Since many can't travel home for the holidays this Christmas, our musical itinerary this weekend includes songs about traveling, places to travel to and from, and songs about home.
I get, pardon the pun 'triggered' when people boil down mass shootings to mental illness. Or even just the weird quiet kid. Are there cases where mental illness plays a part? Without a doubt. People that could have been helped.
This week, the SCOTUS spanked the Loser-In-Chief and his last, best effort to replace our democracy with fascism. So this weekend's music theme is about beginnings and endings, starting and stopping, going and being gone.
To celebrate this chilly season here in the U.S. and those lucky to have warmer temperatures elsewhere, the theme for this weekend's music thread is cold and hot, Winter and Summer, being warm and definitely being cool.
To recognize the infantile behavior of a man-child who makes five-year-olds look like sage philosophers, the theme of this weekend's music thread is babies, children, being young, being older, crying and yelling, being foolish and being wise. Unlike the most powerful man in the world...for 53 days more.
"The car is totally wrecked, and I wouldn't ever drive it again anyway, but thank God I'm not leaving your Mother a Widow! Yet."
To celebrate Thanksgiving, this weekend's music thread is about things we're thankful for, people we love, nature, music, whatever you're thankful for in life, including life itself.
To counter Trump's and his cultish followers' ongoing Lie-Palooza, the theme for this weekend's music thread is truth. Songs that say things that are honest about people, events and life. Just give me some truth...coming soon on January 20th, 2021.
It's now official...President Elect Joe Biden and Vice President Elect Kamala Harris! The theme for today is celebration! Songs that make you happy, songs about winning, feeling good and having fun are all good for this weekend's celebratory playlist.
Join us this weekend in sharing songs about winning this most important election of our lifetimes! Songs about confidence, determination, fighting the good fight, taking down the bad guys, and even if it's a tad early, celebration.
