I would love for Senator Cruz, and everyone creating fear mongering and hatred, to consider creating hope, optimism and love.
I did not grow up singing Yiddish.
I never publicise in advance what I'm going to be singing because I never quite know until I start. I often change my mind halfway through. I sometimes throw in stuff about politics or Shakespeare or do songs in Yiddish.
Actually, the language in Shakespeare is wonderfully musical. You need to hear the music to connect with the words.
I love the idea of giving up the vengeful nature that so many of us have.
Violence only perpetrates more violence, and it becomes a vicious cycle. There are political situations all over the world where there are untold acts of revenge for incidences, and thousands and thousands of lives are lost because of them.
