Today’s song, I AIN’T AFRAID, is written and performed by Holly Near on my “Ebenezer’s Make Over” album.  It’s a courageous song about religion because this topic is so loaded with extremist ideas and sensitive, defensive feelings about people’s most devout spiritual beliefs and stories about their God or gods, that it can be physically dangerous to tread on these pathways.  Holly does it with such powerful skill, grace and truth, showing clearly that it’s the people who act violently and self-righteously in the name of their ‘god’ who are in fact, dangerous.  ‘Ebenezer’s Make Over’ is a collection of songs from the feminist men’s and women’s movement in the form of Charles Dicken’s ‘Christmas Carol’.  You can get it from my site, or by emailing me directly at peter@peteralsop.com.  Please subscribe, and I look forward to seeing you next week, for another ‘Song to Chew’.
