Trump up the Bass
Multiple artists including Guns & Roses, Pharrell, Rihanna and others have taken legal action against Trump for exploiting legal loopholes to play their music at his political rallies that are later broadcast on TV. For example Pharrell’s song Happy was played at a rally a few hours after the Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh.
Album of The Week
Animals -Pink Floyd (1977)
This largely instrumental album from Pink Floyd manages to pack a punch although it is short on lyrics and on run-time. A simple allegory bookends the album with Pigs on the Wing parts one and two bookend the album. The pigs being the fascists as the sheep and dogs are tricked into hating each other. The album stands up as well musically and politically as it did back then and is a good reminder to go vote this week.
“If you didn’t care
What happened to me
And I didn’t care for you
We would zig-zag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the
Buggers to blame
And watching the pigs on the wing”
Bloodless
“I know it’s hard to be an optimist
When you trust least the ones who claim to have the answers”
The Well
“And you’re right
You own my only dime
And you’re right
You own my own”
Hit the Switch
“And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe
Something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind
I said “I’ll trade you one for two nightmares of mine
I have some where I die, I have some where we all die.”
Reel Around the Fountain
“Fifteen minutes with you
Well, I wouldn’t say no”
