Joni Micheles? I knew she was Italian.  

Few thoughts. First, I'm not a music critic, aspiring so has got to be among the most silly, pathetic, and pointless paths on the planet. Music is somewhat beyond critical reproach, unless it's bad enough you just can't help yourself. It's theater for one, which is sort of the art of make believe, and if you fail to convince your audience, well then ...  But IMO, as far as the 2016 U.S. race for power goes -- weird, like this video has gone so far left field it's trying to make its way back in through the right field bleachers. Maybe it's simply because Bernie appears lost and confused in every photo or like some scary monster from any classic horror flick. If any of you remember, last couple go-rounds for the oval office showed a handsome young suave America's first black pres trying to kick ass, take names and getting thoroughly shot down time and again by the conservative house and senate. But he had that unique quality of not looking/acting like a stroke victim, and that my friends is what really matters.  

Aside, when conservatives talk about being freaked out by "the left," one need only watch a YouTube video on a rainbow gathering or well, this video to understand where they're coming from. Everybody suits up for their team though, and they say all decisions are made from the emotional center of our brain, which scares me more than the 2016 candidates. I'm into Hare Krishna and Flower Power, spreading the wealth as much as the next guy. I'll drop the blotter or trouser with my free love all day long if you think it'll help. Get out there on the corner of Lake Avenue with some signs and yell at cars. But really, odds are the Bern isn't going to save us any more than Art Johnston saved Duluth from the school district, and probably for many of the same reasons.  

A respected non-partisan political adviser who has been watching and listening to Sanders for longer than most of you have been around pointed out he mainly just repeats himself over and over again, and has for decades. That his inertia to supply the solutions or the following from those in power could be questionable. So one has to wonder if "feeling the Bern" is mainly just a great slogan, or a fever, and how much his leadership would really change anything at this juncture? I'd like to find out just for shits and gigs mind you. Rather him than the alternatives. But christ people, weird just turned pro here, hottest month on record is the next one. Plastic oceans. Billy Joel once said, we didn't start the fire, it's been always burning. So I'm not sure yet if this song or video sends me running to feel the Bern, it does have echoes of Buffy Saint Marie and Melanie though if that's your bag, that warble singing style I love, and some pretty Eastern philosophy colors. And who wouldn't want our first Jew in the White House? So keep creating, stay strong, and do good work.   

The odds are good but the goods are odd.
