Stuff To Enjoy-- From Us To You: Mitt Romney And Max Frost

First a Club for Growth video, an ad that will start running tomorrow on Fox News stations in Utah. The intent isn't so much to get Romney to do something-- Romney's immensely more popular in Utah than Trump-- but to warn other Republicans, especially vulnerable ones up for reelection, like Susan Collins (ME), Cory Gardner (CO), Thom Tillis (NC), Joni Ernst (IA), Martha McSally (AZ)... to not even think about breaking with Señor Trumpanzee. 





I have another couple of videos for you as well-- both songs by fantastic Texas musician Max Frost, a multi-instrumentalist blue-eyed soul singer, that I somehow missed when they were released in 2016. The one above, "President," came out about 6 months before the election. On the day he put it out, Frost wrote on his Facebook page that he was "releasing a new song called 'President' today that I've written in reaction to our current race for president in the US. While the song doesn’t have a specific political agenda, my aim is to show how disenfranchised my generation has become with our political system. It's become a TV show and we are merely the observers. Even the popular candidate's chances are dissolved by the convolution of a broken government that, even after it is exposed, continues to operate as a plutocracy. How are we suppose to care when all outcomes feel the same?"

The second one, "Adderall," came out a month after Trump was declared the winner of the election. Many people say the song, one of Frost's most popular, could be the personal theme song for the illegitimate president who happens to be severely addicted to the very deleterious drug. Listen to the infectious tune below, but these are the lyrics. Come on, remind you of anyone we all know and wish we didn't? [Contribute to Bernie's campaign here.]

I got a new disease

I saw it on TV

It's takin' hold of me

And I believe that I might be insane

My thoughts are incomplete
Up late, I don't get sleep
They say it's clear to see
That ADD is all there's left to blame

I can't get it together
I should know better
I got a mind like weather
That always seems to change

It's getting harder
So I need a doctor
He's gonna make me smarter
At least that's what they say

I've been bouncing off the walls
And shaking, the Adderall
Won't loosen the pressure
There's only so much I can take

Wake up, I need someone
To stop me, cause Adderall
Won't loosen the pressure
There's only so much I can take

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
There's only so much I can take

I break into the scene
Buzz from a new vaccine
That's curing all my dreams
It's fine with me, as long as I get more

My doors left off the latch
And all my mirrors cracked
Now there's no turning back
So I just laugh and pass out on the floor

I can't get it together
I should know better
I got a mind like weather
That always seems to change

It's getting harder
So I need a doctor
He's gonna make me smarter
At least that's what they say

I've been bouncing off the walls
And shaking, the Adderall
Won't loosen the pressure
There's only so much I can take

Wake up, I need someone
To stop me, cause Adderall
Won't loosen the pressure
There's only so much I can take

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
There's only so much I can take

I can't sleep cause I don't wanna
I don't want no marijuana
Tell my mom I tried to warn ya
Take one more and I'm a goner

I've been bouncing off the walls
And shaking, the Adderall
Won't loosen the pressure
There's only so much I can take

I've been bouncing off the walls
And shaking, the Adderall
Won't loosen the pressure
There's only so much I can take

Wake up, I need someone

To stop me, cause Adderall

Won't loosen the pressure

There's only so much I can take

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
There's only so much I can take
