President Obama’s charming rendition this week of All Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” has sent sales of that song up 490%.
Watching his State of the Union address, listening to his honesty, specific initiatives to improve America and his genuine belief in what America can do, was a powerful antidote to the bitterness, fear mongering and negativity of the GOP candidates running on the hamster wheel of the GOP debates and primary.
So, as a nod back to President Obama to the lyrics, “Let’s Stay Together”, this week’s music theme is about coming together, loving and caring about others and staying positive and confident about life.
Let’s Stay Together – Al Green
All Together Now – Beatles
Let’s Work Together – Canned Heat
We’ll Be Together – Sting
We Could Be So Good Together – The Doors

Well, I love those. But of course we just came back from a prime rib dinner and I had 2 maritnis. And feel no pain. Those picks are prefect for me now, Kalima!
