Brazile\u2019s stored possessions ruined by flood waters<\/p><\/div>\n

By Andrew Patterson<\/p>\n

Donny Brazile stands outside the wreckage of his storage unit across from French Broad Chocolate, painfully taking stock of his total loss. He pulls out a mud-soaked box filled with 40 years\u2019 worth of memorabilia ranging from LA to Iowa, and Nashville to Florida. A poster slips out from the mess; a worker passing by catches a glimpse.<\/p>\n

\u201cWas that you?\u201d she asks.<\/p>\n

Donny Brazile<\/p><\/div>\n

He nods. \u201cYeah, that was me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, you were handsome when you were younger,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

In a day overshadowed by devastation, it\u2019s a brief but powerful moment of humanity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, it made my whole day,\u201d he says and laughs while recounting that moment with me.<\/p>\n

The loss of irreplaceable memorabilia and family heirlooms is tragic, but losing his stage equipment\u2014the lifeblood of his music\u2014was soul-destroying. The amps and speakers that powered his band, The 402010s, his solo career and even young musicians just starting out\u2014all destroyed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a cruel follow-up to COVID-19, when two years\u2019 worth of bookings vanished overnight. He had just moved to Asheville, seeking a fresh start after hurricanes and heartbreak drove him away from the beach. But music has always been his anchor. And in times of loss, he leans on the words of one of his idols, Neil Peart, the drummer for Rush: \u201cWhat cannot be altered must be endured.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donny knows what endurance means. Music flows through him like a river, finding its way into our ears and souls. No matter how many times life knocks him down, his 5-year-old self\u2014the one who first fell in love with music\u2014would do it all over again in a heartbeat. \u201cIf you do what you love and you love what you do, you never work a day in your life,\u201d the saying goes.<\/p>\n

At 8, he dreamed of being the next Elton John. At 11, it was KISS. At 12, he saw Rush live, and that moment changed everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went and saw Rush, the rock band from Canada,\u201d he says. \u201cIt just so happened to be career week in the 7th grade\u2014May 17, 1978. I\u2019ll never forget it. I still have the poster on my wall today.\u201d<\/p>\n

That experience cemented it for him: he was going to be a rockstar.<\/p>\n

At 16, he told his mother he was quitting school to move to Hollywood. Instead of panicking, she handed him a magazine clipping that read, \u201cI\u2019d rather be a failure doing something I love than a success doing something I hate.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s lived through wildfires in LA, tornadoes in Iowa, hurricanes in Florida and now the devastating floods of Asheville. But this time, the loss has been met with something unexpected.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo much loss was matched\u2014and surpassed I would argue\u2014by so much love,\u201d he says. \u201cThat theme really stuck with me. I\u2019ve never been more grateful for community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friends helped him set up an LLC to receive relief funds. Others connected him with people<\/p>\n

who could replace his lost equipment. The outpouring of support has been overwhelming. And now, he\u2019s channeling that energy into something bigger: a benefit concert on June 8\u2014a testament to resilience, community and the power of music to heal. \u201cIt\u2019s not just a gig,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a gathering. A way to bring people back together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyrics from a song that Donny wrote and will record this summer once held one meaning and now offer another:<\/p>\n

Well, I know he hurt you.<\/em>
\nShe hurt me too.<\/em>
\nPeople desert you.<\/em>
\nYeah, that\u2019s what they do.<\/em>
\nBut you gotta keep going if you wanna get through.<\/em>
\nAnd yeah, you\u2019ve been hurt.<\/em>
\nAnd yeah, it\u2019s gonna hurt some more,<\/em>
\nbut things will get better. <\/em>
\n(\u201cBetter\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n

In a world so often focused on what\u2019s broken, Donny reminds us to look for what\u2019s beautiful. To pay attention. To show up. Believe. And, above all, that love\u2014in all its small, stubborn, powerful ways\u2014still wins.<\/p>\n
