Hello music lovers!  Now the election is over, we will be entering the darkest days this country has ever seen, in my lifetime. The Music Soup is trying not to be political but sometimes things as important as this will come up. 

 

Me and many people I know are all in a slump of shock, dismay and sever depression in many cases. Fear is also a factor as we have all seen images of the likes of Nazi Germany, and dictatorships all over the planet. The United States of America has never been in danger of Dictatorship but here we are soon to be entering this scary future. 

I am so so sad for all the women, our sisters, mothers, daughters, granddaughters, wives, girlfriends, LGBTQ+, black and brown skinned people, and anyone in this country that is not straight, christian and white, basically. I thought we had come farther than this in our history but apparently many millions of U.S citizens prefer to step way back in time and taking the rights away from women, and any other groups except white Christian men. This president elect (I will never say his name or address him at POTUS) is a malignant tumour on America. He's told us he will be a dictator and people still voted for him. He told us that womens rights will be removed, he told us that we will never have to vote again and the masses still voted red.

 

If you are one of the people like me that fear Project 2025 and what will become of this country in the coming years of what will be a dictatorship 

 

I've spoken to so many people in utter shock - numb and all in complete disbelief. If you study how Nazi Germany was born - we are living it. First wear the people down for years. telling them lies and instilling fears. We are numb with his unstable behavior. Its been like a freak show for a decade and we cant seem to look away. Really? The American people are so enamored with the entertainment value of the orange freak show that we have elected him to hold safe our nuclear codes, climate change, our jobs, our healthcare, social security, who we love, the future of our children etc etc etc. 
 

As always, remember..."Life is short...break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, meditate often, be kind to each other, and never regret anything that made you smile". And of course...see live music!

​

With peace, love, art and music,
