Recalling Cobain, Bowie, and Prophetic Power of Art

Today, I'm recalling Cobain, Bowie, and prophetic power of art.  U.S. politicians think they are better scientists than scientists.  Climate history has shown politicians are not.  The above link goes to "Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (MTV Unplugged)," a song by David Bowie. Lyrics include "Oh no, not me/We never lost control." According to Wiki, Bowie commented about his song on BBC Radio "That song for me always exemplified kind of how you feel when you're young, when you know that there's a piece of yourself that you haven't really put together yet. You have this great searching, this great need to find out who you really are."  To this I would add, "The human race is very young.  We haven't collectively found out who we are.  More quiet times in meditation and nature are needed before quiet times and nature are gone.  After that, if those things happen, it will be too late."
