It’s often enough said that laughter is the best medicine.

I’d argue it’s a very, very effective medicine.  The best?  I don’t know.

Another wonderful medicine?  Having an honest, insightful, ego-minimized conversation with a friend.

And one more curative endeavor?  Wading through the waters of socially-learned toxic masculinity and homophobia to understand the fact that two men can be emotionally connected while not being physically attracted.

And alcohol.  Alcohol can be a wonderful medicine…a lubricant to break down psychological defenses and allow two people the room to connect.

Again, this is the best thing I’ve ever recorded.

Please have a listen…and enjoy the Dave Matthews Band and Michael Jackson at the bookends.
