As the polls close in the 'Land of the Free' and democracy is once again under threat. Music and the artists behind the music and songs have always risen to the occasion and spoken for the masses. Today, while we have to respect the outcome of the election in America, we don’t have to like it.
This playlist was put together eight years ago when the new president elect was first selected to be the 45th president of the United States of America. Against all odds, a now convicted felon with total disregard for the rule of law, has found himself back in that situation with a grudge list the size of Pennsylvania Avenue. What this means for the next four years is anyone’s guess and already dictators across the globe are lining up the congratulate the winner.
There will always be hope and music and the arts will always rise to the occasion. We need them more than ever now.
As with fourteen years of misrule in the United Kingdom that delivered Brexit. This too will pass.
We just need to get each other through it together.
