.’ He wrote that song after he spent a summer delivering laundry to old people’s homes and he would sit and talk to some of the old folk before. And so it’s an expression of some love that he felt in his life and maybe all great work stems from love and from the ability to love.” — Roger Waters

Freedom Statue

Liberty Statue

Today’s photo comes from Budapest a few summers ago. I didn’t know this at the time of my visit, but the statue was erected after World War II by the Hungarian people (or maybe the Soviets), and the inscription below it originally read:

“To the memory of the liberating Soviet heroes
the grateful Hungarian people
1945”

Of course, the Hungarians soon came to hate their “Soviet heroes” so in 1989 after the “heroes” were given the boot the inscription was changed to:

“To the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for the independence, freedom, and prosperity of Hungary”.
