[Mods, if this is too political for CS, move as necessary]
Working on a song list for Inauguration Day:
Ruination Day - Gillian Welch
Hell-Bound Train - Savoy Brown
Goin’ Down Slow - Howlin’ Wolf
Brown Shirts in the White House - John Gorka
Wasteland of the Free - Iris DeMent
Masters of War - Bob Dylan
Political Science - Randy Newman
No Time To Live - Traffic
Desperation - Steppenwolf
Still There’ll Be More - Procol Harum
Ship of Fools - The Doors
Idiot Wind - Bob Dylan
Tears of Rage - The Band
Trouble Every Day - Frank Zappa
-Pop Will Eat Itself - Ich Bin Ein Auslander
-Monster Truck - Things Get Better (the chorus actually goes, “I have a feelin’ things’ll get worse before they get better”)
-Battle Beast - King For A Day (new song with lyrics like “he pretends to be a champion of the common man”, so it probably actually is about the subject at hand)
Every time I hear Leonard Cohen’s You Want It Darker, I envision Trump supporters assuring their Dark Lord that they will “kill the flame” (hope and change).
I’ve been working on a new playlist since 11/8. Here’s part of what I have so far:
Arcadia - Election Day

Iron Maiden - The Man Who Would Be King
Motorhead - Orgasmatron (“I am the politician and I decide your fate…”)
Genesis - Illegal Alien
America - The Border
Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall (Parts 1 2 & 3) (self-explanatory)
Testament - Over the Wall
The Firm - Tear Down the Walls
John Cougar Mellencamp - (When the Walls Come) Crumblin’ Down
The Call - The Walls Came Down
And here’s part of the playlist I made back in 2008, an “alternate history” of what would happen if Sarah Palin was elected President, which I think applies more than ever today:
Malevolent Creation - Eve of the Apocalypse
Warlord - Deliver Us from Evil
Killing Joke - Another Bloody Election
Slayer - The Antichrist
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Metallica - The Four Horsemen
Metal Church - Gods of Wrath
Sanctuary - Battle Angels
Killing Joke - Asteroid
Nocturnus - Lake of Fire
Porcupine Tree - Stars Die
Gary Moore - End of the World
Ayreon - The Sixth Extinction
