Let me begin your Christmas Season with the One Song to Rule Them All.
You’re Welcome:

Remember Never Choose the Lesser Evil!
Great Old One, 2016! And I don’t say that because there was already a serious lack of sanity in my vicinity today. Nahhh…
Here’s the Campaign Theme Song, in perhaps it’s finest incarnation:
I Keep Hearing People Say
That “Social Justice Warrior” is a bogus term. It doesn’t really mean anything. And there aren’t any people really advocating for telling you how to live on the left anyway. Right? Right?
Well, tell me what a good name for the Puppy Kickers who destroyed the Hugos, the liars who turned a critique of journalistic ethics in gaming into a charge about feminism, or the people who say we can’t listen to heavy metal–or even Folk Metal–music because it’s too ‘masculine’ and ‘white’ might be?

Really? Now we go after a genre where a high percentage of the most popular bands are fronted by female singers as being “Too masculine”? And of course, then we can get into the whole question of why it’s ‘evil’ to be masculine. The only good males are geldings, it seems.
So ok, if we can’t call them SJWs, then I’m going to call them Assassins of Joy. Only they’re not nearly as funny as Vir Cotto. And they’re quite unlikely to bumble their way to the top of the Centauri Republic.
And just remember, sooner or later, these same people will come for a fandom you care about. So when will Free Speech matter to you?
Because SHHHH
When the news of the week is as bad as this one has been, a beautiful song is in order. And I’ve always loved this one.
Not That I Ever Cared For the Confederacy
But Tom Petty is soooo un-PC here. I wonder if he remembers making this song. Of course, the memory hole could have nothing to do why he forgets things these days. The song’s a pretty good rocker, I might add. Mike Campbell’s guitar work is impressive in it.
Might be a good song for the imagination
or just because a song of making dreams real has to appeal to writers and dreamers.
Hey, you know why music companies have trouble selling these days?
Well in part, which of them would sign off on a song like this today? Though to be fair, how often does a collection of musicians this talented ever assemble. Outside of every Rush show.
Roy Orbison’s guitar in the rocking chair for the soul-catching moment.
