Music Monday – “I still remember momma walking down the living room stairs/And daddy saying with a smile, “that’s my girl right there”/They had their share of ups and downs/And I saw the best, and the worst, and the work, and the worth it.”

It’s a long way from the stage of the “Cancer Jamboree” at Nickle Lake outside Weyburn (where we’ve camped for years and now have our own seasonal campsite) to the American Country Music Top 20 airplay charts…   “Somebody Like That” – Tenille Arts

Music Monday – “Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous/Wicked and able, media-ready/Heartless, and labeled/Super US citizen, super achiever/Mega ultra power dosing, relax/Defense, defense, defense, defense”

Originally about the Reagan years but the sentiment applies to most right-wing governments including Trump’s… “Ignoreland” – R.E.M. (Side note: “Ignoreland” is my least favourite song on probably my most favourite album of all-time.  Wish it had been on “Monster” instead.)
