“Oil,” by Xi
The song “Oil,” from XI, both suits and most certainly honors this day, Earth Day, when a barrel of oil arrives on the global markets utterly worthless — a negative sum that is not only ironic but undeniably apt.
To that end, Happy Earth Day everyone! Let’s take this day to commit to healing this incredible planet and, more essentially, to changing the way we live on it: lightly, with love, and with infinite respect for each other and the very terrains that give birth and lend majesty to our truly miraculous existence.
