Uh with that display name if it's not Britney Spears I gotta say I'm disappointed.

Naturally in what appears like it will be the next Great Depression in the era of the Trump CoronaVirus blues, naturally listening to some Woody Guthrie....

First song talks a bit about homeless in the Great Depression in the US:

Woody Guthrie: "I Ain't got no Home"

Second song talks about a major medical sickness causing massive death among working americans....

Woody Guthrie: "Dust Pneunomia Blues"

are you familiar with Which Side Are You On?

John Prine  not only tested positive for COVID-19. but it also appears that based upon his Medical Conditions and Statements from his family.... this looks bad indeed.

Not only is John Prine one my favorite singer-songwriter cross-over music folk/Country cross-over artists of all time, and as a Vietnam-Vet and postal worker wrote many classic songs when he was "discovered" way back in the days...

Vietnam Vet, Postal Worker from an Appalachian-American background.

Likely not a big name for many of you but...

Looks like I might be losing a rock n'roll legend that I only had the chance to see once live bcs of COVID-19:

How many more?

John Prine's condition may have stabilized based upon what I heard on CNN earlier today from a DEM House member who is a friend... still "pray for the best" (If any of y'all are prayer people), "hope for the best", and prepare for the worst....

Regardless, I would strongly encouraged all of y'all to check out Prine's tunes because not only is he a rock and roll legend, but also he might be one of the first Rock 'N Roll legends to potentially die at the hands of this Pandemic....

are you familiar with Which Side Are You On?

Naturally... 

It's been a Labor Movement Protest Anthem for decades since the Coal Miner Strikes in Harlan County back in '31...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Which_Side_Are_You_On%3F

The question should be which is the best version of the song which has been covered by so many artists over the Years?

Hadn't really listened to the Almanac Singers original version from '41 before.

Definitely fond memories of listening to this song for the first time when I was a young child in the '80s from Pete Seeger....

Naturally one of my favorites is definitely Billy Bragg during the "Pit Strikes" against Thatcher in the '80s....

Dead Prez is certainly one of those hip-hop bands who convert the song from more of a traditional country-folk-rock type song, while still keeping it truth to the communities....

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I'm partial to the Pete Seeger version but that's probably because it's the first one I've heard.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Every year Pete Seeger figured out how much money he would need to support his family for the coming year and he gave that dollar figure to Harold Leventhal, his manager, and asked him to book concerts that would earn him that much money. Pete filled up the rest of his year playing for free at benefits, fundraisers, schools, union halls, rallies and every other kind of movement gathering and venue he could play and he did that for as long as he could. That's the kind of guy he was and that's what side HE was on. A real stand-up guy who wouldn't name names, and was ready to go to prison for it. He was convicted of contempt of Congress for his refusal, but it was reversed on appeal. One of the best people ever and one of my heroes.

mad respect for Pete Seeger. Godspeed.

Haim, "Now I'm In It"
Fountains of Wayne, "Hackensack" (RIP)
Carly Rae Jepsen, "Body Language"

Chelsea's Mom (Hillary Clinton - Stacy's Mom Parody). RIP Adam Schlesinger

Describes the "white male Atlasian" demographic perfectly :lol

Also TIL what "I feel beautified by you" is actually called

[Crumpets]

A simple 1920s country song with both yodeling and polyphonic overtone throat singing - a technique this singer independently created, but which is nearly identical to Tuvan sygyt music from clear across the world. Such a unique mix of North American, European, and Central Asian folk music from way before "fusion" anything.

Here is a hip-hop song I just listened to a few minutes ago...

Yung Gritty is an up and coming Hip-Hop Artist....

https://undergroundhiphopblog.com/news/diss-tracks-between-so-cal-latino-rappers-annimeanz-yung-gritty-go-public/

Listen to Yung Gritty... on "El Uno"

Still, these are the beats that are hitting the Barrios of the Inland Empire, not to mention Metro Los Angeles Proper....

The COVID-19 song reminds me a bit of some Black Hip-Hop artists over the Years in the early '90s with an old skool style mixing box, but keeping it real and topical, and representing a "New Wave" style of Latino Hip-Hop...

Reminds a little bit of this Gang Starr song in certain ways...

My childhood.

This is still a banger 5 years later.

[NOVA Green]

Naturally, now that Trump is looking at bringing "foreign workers" back to the United States, it is only appropriate to listen to one of the top Latino Artists from Latin America, who I saw live in Houston back in the days live in a giant rock convention center....

The stadium was filled with over 15k people, and the crowd went wild when this song was played....

My Latina girlfriend at the time explained to me that "El Mojado" roughly translated to "wetbacks", and this was a song of Liberation, within an audience that was overwhelmingly a mixture of Mexican and Central Americans within the Obama era, where much had been promised, but little delivered...

It's a good song so check it out, and likely for most of you Anglo Atlas posters you have no idea who the eff this guy is....

[parochial boy]

Not their most famous, but it's been stuck in my head for days. Best Australian band by far.

RIP... John Prine

He's not going to be the last to pass of musical and other artistic legends, but please to help support the family and the major contribution that he has provided to American Music History, please purchase his albums and works, listen to the tunes of a man who contributed so much to our country and is now deceased at the hands of this disease, which so heavily is hitting our most vulnerable populations, as well as many who are seemingly healthy but are carrying the disease and acting like this is not a real deal....

Was crying for John Prine's family when I heard the news a few hours ago, and if it hasn't hit home yet in your communities, it is coming for you....

This is not a joke and most likely we will lose more Americans in the next few Months than during the entire Vietnam War....
