California Dreamin’

NOTE: Unfortunately the copyright holder who owns the rights, and hasn’t bothered to share, had it taken down. It was a beautiful tribute in honor of all the victims of the L.A. fires. Seems a shame that a copyright holder would be so selfish as to not share something so meaningful and healing to the victims, but here we are.

This brought tears to my eyes as I watched it live on the Grammys last Sunday.
It still moves me today.

The Real World / Pedro Zamora

I was a young buck back in 1994 who lost many friends and lovers to AIDS. Pedro became a hero for me then and he still is today. He’s one of the many talented bright spots we lost before there was a drug cocktail that made a long life possible for HIV positive persons.
This is not short video, but a video that was worth every minute of my time. So much so I’m about to watch it again. I find its message vitally important given today’s political climate. Thus I share it here in hopes that not only will you watch it, but also share it with others too.
Oh, and have a tissue handy as I needed one a couple times while watching.
