‘Takin’ It To The Streets’

By /
Michael McDonald and Henry Kapono just did a killer version of the Doobie Brothers chestnut. McDonald said the song was particularly appropriate to the occasion of the Dalai Lama’s visit.

That it is. Sample lyric:

Take this message to my brother

You will find him…everywhere

Wherever people live together

Tied in poverty’s despair

Are you … telling me the things you’re gonna do for me

I ain’t blind and I don’t like what I think I see 

Takin’ it to the streets (takin’ it to the streets)

Takin’ it to the streets (no more need for runnin’)

Takin’ it to the streets (takin it to the streets)

—Chad Blair
