Here's hoping!

Rand Paul: "The 2026 elections, already we are behind the 8 ball. If you add in high gas prices, high oil prices, and if we're still bombing Iran with kinetic action -- people don't want to call it war -- I think you're gonna see a disastrous election."

Putin's favorite patsy

As the U.S. eases some Russian oil restrictions to calm surging energy prices during the Iran war, the UK says it will not follow. British officials warn relaxing sanctions now would hand Vladimir Putin more revenue to fuel the war in Ukraine.

Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. DLXXXII--The Waterboys: And a Bang on the Ear

 You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well, you just might find...I'm (only four days?) late again....

[Blogger's Aside:  All caught up--yay!--for now....]

This is the third time I've written about this week's band, and the story of my introduction to their music remains the same for their third straight tune.  I will say, however, that my enjoyment of their music has only grown with the passing of time (now over thirty years)....

I wrote about the Waterboys in Vol. CXIII and Vol. CDLXXVI so a full bio paragraph won't be necessary.  Since my last post about them in 2024, they have released another studio album, and this year will release a three CD set of unreleased material as well as tour later this spring.  Somehow in the first two posts I failed to note their discography, which can be found here.

"And a Bang on the Ear" was the second single from their fourth album, the rather seaworthy entitled Fisherman's BluesIt was not released as a single in the U.S. but hit #1 in their native Ireland (so many cool kids on the Emerald Isle!), and #51 in the U.K.  The album did chart in America, peaking at #76, but did much better in the U.K. reaching #13.

Fun Fact:  One of the most popular FAQ's on the band's website is what exactly is meant by "a bang on the ear."  A bang is Irish slang for a kiss, so it basically means a kiss on the ear (somewhat akin to our "a peck on the cheek").

"And a Bang on the Ear" recounts the lovers and losses of the protagonist (could well be bandleader Mike Scott, but he isn't telling) over the course of several verses.  Scott sings with a lovingly whimsical tone (there's no bitterness here) with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.  The background music is delightful--mostly Irish folk (though the organ reminded me of The Band) with just a touch of pop.  It features the aforementioned organ, plenty of fiddle, some piano, and a nice rhythmic drumming that pulls it all together.  Scott closes with a short paean to his current love, a nice touch that reminds us that in the end love is what we seek.  In the end, it's an imminently clever look back at love and its wonders and pains as we make our journey through life and hinting that despite those ups and downs it's ever worth our while.

Lyric Sheet:  "Deborah broke my heart and I the willing fool/I fell for her one summer on the road to Liverpool/I thought it was forever, but it was over in a year (oh dear)/But I give her my love and a bang on the ear..."

Enjoy:

Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. DLXXXI--The Nightwatchman: Union Town

 It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, I'm worried now, but...I'm (nine days) late again....

[Blogger's Aside:  Two down, one to go....]

I couldn't begin to remember when I was introduced to this week's song, though it probably had something to do with either reading about labor unions or celebrating Labor Day.  I actually have featured it before on Labor Day in 2014, but it's such a killer pro-union song that I felt it truly deserved its own post....

The Nightwatchman (his backing band is called the Freedom Fighter Orchestra) is Rage Against the Machine's (wrote about in Jukebox CDLXXXVIIguitarist Tom Morello's alter ego for when he wants to perform political songs.  Few people in the music business have had a career as varied as Morello.  He has a B.A. in social studies from Harvard and worked for a time as an exotic dancer when he graduated and moved to Los Angeles.  During his career, Morello was in the aforementioned RATM, Audioslave, Prophets of Rage, Street Sweeper Social Club, released solo albums, and has spent a number of years touring and recording with Bruce Springsteen (The Nightwatchman was inspired by his work with Springsteen on The Ghost of Tom Joad).  Morello was elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with his bandmates in RATM in 2023.  He was ranked as the eighteenth greatest guitarist of all-time in Rolling Stone's 2018 list.  His rather extensive discography can be found here. Morello is active in numerous political causes and has been a voice for the poor and the politically oppressed since he was in high school.  As if all that wasn't more than enough for a career, he's also written a series of comic books.

Fun Fact:  Morello had a band, Bored of Education, while he attended Harvard that won an Ivy League Battle of the Bands in 1986.  His band featured Carolyn Bertozzi on keyboards, who went on to win a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2022.

"Union Town" was the first song on The Nightwatchman's 2011 EP, the rather appropriately named Union Town.  The song was not released as a single (and oh, how great it would have been had it been released as a single) and the EP did not chart.

Amazingly enough, "Union Town" is an ode to the power of labor unions.  Featuring a righteous theme, inspired vocals from Morello, and some bitchin' backing from the Freedom Fighter Orchestra, the song announces loudly our defiance in the face of our corporate oppressors.  Morello throws in some killer guitar solos and further manages--a la Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger before him--to have written a political song that's catchy as all hell.  And also has his Mom and one of his sons on backing vocals!  If you're a liberal, left-wing, union member, union supporter, or a Democrat this song's for you.  And if not?  Well then, fuck all the way off.

Lyric Sheet:  "This is a union town, union town/All down the line/And if you come to strip our rights away/We'll give you hell every time..."

Remembrances of what it was like to have a good President

Not a single person that Joe Biden pardoned was re-arrested. 33 of the J6ers that Donald Trump has pardoned have been re-arrested. Not a single US citizen was shot by ICE under Joe Biden. 23 American citizens have been shot at by ICE under Donald Trump. 8 have been hit, 3 have died.

Of course

"We have at last found a global villain who matches the bugbear — an ill-informed violent despot who seems to enjoy carnage for its own sake, & who has the power & will to project terror & violence anywhere on earth for any reason or none. That global villain is, of course, President Donald Trump."
