The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day



John Linnell, "The Songs of the 50 States" from State Songs, Vol. 1 (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Below, words as true of the fifty states as of Mr. Linnell's songs of the fifty states, about which he sings in "The Songs of the 50 States."

"The songs of the fifty states,
The songs of the fifty states,
No two alike by each connected by a golden thread…"

We are so blessed in this country, blessed both by Providence & by the wisdom, industry, & pluck of our forebears. Yet so often we cannot see beyond our First World problems, cannot see beyond the few things that divide us to see the innumerable things that unite us, that bind us one to another. United we stand. In God we trust.


Bonus! Song of the Day
Jim Gaffigan, "Mt. Rushmore" from Obsessed (T.L.A.M.)
