Single out today, my cover of Margo Guryan’s “The Hum”. I’ve been a fan of MG for a while but only recently absorbed the lyrics to The Hum. Though it was written about the Nixon administration, it’s poignant how much of it rings true today. We tracked this earlier but if this pandemic has confirmed anything, it’s that some people devote their lives to government simply to destroy it from the inside, to shrink its accountability for its citizens. Today we find ourselves living a perfect example of why we need a strong centralized office, one that’s capable of responding swiftly to a crisis. Instead we have someone who dissolved the pandemic response team in 2018. Instead we have a health crisis that’s causing everyone to LOSE their health insurance, another thing for which government refuses to take responsibility. I digress… Margo’s cutting wit is something to admire. Please enjoy such gems as “The rich save money and the poor save gas, we vote for an elephant and get an ass, he hires and he fires, he appoints and sacks, but HE CANT FIGURE OUT HIS INCOME TAX.”.
