This weekend's music thread is for songs about the real America, songs about the country and its cities, staying strong and principled and songs reflecting the values and democracy that America really stands for.

So this weekend's music thread is about infrastructure, songs about roads, streets and driving, planes and trains, phones, and anything connected to things built by society for society.

The theme for this weekend’s music thread is songs about and for America, songs about its people, its places, its problems and its promise.

John Lennon's birthday was this week so our music thread is dedicated to him and of course his band that changed everything, The Plastic Ono Band. Or The Beatles too.
