Wonderful. Love the emotion you put into your story Robert and especially letting go at the end.

A funny, sweet and oh so courageous bit of storytelling.

Oh my…. You are good. I loved this. I am on a journey trying to fearlessly let a roof or two burn too! Thank you for sharing this podcast with me. It was good to hear your voice again I will share with other old friends in SFSD. hugs to u

I’ve never heard of that song before. But it reminded me of this other song Her Hair is on Fire, which goes basically the same: “her hair, her hair, her is on fire – but she don’t want no water so let her fucking hair burn.”
