It you're not familiar with what's going on in the U.S., it's a shit show right now. One party is, in effect, hoping you won't notice the wet spot if they don't look at it. There's an impeachment trial going on, to impeach Donald Trump. I will not call him president, because there is nothing presidential about him. Don't get me started. Let's just say, if you ever watched The Apprentice, you fed the fuck. That's just the beginning. On to other things. Sort of.
Someone posted a Bernie Sanders campaign ad tonight, featuring a cover of Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'". It got me to thinking about the song and about Bernie Sanders, whom I fully support. Regardless of if he becomes the next Democrat candidate for president, just as when he was a candidate the last go around, I'll donate to his campaign because at the end of the day, if his voice is out there, as it has been since the last election, it benefits me in the long run.
After watching that spot, I went back to Dylan's version and, in doing so, was amazed at how it applies to today. Just one example:
"Come senators, congressmen, please head the call, Don't stand in the doorway, don't lock up the hall, for he who is hurt is he who has stalled, there's a battle outside that's raging."
"Come senators, congressmen, please head the call, Don't stand in the doorway, don't lock up the hall, for he who is hurt is he who has stalled, there's a battle outside that's raging."
