Culture

Bill Withers. The explicit statement of community: we carry each other when we can't carry ourselves.

USA for Africa. The most literal possible community anthem - the music industry deciding it was one community for one moment.

James Taylor. Community as the person who shows up when you call. Simple and irreplaceable.

Bob Marley. Community as a spiritual reality - the human family choosing to recognize itself as one.

Barbra Streisand. People who need people are the luckiest people in the world. Community as the admission that you are not complete alone - and the fullness that opens when you stop pretending otherwise.

Woody Guthrie. Community as the radical claim that the land belongs to everyone walking it, not only those who own it. Every verse a different person, all of them equally here, equally home.
