Getting people’s attention is complicated for me, because I grew up surrounded by mixed messages about that.
My late father loved getting people’s attention with his singing and his humor; my mother preferred not to have people’s attention at all. Also, I was told not to attract the attention of the “evil eye” if I called attention to anything positive, including my accomplishments or hopes. I think Jewish families in the 60s often believed that getting people’s attention was dangerous.
Today, I might be getting people’s attention with my ukulele and my protest song “You Don’t Scare Me” at a Labor Day protest march in Boston.

I might also be getting people’s attention with my parody of “The Age of Aquarius” — “The Age of Nefarious.”

What are your thoughts and feelings about getting people’s attention?
As always, I appreciate getting people’s attention here, so thank you for that!
