The great Sir Roger Scruton, English philosopher--a hero and example of courage in his own sphere. I am very happy to share him with you through my simple tribute and discussion. He was a kind, gentlemanly example of intellectual rigour, and it is a sadness and grief that he died in January of cancer. But he leaves us with much wisdom in his many works. I hope to populate my future library with his writings!
Here is my song about him from the #SongsofCourage series:

This is part of an ongoing "song theme" series I'll be doing throughout 2020 with regular YouTube commentary on my channel. I'll be sharing the gamut from politics, culture, and art, to love, injustice, and true humanity.
I offer everything frankly from the perspective of a Catholic, female, conservative millennial, but everyone of good will is totally welcome here. My recent series on socialism (each theme is both songs and commentary) sparked plenty of discussion across my various social media platforms. If you want to check out those songs and commentaries, you can watch the whole Socialism Songs series here:
