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.

To celebrate and share the hope of 2021 being a turnaround year for all of us, this weekend's music thread is about things that are new, hopeful, joyful and just make you feel good about being alive.

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.

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.
