brown. >> thank you, chair. i appreciate everyone coming today for public comment. i think everything that everyone said, i see ben nodding his head, to definitely make sure that we connect to oewd looking at these things. but i have to say, you know, when we talk about safety in these kind of commercial stones, whezones,looking at alcohol lich food, i can just say, i can take one corridor in my district, the vaziadero, before it changed, it was a corridor that you did not want to walk down after dark. now you see people out, out shopping and you see people dining and completely changed that corridor and made it safer because there were bodies on the street. i also know that haight street, i've been doing a lot of door-knocking and when i have talked to people, i asked them, do you shot on haight street and a lot don't do that. steve madrid talked about it, going down to vadizadero to sh shop. do i feel like they should have a buffer zone that goes all the way to cole valley, no. so for me, these large buffer stones with these restricted, it doesn't doesn't seem fair for our little neighborhood corridor or cluster

brown, black, and pabeige" is there. i was thinking about mahailia jackson. the last thing that dr. king said on the balcony that we know of to fellow benon his way right before the bullet comes, he said, play "precious lord, take my hand," sing it real pretty for me. and then he's shot. and mahailia jackson sings it at his funeral. ♪ take my hand >> and there's just this -- you're right. it's not just comic, it's incredibly tragic. and yet here we are. >> and something about my great grand daddy on the coast of mississippi loved blues. that isn't limited just to the blues. >> country music and blues are cousins in a lot of ways, i believe. and you go back to some of the songs that hank williams sang, "i'm so lonesome i could cry." it's just great music. and great music has a way -- this is the thing, when we look back at history, including martin luther king, including our founding fathers, we tend to look at historical figures in a two dimensional way. and i think what music does, if you look at the music of the times that we're talking about, what it does is allows you to have that third dimension and connect it. these weren't god's
