That song has hit me hard this week (check out @TayZonday for a recent arrangement). It’s partly because we treated it as a meme in 2007, yet what was sung is what’s being said today. It’s what #DoTheRightThing said in 1989. It’s what’s always been said, but hasn’t been heard.
And then, after being hit with the true meaning of the song, I learned @TayZonday is both from Minneapolis and autistic.
