About "Motivational Speaker" by Alvin Youngblood Hart
A wry, shuffling blues with a smirk. 'Motivational Speaker' finds Hart mocking empty platitudes over a loose, ragtime-inflected groove. The guitar bounces like a self-help seminar on quaaludes—upbeat on the surface, but the undercurrent is pure skepticism, a knowing nod to life's messy realities.
