Song of the Day for Howard Kranz

Twenty-second in a series of songs for Howard and me to cover, or be inspired by, or something.

You Can Make It If You Try

You Can Make It If You Try ... (Sly Stone)

"You Can Make It If You Try" by Sly and the Family Stone

You can make it if you try
You can make it if you try
Push a little harder
Think a little deeper
Don't let the plastic bring you down

All together now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can make it if you try
You can make it if you try

Time's still creeping
Especially when you're sleeping
Wake up and go for what you know

All together now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can make it if you try
You can make it if you try

You'll get what's due you
And everything coming to you
You got to move if you want to be ahead

All together now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can make it if you try
You can make it if you try

The Middle of the Beast

Do It, Chapter 3 - The Middle of the Beast.

You Americans are very lucky. You live in the middle of the beast.

You are fighting the most important fight of all, in the center of the battle.

If I had my wish, I would go back with you to North America to fight there.

I envy you.

—Ernesto "Che" Guevara referring to the importance of metropolitan resistance, cited in J. Rubin’s Do It!)
