An early '90s memory: After playing The Zawinul Syndicate's "South Africa" during KCOU's "Jazz Odyssey" program, the DJ praised the song's message, saying that we all have to live together in the same world. He said we can't live in a world where our mindset is, "I'll take half, and you take half."
That idealistic outlook is admirable. However, the way America is now, that goal has grown increasingly out of reach. I wonder when--or even if--it will ever be truly achievable.
