"The Times They Are A-Changin'"

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changing

(tongue in cheek)

I'm going to have all of these songs running through my head the next time I see each of the candidates above <grin>

Showdown At Big Sky (taps into my native roots).

Doesn't matter who the nominee is.


Alternative - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

If it's a woman? Isn't She Lovely

for the Biden and Sanders supporters.

Kamala should use "Yeah!" by Usher

It also originally came out back near the start of his political career:

Regardless of your feelings about Sanders, I always enjoyed this song (originally released in 1969):

Off the Biden playlist.

Born to Fight by Tracy Chapman for Warren and wouldn't be surprised if they'd already used it on her campaign.

They're tryin' to take away my pride
By stripping me of everything I own
They're tryin' to hurt me inside
And make me into a white man's drone
But this one's not for sale
And I was born to fight
I ain't been knocked down yet
I was born to fight
I'm the surest bet
There ain't no man no woman
No beast alive that can beat me
'Cause I'm born to fight
They're tryin' to dig into my soul
And take away the spirit of my God
They're tryin' to take control
And monitor my every thought
I won't let down my guard
And I was born to fight
I ain't been knocked down yet
I was born to fight
I'm the surest bet
There ain't no man no woman
No beast alive that can beat me
'Cause I'm born to fight



For Harris and especial because of the viral video that making the rounds. I couldn't think of anything more beautiful and fitting than Andra Day - Rise Up.

Rise Up
(Andra Day and Jennifer Decilveo)

You’re broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry-go-round
And you can’t find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

And I’ll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I’ll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
And I’ll rise up
High like the waves
I’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousands times again
For you (4X)

When the silence isn’t quiet
And it feels like it’s getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we’ll take the world to its feet
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains
And I’ll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I’ll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
For you (4X)

All we need, all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
We will rise
We will rise
We’ll rise, ohh ohhh
We’ll rise

I’ll rise up
Rise like the day
I’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
I will rise a thousands times again
And we’ll rise up
Rise like the waves
We’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
We’ll rise up
And we'll do it a thousands times again
For you ohhhh ohhh ohh ohhh ohh (3X)


For my main man Castro. He came from humble upbring and now he should be ruling things. So I'd say Jidenna - Long Live The Chief.


------ fighting over rings
------ wanna be the King, but
Long Live the Chief
For a lil ol' thang lil boys bang bang
Long Live the Chief
------ fighting over rings
------ wanna be the king, but
Long Live the Chief
Yeah watch pretty mama while I slang my cane
Long Live the Chief
Uh
Cockroaches and the rat shit
Hand me downs with the patches
Mama put a little money in the mattress
Taught me how to make a silver spoon out of plastic
You can either sink, swim or be the captain
Get the last word I'mma get the last laugh in
Now they say "Jidenna why you dressing so classic?"
I don't want my best dressed day in a casket
You can either lead, follow or get out the way
Make a fuckin' move it would make my fuckin' day
Got a 100 year plan you jus' think about the today
Always been about time more than been about pay
Can't rump with me
Usain couldn't run with me
Chief come to find you
You don't come for me
At best you can run a lil company
------ at worst, I could run the whole country
That's right, pimp game like a brothel
That's why, I don't judge a ------ hustle
I Airbnb the crib like a hostel
Summer rate cheaper 'cause the streets get hostile
Shaka boy, this fire from Mojave boy
So no I won't record for your homie boy
I turn the party out like a naughty toy
Then I go and hide in plain sight like a lobby boy
Yessuh, that's Jidenna on the banner
Ridin' for my ------ gettin' locked up in the slammer
Elders saying everything's a nail to a hammer
And ------ can't spell but we know our Instagrammar
Well done's better than well said
I read ------ well, a ------ well read
Really I ain't met nobody smarter
That's why I got admitted but I still rejected Harvard
I'm the fresh prince, in a school where they couldn't read
Mama put me in a school with the Kennedys
When I met Bill Clinton I was seventeen
But dead presidents is all my ------ need
Dining with the governor's daughter
And her father say I remind him of Obama
I'm the chief diplomat, every day
And I'm black and white, Janelle Monae
They wanna be the King, but
Long Live the Chief
For a lil ol' thang lil boys bang bang
Long Live the Chief
------ fighting over rings
------ wanna be the king, but
Long Live the Chief
Now watch pretty mama while I slang my cane
Long Live the Chief
