Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Call today!
Totally get it. Working through making the switch.

Whew. I bailed on November #MusicChallenge about halfway through and haven't engaged December at all. Hoping to jump back in for the New Year. In the meantime, hope you enjoy my annual Holiday Music playlist. I'm still trying to ween off Spotify - also in the New year, perhaps. Cheers!
Such a great song

The Thrills
No. 1
"Big Sur"
The composition of this song is all I need to be won over, but somehow tying it to Big Sur - I remain a forever fan, even if the band never returns from their hiatus.

"Vienna" by Ultravox
Though not a big hit in the states in 1980, this video would play frequently when MTV hit the airwaves a year later, along with many New Romantic counterparts.

"Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" by Bruce Springsteen (1973)
"I know a pretty little place in Southern California down San Diego way. There's a little cafe where they play guitars all night and all day. You can hear them in the backroom strumming"

It's a 2022 day for me on this challenge. Every new release from this Jersey band sounds filled with passion and excitement.
"All Through The Night" by Titus Andronicus
Richman never disappoints. Great song.
That Feliciano cover of The Doors is so cool, and sounds like a completely new song.

"Santa Cruz (You're Not That Far)"
In 2003 I was living in Chandler, Arizona and really missing the central coast of California. One day, at a Borders music listening station, I discovered this new release and was transported back.

"Jobs I Had Before I Got Rich & Famous" by Walter Martin
"Information counter at the Cloister's Museum, and one day Billy Joel walks in. I take a long long look at him, a dignified old music man. And that's when I devise my plan"

2021 today, and a song that has become one of my holiday season favorites since it released 4 years ago.
"Pub Crawl" by Arkells
Yeah, hers was one of those losses that hit a little harder
Already saw it, and it does seem to make sense. And it’s a fantastic song
There it is. You have now included all of my top five Buckingham/Nicks era FM songs. Delightful list

"Teenager"
"You rolled your eyes teenage style and said "I don't care for the past". If I could go back, a teenager again, if I could go back, I'd trip over again. But where would I fall? And who would break my fall?" - gets me every time.

I heard this one today at the grocery store. It's one of those songs that became more known years later in the states than it was when it released. But an early new wave staple on MTV

"The Irish Keep Gate-Crashing"
Kind of a low-key banger from the guys. "Lust will only get us so far now"

Robert Palmer had well established himself on rock and pop formats by 1980, but his Clues album was frequently lumped in with the now booming New Wave sound.

"I Dig Rock and Roll Music" by Peter, Paul and Mary (1967)
The song name checks The Mamas and The Papas, Donovan, and The Beatles while waxing on about Rock and Roll in 1967.
