I haven't been posting too much about current events here. I never wanted or intended to... but as you may be aware since last year, I have felt compelled. When I do make posts like this, I do not consider them political though some might. I believe there is value in all political viewpoints being heard and respected. I do not, however, there are things happening that go far beyond political differences.
I am proud of and support the young people speaking up about the cancer of gun violence which has gripped our country. I am disgusted by those who attack, threaten or belittle these engaged young people.
On another note, as the Mueller investigation moves forward, we are clearly in uncharted territory as a nation. I don't know how this will end or even how it should end, but it is clear that our nation is and has been under attack and we need to do something.
Personally, I think our democracy is broken and needs to be repaired. I don't know how or if it will be repaired. These are definitely interesting and troubling time.
The near constant barrage of information is overwhelming. I believe there is a concerted effort to instill a sense of chaos and confusion to keep American's back on their heels. I, for one, need to find solid ground.
As always, I turn to music as a solace.

I am super excited to announce that E2TG will be back at The 5 Spot every Thursday in June. We will be celebrating our seventh anniversary in style with a different awesome line up every week. I am currently finalizing acts and dates, but expect further announcements soon!
Now, it's Monday, and as you may know, on Monday, we shuffle up songs from Nashville's past and present. We call it Music City Monday. Since the beginning of the new year, we have been shuffling up a special Spotify playlist made up of some of the awesome people who have called Nashville home.
If you want to explore the playlist at your own leisure, you do so
HERE. As always, when I post from Spotify, I remind you that if you hear music you love, go ahead and purchase it. Spotify is a tool for hearing music, but it does not, unfortunately pay artists well. Saving or downloading music on that site is not the same as buying the music.
Anyway, we have a cool list today - so let's shuffle!
