Song of the Week #9.3

If you want to get an inkling of the ugly and toxic racism that prevails throughout the US, could I direct you to the comments section of any article talking about how NASCAR honored black lives matter over the weekend.  There's another race tonight, and apparently the only black driver in the competition is going to drive a car with lots of black lives matter imagery over it.  It will be interesting to see if one of the other drivers sends this car into the wall early on as some kind of statement, which would definitely appease the typical fan of this sport.  Let's just say that the type of people who follow stock-car racing are not the type of people who take kindly to the protests going on throughout America right now.  Understatement.

Today's random song is a surprisingly good one-hit wonder from the late 70's.
