bluegrass Born this way

I am finding myself unable to explain how happy this makes me. Something about an almost perfect arrangement* of a song I liked anyway, instant gratification from Youtube when I wanted to hear it again, and by extension the pleasure of having indoor shelter with electricity and a piece of technology that allows me to be connected to similarly privileged people around the world. I guess privilege can mean different things for different people. The guy who lives on a bench outside Alewife station has a laptop (and a sleeping bag, and a wheeled cart of other possessions), which I suppose is more important to him than indoor shelter. I wondered about that this winter - does the station get locked when the T is closed? He clearly sleeps outside (under cover, by one of the bus berths), not inside the station.

That was fun! I love it when people take a song that's sung in one style and sing it in another. And yeah, it would have been great if they had included those other lyrics.
