standing for so much always and particularly this month. NINA SIMONE was born feb 21st, this Black History Month- an unwavering advocate for her people, a revolutionary, a singer of love songs and for the Egyptian people's unflagging thirst for freedom to choose. The lady is perfect representative for Patti Smith's rhythm.
