    Music For These Times

    Mose Allison fills the bill.

    Just playing "If You're Goin' To The City" and "Everybody Cryin' Mercy."

    Later on the disc may be "I'm Not Talkin'" or "Your Mind Is On Vacation."

    The last one works in a lot of incidences. "If silence was golden, you couldn't raise a dime..."

    Saw Mose in concert once years ago. Wish I had seen him a few more times.

    I heard that he walked down to his mailbox one day and found a check for
    $5,000. A British rock band had covered "Young Man's Blues" and the check was
    for royalties.

    I've been a fan of Mose Allison for nigh on 50 years. What an awesome talent he was. So many great songs, and he could swing.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    That's the one. Screechy, atonal, self indulgent, sounds like "REEEEEEEEEEE!".

    Me, no matter which way the rest of the year goes:

    So far, this year is as offed up as Shane McGowan's teeth.

    Since the whole antifa thing got going I can't stop listening to The Record (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Record_(album)).

    Maybe especially https://youtu.be/4ACKEGCvLtI, but really the whole album.
