are not part of that far RW pro-NRA, pro-War cabal.
I'm glad they are stepping up. Good on Brooks.

Brooks, who normally stays away from political issues, then grabbed his acoustic guitar to sing a song that he wrote with Tony Arata (who wrote Brooks classic The Dance), which Brooks hasnt yet recorded. The song, which features a father singing to his children, includes the lines To my children I make this vow: to matter then, it must matter now/ If were ever going to take a step beyond the road from here to gone/ Because theres an endless stream I see walking in my dreams/ So many different voices, so many different wings/ Those without are those with plenty and the meekest are the strong/ All are one among the many marching on the road from here to gone/ Were all one among the many marching on the road from here to gone.
Wiping away a tear, Brooks, the father of three daughters, then reiterated his message to Gonzalez: "Miss Emma, everybody who will be marching: Love. Do not let hate win. Love. He closed with another shout-out for the march, saying, Be a part of it.
