B-Movie by Gil Scott-Heron
“"As Wall Street goes, so goes the nation. And here's a look at the closing numbers: racism's up, human rights are down, peace is shaky, war items are hot. The House claims all ties. Jobs are down, money is scarce, and common sense is at an all-time low on heavy trading. Movies were looking better than ever, and now no one is looking, because we're starring in a "B" movie." Some things never change.”

Just reminded me what a weird time the '80's were- 'Ronnie Raygun' in the White House. The lyrics somehow still resonate today-GSH ahead of his time.

Seems appropriate for Republican nomination season. Still scorches
