It Is What It Is…What Goes Around, Comes Around

…from the back cover of Dr. John’s 1970 album Remedies

Dr. John – What Goes Around Comes Around

Just yesterday afternoon I was telling one of my best friends, “as much craziness has happened already, I think this next 30+ days is gonna be truly nutty, nothing will surprise me…” and in less than 24 hours, I’ve been proven true. Waking up to some of the least surprising, but still extraordinarily shocking news of the year, this song from Dr. John has been playing on repeat in my mind. And, as some one who truly believes that no human being is ever beyond redemption, as long as they consciously move towards redeeming themselves, this song really should serve as a warning and a reminder to everyone. Or, as the dearly departed Dr. John The Night Tripper sings to us all, great and small:

…Life is not getting any younger,
It’s getting older and older,
You keep trying to be a little bolder,
Life might treat you a little colder and colder,
What goes around,
Comes around,
What goes around,
Comes around…
