my dad went to high school with arthur lee




mojo did an article about love and their singer arthur lee recently. lee died last year, so it was a fitting time for a retrospective. there was a pic of lee wearing a high school basketball jersey. it was the same school my dad went to, so i asked him if he remembered someone named arthur lee. he said, “yeah. sure. i think he ran track.” dad grabbed some yearbooks and we found a couple pics. no track pics, but there were a couple from the b-ball team. end of story. a good excuse to post a love song.

listen to:
love “be thankful for what you got”


go dad!
