Very sad to hear about John Mann. He was a beautiful, mischievous dude with a deep gift as a performer. His eyes held a long tunnel of light, and he shared it generously with all who came in his orbit. Canada is lesser and Venice has sunk.

Lots of mentions of Home For a Rest in the tributes to John Mann. But worth noting that 25 years ago SOTW were singing about climate change, disabled rights and taking care of our most vulnerable.
