A former co-worker was asking for a musical lead in to a college class on the shutdown. The list suggested was rough or funny and came fast and furious. I began to wonder what a “Side B” (remember side B’s of records? It was the flip side of the disk, you young uns) would be like, something that underscored why we shouldn’t let stupid one note politicians pretend to lead our country.
The House I Live In (sung by Paul Robeson here but made famous by Mr. Sinatra.
The Statue of Liberty (From Manhattan Tower by Gordon Jenkins. This was the only digital version I could find, the song starts at :32 and lasts about 2 min.)
