Happy Me Again Monday my Flickr Friends :-)
You have to always continue to strive no matter how hard things get, no matter how troubled you feel. No matter how tough things get, no matter how many times you lose, you keep trying to win.
LL Cool J
In these troubled, uncertain times, we don't need more command and control; we need better means to engage everyone's intelligence in solving challenges and crises as they arise.

“It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.” - Mahatma Gandhi
A good tree bears good fruit. - Anon
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. - Moliere
Breakfast is always the best time for something juicy, sweet and fresh - it just feels like the right way to open the day. There's no right way, though, when it comes to choosing the fruit. - Yotam Ottolenghi
The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit. - Saint Teresa of Avila

"I'm not trying to be new school and I'm not old school - I'm classic. There's a lot of new cars and there's a lot of old cars, but I'm just classic in doing what I do."
-- LL Cool J (American rapper, songwriter, record producer, actor, and known car aficionado)
Graham-Paige was an American automobile manufacturer founded by brothers Joseph B. Graham (1882-1970), Robert C. Graham (1885-1967), and Ray A. Graham (1887-1932) in 1927. Automobile production ceased in 1940, and its automotive assets were acquired by Kaiser-Frazer in 1947. As a corporate entity, the Graham-Paige name continued until 1962.

LL Cool J Blue, part of a set of prints of rappers including Slick Rick, Tupac, and Biggie, was originally created in 2004, and is included in the MÖTUG Collective (Monsters of the Unda-Ground) mural at Keap Street and Hope Street in Williamsburg.
OBEY Giant is a street art campaign by artist and guerrilla marketer Shepard Fairey. The campaign originated with the André the Giant Has a Posse sticker that Fairey created in 1986 in Charleston, South Carolina. Distributed by the skater community, the stickers began showing up everywhere. In 1989, while a student at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design), Fairey released his manifesto and the Obey Giant campaign was born. The campaign, an "experiment in phenomenology" pushed primarily through stickers and prints, has a mission to attempts to stimulate curiosity and bring people to question both the campaign and their relationship with their surroundings. Because people are not used to seeing advertisements or propaganda for which the motive is not obvious, frequent and novel encounters with Obey propaganda provoke thought and possible frustration, nevertheless revitalizing the viewer's perception and attention to detail. Over time the artwork has been reused in a number of ways, most famously in with his "Hope" campaign poster for Barack Obama in the 2008 United States Presidential election.

A final bunch of photos from the Museum of the City of New York in East Harlem during a recent visit to NYC, this time from the Songs of New York Exhibit. Per the museum, "Songs of New York is an immersive interactive experience that introduces visitors to a full range of music from and about New York City, from the 1920s to the 2020s,. . .across genres, boroughs, and musical movements."
In addition to photographs from the museum's permanent collection, the Exhibit features lengthy looped videos highlighting musicians and songs from each of NYC's five boroughs--activated by stepping on a lighted map of each borough. It's very cool and I could've spent at least an extra hour trying to see/hear most of the videos, but kids had so much fun jumping back and forth from borough to borough that seeing the entire loop for each could've taken all day. See the museum's short video of the interactive map, along this Instagram post. See also Guardian article about the exhibit.
Here, photos by Janette Beckman, who documented early hip hop (and punk) in New York. As wikipedia notes, "the gritty feel of her work did not fit the 'airbrushed' aesthetic preferred at the time. She was passed on to smaller rap and hip-hop labels, where she photographed acts such as Salt-N-Pepa, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, and the Beastie Boys in their early days." fwiw, I contributed to the Kickstarter for the Smithsonian's Anthology of Hip Hop back in the early days of COVID and received extra swag, along with the gorgeous hardcover book that included Beckman's photo of Run-DMC in Hollis Queens, here (see my Flickr and Instagram post). In the other Beckman photos: KRS-One & Scott LaRock of Boogie Down Productions, Fab 5 Freddy, and LL Cool J ("Don't Call it a Comeback").
p.s. "the turntables might wobble but they don't fall down".
