The Junos are over for another year.  I watched a bit but was turned off by how music today has become so bad.  It's all artificial nowadays except for rappers whose voices don't change throughout their entire piece.  Not my style of music.

Today's song is about an agorophobic woman during a visit to a maharishi in India.  She refuses to come outside.  The group has some nice harmonies.

  Music today, 2025, almost all facets and demographics , is nothing more than sewer floatsom . Utter rubbish. Throw in the virtue signalling, demonization of western basic values which built the 1st world, and todays “awards shows” are very much thievery of oxygen and electricity.

Herb Alpert was one of my favourite entertainers in the 60's.

This song was first performed live in the late 60's.  It's a story of a guy who wants to take a train but keeps screwing things up by going too early, forgetting his ticket etc.  It's a bit of a comedy of errors.

So today is the day Trump announces his tariffs on the rest of the world.  So far the effect has added zero to his treasury but cost a heck of a lot of good will.  Personally I no longer buy US made products.  Last week I bought a new gas insert fireplace MADE IN CANADA!!  In honour of Trump's tariff day I found this song on the internet.

Pre-markets today are indicating a strong dislike of Trump's tariffs.  We will all get a little poorer soon.

Another morning where pre-markets are indicating their displeasure with Trump's tariffs.  Where is he taking the USA's economy?  Maybe this song describes the journey.
