Sweet Lorraine - Fred Stobaugh

 [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDi4hBWsvkY]


I'm breaking the fourth wall here, or whatever the equivalent of that is in this situation, but I'm in the middle of updating this entire blog, and this post was one I knew was short and needed some work. When I clicked on the link to edit the entry, I had honestly forgotten what this song was about, and I had definitely forgotten all about the story. After looking up the song again, I found the six part YouTube documentary that covers the entire story of Fred's song.


If you have thirty minutes or so of your life to give to something, give it to this series. If you don't have all that time, watch the first and last video in the series. I highly recommend the entire thing, though. I just can't get past this story and how touching it is. I'm an empath if there ever was one, but even if your the hardest person out there, you'll shed a tear or two for Fred's story. I wish there were more stories like this that circulated on social media instead of the useless arguing we see so much everyday.
