Also on that subject maybe you should change your look
Your presentation's scruffy and it's time you really took
This whole thing seriously, do you really want success?
Just cause I'm a girl I think that you think you know best
(Well let's be honest, I do)

Note: they are singing in English, though it's heaviliy accented.

No more be grieved at that which thou hast done:
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud,
Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,
And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.

Man Without a Soul
- Lucinda Williams

You're a man without truth A man of greed, a man of hate
A man of envy and doubt You're a man without a soul
All the money in the world Will never fill that hole
You're a man bought and sold You're a man without a soul
You bring nothing good to this world Beyond a web of cheating
and stealing You hide behind your wall of lies But it's coming down
Yeah, it's coming down

You're a man without shame Without dignity and grace No way to save face
You're a man without a soul How do you think this story ends?
It's not a matter of how It's just a matter of when 'Cause it's coming down
Yeah, it's coming down

There's a darkness all around you To cover all you're hiding
There's no light in your eyes You're a man without a soul
Now the exits will be closing A sad life will be exposed
No dealer and no deals 'Cause you're a man without a soul
How do you think this story ends? It's not a matter of how
It's just a matter of when
'Cause it's coming down
Yeah, it's coming down
Yeah, it's coming down

Mask-less Trump toured a mask factory while 'Live and Let Die' played
over the speaker

1 hour ago

President Donald Trump declined to wear a protective face mask during a Tuesday
tour of an Arizona mask manufacturing plant, donning safety goggles instead.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-tours-mask-factory-opts-for-safety-glasses-instead

He ultimately opted against the mask, though some other speakers at the event
wore them and stood distanced from the president.

May 06, 2020

Donald Trump ventured outside the White House on Tuesday, loading up Air Force One
with a full staff to head to the Honeywell factory in Phoenix, Arizona, where workers are
busy cranking out N95 medical grade masks around-the-clock for healthcare workers.


The appearance seemed designed to boost Donald Trump’s image rather than boost
the morale of the workers trying to meet the demand.

Instead of displaying steady leadership, it was more of a display of incompetence
and toxic masculinity, starting with the fact that Donald Trump apparently refused
to wear a mask in a mask factory where everyone from top management to assembly
line workers were all wearing masks in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19
Apparently unwilling to be photographed in a mask, Trump instead chose to
potentially expose everyone he came in contact with instead.
And make no mistake about it, these folks are absolutely essential
to combatting this disease.

Trump, along with his traveling cast of sycophants, put them all at risk by refusing
to wear masks.

When you were young And your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did You know you did You know you did )

But if this ever changin' In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die Live and let die

What does it matter to ya When ya got a job to do
Ya got to do it well You got to give the other fella hell
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did You know you did You know you did)
But if this ever changin' In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die Live and let die

Senator Dianne Feinstein: Extending a Nuclear Arms Treaty

SNL's cast may be suffering from quarantine, to be forgiven for off, sour notes

The music, tho'

Although they might have sounded written for the occasion, the rocker was actually covering Blind Willie Johnson’s 1920s song “Jesus Is Coming Soon,” written with numerous references to the 1918 pandemic, sandwiched between an opening snippet of his Beyonce/”Lemonade” collaboration “Don’t Hurt Yourself” and the White Stripes’ “Ball and Biscuit.”

“Great disease was mighty and people were sick everywhere / It was an epidemic and it traveled though the air,” White sang, borrowing from the bluesman Johnson in his first appearance. He reiterated vintage Blind Willie lines about public schools closing as a result of the Spanish flu. But “Just tell everybody in the place to get out and we’ll be clean together” — that’s from the 2003 “Ball and Biscuit,” with some new meaning in the quarantine age.

Eddie Van Halen was not the only late musical hero to receive a salute in White’s appearance. His intermittent bass player of many years, Dominic John Davis, wore a T-shirt bearing the word “PRINE” in honor of singer-songwriter John Prine, who would have been celebrating his 74th birthday Saturday night if he had not been tragically felled by COVID-19 this spring. (Some casual viewers might have believed it was a Prince T-shirt until Davis removed his guitar strap at the end.)

^^ Non stop complaining about the lack of and advocating for the nanny state to micromanage everyone's life....listens to anarchist LOL

Neil Young, an outspoken critic of Trump, has complained for years about his music
being played on the president’s campaign trail. The musician reportedly considered
suing Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign over the use of his songs, but was told
at the time that the campaign venues had obtained licenses for his music.

Neil Young has dropped his copyright infringement lawsuit against President Donald
Trump, which he filed after Trump played his music during a campaign rally.

December 8th, 2020

On Monday, Young’s attorneys filed to dismiss the copyright case with prejudice,
meaning the claims can’t be renewed. According to the Hollywood Reporter,
this move is often a sign that a case was settled out of court, but neither party
responded to a request for clarification.

