I spent the week after the Election playing comfort music to soothe my disappointment. “Comfort Music” for me are hits from the 1970s and 1980s. It was nice to hear that “Help Is On the Way” from the Little River Band. Styx tempted me with the idea of “Come Sail Away” on that 4-year cruise (to escape the next Trump 4 years!). Only $250,000!
Hall and Oates reminded me that I was “Out of Touch” with the current political situation. Who needs competence? Trump doesn’t. And Trump and Melania seem to be “Making Love Out of Nothing at All” according to Air Supply.
How are you coping with the results of the Election? Does music help? GRADE : B (for both)
