When I was in high school Reggie played a free show at rumsey playfield in Central Park. I graduated that summer and was headed to Savannah Ga. My highschool (current gf) and I + close friends went to the show. I was so exited and we showed up first so I could stand front row. We appear in a film shot at the show 😂 about a year later I took a print making course and one of my projects was a woodcut portrait of Reggie. A friend of a friend knew Reggie and connected me. He was so sweet, we met for coffee in Brooklyn and I gifted him a framed portrait. A beautiful soul, I’ll never forget it.

He blew my mind the 1st time I saw him - It was a TEDTalk.

It's really not about Jews and Muslims or Israelis. And palestinians, it's about the human family in treating each other with love and kindness. The problem is the governments of the world, not the citizens of the countries.