In August, Young filed a suit claiming that Trump’s campaign had failed to obtain
a performance license for his songs “Rockin’ in the Free World” and
“Devil’s Sidewalk,” which were used during the president’s rally in
Tulsa, Okla.

should catch a flight to North Korea since "we don't need you and we don't want you."

U.S. Blues

- Grateful Dead

Red and white, blue suede shoes, I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, I'm still alive, ain't no luck, I learned to duck.
Check my pulse, it don't change. Stay seventy-two come shine or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high. Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.

I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am; Been hidin' out in a rock and roll band.
Shake the hand that shook the hand of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan.
Shine your shoes, light your fuse. Can you use them ol' U.S. Blues?
I'll drink your health, share your wealth, run your life, steal your wife.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high. Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.

Back to back chicken shack. Son of a gun, better change your act.
We're all confused, what's to lose? You can call this all
the United States Blues.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high. Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.

Money money money money
Mun-eee!
Some people got to have it Some people really need it
Listen to me
why'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it You want to do things, do things,
do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money Talk about cash money- dollar bills, why'all
For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world
they're gonna beat
for that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money

For the love of money People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money People don't care who they hurt or beat
For the love of money A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar

I know money is the root of all evil Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime Money can drive some people
out of their minds
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Some people really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
For the love of money All for the love of money
Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you
For the love of money

Money can change people sometimes
Don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you
Money can fool people sometimes
People! Don't let money, don't let money change you,
It will keep on changing, changing up your mind.

What the hell is wrong with you tonight
I can't seem to say or do the right thing
Wanted to be sure you're feeling right
Wanted to be sure we want the same thing

She said I can't believe it
You can't
Possibly mean it
Don't we All want the same thing...
Don't we ?

Well who said anything about love ?

No, not love she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls
(Don't give me love)
No, not love she said
Dont you know that it's different for girls
You're all the same

Mama always told me save yourself
Take a little time and find the right girl
Then again don't end up on the shelf
Logical advice gets you in a whirl

I know A lot of things that
You don't
You wanna hear some
She said
Just give me something
Anything
Well
give me all you got without love

The painted faces on the street
Caricatures of long ago
Oh they were young and oh-so sweet
Down beyond the boulevard
Knock on doors and empty halls
And still sometimes remember
The masquerade's forever

When you see the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade

The reeling figures pass on by
Like ghosts in some forgotten play
Beneath the black and empty sky
Music plays and figures dance
With partners chosen by chance

And still sometimes remember
The masquerade's forever

They reached for tomorrow
But tomorrows, more of the same
So they reached for tomorrow
But tomorrow never came

When you hear the price they paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade

One by one and two by two
Past eight by tens in shattered frames
The players try to leave the room
Frantic puppets on a string

And all the while the music sings
And still sometimes remember
The masquerade's forever

Eccentric! Unusual!

I can't recall actually hearing any political music more recent than "Television, the Drug of a Nation."

There was a time in America when every presidential campaign had a theme song with the candidate's name in it, but that practice died out long ago.

Lord, I've really been real stressed, down and out,
losing ground Although I am black and proud,
problems got me pessimistic
Brothers and sisters keep messin' up,
why does it have to be so damn tuff?

I don't know where I can go
to let these ghosts out of my skull
My grandma past my brother's gone,
I never at once felt so alone
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel,
not just my spare tire (Home!)

But Lord, I ask you (Home!) to be my guiding force and truth (Home!)
For some strange reason it had to be (Home!)
he guided me to Tennessee

Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan

Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me,
let me understand your plan

Lord it's obvious we got a relationship
Talkin' to each other every night and day
Although you're superior over me
We talk to each other in a friendship way
Then outta nowhere you tell me to break Outta the country
and into more country
Past Dyesburg and Ripley
Where the ghost of childhood haunts me
Walk the roads my forefathers walked
Climb the trees my forefathers hung from

Ask those trees for all their wisdom
They tell me my ears are so young (Home)
Go back, from whence you came (Home)
My family tree, my family name (Home)
For some strange reason it had to be (Home)
He guided me to Tennessee (Home)

Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan
Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan

Now I see the importance of history
Why my people be in the mess that they be
Many journeys to freedom made in vain
By brothers on the corner playin' ghetto games
I ask you, Lord why you enlightened me
Without the enlightenment of all my folks
He said, cuz I set myself on a quest for truth
And he was there to quench my thirst
But I am still thirsty

The Lord allowed me to drink some more
He said what I am searching for
are The answers to all which are in front of me
The ultimate truth started to get blurry
For some strange reason it had to be
It was all a dream about Tennessee

Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan
Take me to another place, take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan
Oh, won't you let me, won't you help me
won't you help me understand your plan

Take me home, take me home, home, take me to another place
Take me home, take me home, home, take me to another place.
