and I think I got that from Ari Melber - he's a huge Rap/Hip Hop fan..

Second only to Steve Schidmt who is a huge Reggae fan...

BTW I hate when guys do that to me when I am wearing my short shorts.

While the Con and the racists are trying to divide musicians everywhere continue to do what they do best - give us beautiful music. I know what you mean - I've abandoned my short shorts these days.
When I hear folks my age criticizing the young ones in their short shorts, I ask them if they are maving memory loss because we were the pioneers.

I can't hear Options and not start rocking.

Kind of a light, feel good song, not memorable or moving like Bob's best, but the video...jeez, was there a single cut that wasn't about sex? Like a Trump anthem.

There have been pieces or statements by many musicians - Neil Young, Roger Waters, Springsteen, Baez, Rundgren/Fagen, Eminem - many others. Bob Marley was a not so subtle revolutionary, with War, Get up stand up, Concrete jungle, among others.

So when I hear a don't worry be happy type song that talks about entitled males and their sexual options, I think this sorta creates a message encouraging Trumpian behavior, or at most, escaping the reality of the most dangerous threat we've had in our history.

If they have addressed more serious issues in other pieces, I apologize for my ignorance.
