In Their Words: “I wrote this song for my friend Bob in many ways. Bob was a retired Knoxville Police Officer who I’d make bacon and eggs for every morning and we’d watch the news and watch the birds and he’d tell me stories about Carlene and the boys. I miss him, still. He was a richly problematic man who I loved deeply. A photo of him still hangs above my desk. I know he thought of me as one of his kids and even though we disagreed about nearly everything, his care and sensitivity are what drive me to continue to connect and relate with folks who seem so far removed from me.” — Adeem the Artist
