Today i released a new version of “Strength Through Music”, which was originally written for my first solo album, “Who Killed Amanda Palmer” in response to the Columbine shootings, which were (i cannot believe it) almost twenty years ago.
please watch. and i warn you, it’s emotional…that’s my high school, and those are kids from the drama department at Lexington high. I literally walk by my old locker. Columbine shattered the country. but since then, these shootings have simply become normal. it’s insanity. It isn’t just these mass shootings. statistically, there is a shooting In a American Shool almost every day. It’s enough. things have to change.
I released this new video though patreon as the last “thing” of the month, and the entire $15k of patreon revenue will be given to the March For Our Lives gofundme page, which is at approximately $2.8m of a $3m goal. I am hoping we can help a little. the fact that i could get this idea in a day, call Michael Pope, re-record the song and remix the video, put it out and have the support of the patreon is nothing short of revolutionary. we are able to be changing things, with art, with power.
