Man, did you hit the nail right dead center with this song! A non-political political song, how in hell did you do that? Great lyrics sang perfectly.
This one gets two thumbs up!
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi Ezekiel,
I wish that fairness doctrine also counts for presidents, but let me not get too impolite to (for me) foreign leaders. Although your verse 'Hoaxes, conspiracy theories/ Reporters with their “nasty” queries/ Save this democracy/ From exponential idiocy, points in the same direction ;-)
Very strong lyrics in a song with a nice melody and a cool abrubt ending. and not to forget; a strong voice as well! I hope in the real world that kind of ending will come soon for the one we both meant, but let's not get into politics here.
Stay safe in Virginia, Hans

Stay safe in Virginia, Hans Thanks, Hans! I'm working on a song that deals with the subject of the 4th verse you quoted. Stay tuned. Scott, Angry and to the point- great energy in your vocal.Very good head spinning ending! Wouldn`t it be cool to hear your students` response to this?
Robert Thanks, Robert. I would probably get into trouble if I promoted this song to them. :-) A clever song, and very timely!! Indeed, A whole lotta stupid! The music is really interesting, and matches the sentiment very well!! COOL!! Take care. Greg Thanks, Greg!

Great singing, good song, I thought of Stuck in the Middle with you, lyrically. I always enjoy stuff like this and encourage more of them here on the forum.

Well written, Ezekiel. Man, you are so right about "news". Money should not drive a slant to the truth. Anyway, back to your song. Such a smart title, and your vocal is superb as always. "Equal opportunity mocker." hehe. You must be a lot of fun at parties.

Oh boy, Scott - you posted this song during my absence from the forum due to health issues. But this song is a strong exhortation: Don't stay away from the forum, 'cause you might miss gems...
What a song... Of course the lyrics are the 'beef', but let me start with the music first: Adequate! What? I mean, I couldn't imagine any better way to present your message - just gorgeous ! What a drive! Love those guitar fills - awesome. Very, I mean VERY string vocals, too !!!!
And now the lyrics: You posted this song in August - it then reflected pretty much exactly the then situation. Not only in the US, of course, but there more than in any other important 'free' nation. Very hard to bear for anybody who has been pro-US all of his life. And there is no doubt that hardly anyone outside the US could and can understand what is going on there. Looks like 'A whole latta brainwashing' to me... And also 'A whole lotta blindness'...
January 6, 2021, is a date that will be forever remembered: 'A whole lotta violence' and having read the news this morning: 'A whole lotta hypocrisy'. Those poor Frankensteins - how in the world could they be fooled for so long... If they only had known...
Scott, a truly great and most impressive song !
All the best for 2021,
Stefan

Love it, Ezekiel. [and quite interesting comment by rayc about Reagan] Stupid is as stupid does, but who'd thunk stupid would get so prevalent. I once played in a band called Charlie's Stupid Band. His (then) 5 year old niece once asked, "Is Uncle Charlie playing with his stupid band?" She's now a senator.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
