June 2020 from June 2020 by Outburst on the 66
Lyrics to this song came to me on a summer night in June 2020 during the Covid 19 pandemic. It was the week of Puerto Rican independence which is marked by nightly unofficial parades of cars and revelers waving Puerto Rican flags and celebrating. As I was watching the parade from my roof, unknown to me there was a mass demonstration building down town. As I surveyed the airspace of the city I noticed at least 100 police helicopters shining searchlights fanned out across the city with a concentration in down town. I later found news of the demonstrations and events unfolding downtown and across the city.
Outburst on the 66 takes it's name from a song by the eclectic Chicago musician/artist Wesley Willis. Although rooted in indie rock, metal and post punk the band incorporates flavors from their favorite artists in classic rock, funk, jazz, hip hop, soul and easy listening. Take a gamble with the next 2 minutes of your life and listen! I am confident you will feel rewarded by your decision !
