A ditty for the current USA election?
The late Jimmy LaFave's song, written in 2007, remains a poignant commentary: "I see music as a lifetime affair." [Rory Gallagher]

International politics is surely worrisome for us all in these days of rampant global Covid (e.g. if China or USA sneeze, we all get...?) and sadly, we see Covid's taken out some great musicians..

Owen, thanks for the Kim Hill interview reminder, I just tuned in part way through Bill Bailey.
But I found the link you provided disconcerting, the music links below distracting too. I think a better link would be RNZ's own intro: www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/2018770737/legal-scholar-kim-wehle-the-path-to-a-us-election-result which gives the option to download ('Add to playlist' I've never tried) and pressing the play button brings up a small separate window, which is handy. Anyway, I'm presently about 12-13 min into that. As for Bill Bailey, yeah, the part I heard was great! It took me a few seconds to recognise his voice and know who she was interviewing. www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/2018770745/bill-bailey-s-secrets-to-happiness Cheers!
