Song Review: Chris Thile, Sarah Jarosz and Nathaniel Smith - “Drive My Car” (Live, Aug. 5, 2022)

Beatles covers difficult to do well and are just as often pointless.

But when Chris Thile, Sarah Jarosz and Nathaniel Smith got behind the wheel to “Drive My Car” Aug. 5 in California, the ride was high-horsepower and exhilarating.

There’s just enough Liverpool left to be faithful. And just enough Nashville additive to make it phenominal.

The vocals were fab. The playing - Thile and Jarosz on mandolins; Smith on cello - enthusiastic and inventive. And the crowd understandably can be heard going bananas on this audience-shot video from the gig.

Royce Kurmelovs, RenewEconomy:

Smith previously held the seat of Wollondilly as a state‐Liberal MP between 2019 and 2023, where he served as the party whip, but was beaten by an independent candidate, Judy Hannan, who was supported by Climate 200. The former MP has also reportedly been a long‐time admirer of Donald Trump and his “Make America Great Again” movement. Multiple sources toldRenew Economythat during his tenure in state parliament, Smith kept a large stuffed bear made in the image of Trump, and other paraphernalia. Stickers on Smith's office fridge read “All aboard the Trump train!” and “Let's go Brandon”, an internet meme and political slogan that is a euphemism for “Fuck Joe Biden” used to attack the former US President. A Trump bumper sticker also adorned the door in his parliamentary office. […] [In the role of CEO of Master Plumbers NSW] Smith appeared to keep up his enthusiasm for the current US President, ordering a red MAGA‐style baseball cap with the words “Make Plumbing Great Again” printed on the front in March 2023. Smith posted photos of himself wearing the hat at workplace BBQs and during a Menzies Institute presentation by former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in December 2024. A post to the official Master Plumbers NSW Facebook page said: “Even Boris Johnson wants to make plumbing great again! Our CEO, Nathaniel Smith, had the privilege of meeting Boris Johnson last night and convinced him to don the hat!”

Walking Within Wisdom #31 - Nathaniel Smith - B:CIVIC 9/19/19

What would society look like that views everyone as an asset and no one as a liability? ~Nathaniel Smith

Amid the craziness of Denver Startup Week and the The People-First Economy online Summit, I stopped ALL of that… Thanks to the dearest Heather Bender Baker, I attended the B:Civic 2019 Summit B:Bold: Elevating Social Responsibility! This event always brings together some of my most favorite people and I was so very grateful to catch up with so many friends. There was so much WISDOM today and sadly I wasn’t doing much walking (only 2.2 miles this morning while listening to the People First Economy summit and going to an early session about women’s coworking MS.FITS + MS.CHIEFS: at Startup week, all of which I expect to write about in future walking posts :-)...

Today I had the good fortune to listen to and meet the closing keynote speaker at B:Civic, Nathaniel Smith. Smith is the Founder and Chief Equity Officer at Partnership for Partnership for Southern Equity http://psequity.org/ HE WAS JUST AMAZING!!!

Mr. Smith started his talk by explaining that “all medicine does not taste good” and if you are looking for someone that is going to do that, you have the WRONG person for the job… I am here to tell you he was the perfect person to give us all a bit of medicine.

Partnership for Southern Equity’s mission is: (PSE) advances policies and institutional actions that promote racial equity and shared prosperity for all in the growth of metropolitan Atlanta and the American South…. Using its strength in its ability to connect, educate, and empower diverse individuals and organizations to encourage just, sustainable practices for shared prosperity, PSE has stood at the forefront of promoting balanced growth and shared prosperity throughout metropolitan Atlanta and the American South.

He inspired us to be courageous and make an economy that works for everyone. Nathaniel explained that the racial divide has become a generational divide and we will never be able to import all of the people we need for the workforce of today, then showing us a map of “upward mobility” explaining that the American Dream is gone and we need to start hiring from “within”. “We have to stop being comfortable being comfortable” he said and went on to present amazing statistics how racial economic inclusion is GREAT for our economy (he has all kinds of amazing Colorado statistics)

He challenged us all to not just consider a Corporate Social Responsibility agenda we must create a RACIAL EQUITY AGENDA! Smith is proposing nothing short of a new covenant for inclusive prosperity…

He concluded by asking a couple of questions…

What would an economy look like that treats ALL EQUITABLY?

What would society look like that views everyone as an asset and no one as a liability?

How do we create a PEOPLE CENTERED ECONOMY?
