Frank Zappa’s Hot Rats was released on this date in 1969. The Hot Rats Sessions (2019) is a six CD set of music recorded then. Here are my two favorite songs and earlier versions of them.
Examples of how Republicans won’t accept the will of the voters
In Florida, voters determined that former felons could vote. Florida Republicans tried to negate this by passing a terrible poll tax.

In Missouri, voters approved the expansion of Medicaid but Republican legislators blocked it. A court finally stepped in and overruled them.

John Prine (the album) is 50
This is a great album. Our college radio station was giving away albums and one of my friends took this one because John Denver had covered “Spanish Pipedream”. We didn’t know anything else about it. It’s full of great songs and showcases Prine’s ability to inhabit the lives of a variety of people including women and the elderly. My favorite song here is “Angel from Montgomery”. I have other posts on songs from this album that were covered.
