I never thought I’d see a day like this in America. I am not going to stand for this, and neither should any American. In addition to sending in 200 @MDSP troopers, after speaking to the Secretary of the Army, I am mobilizing 500 @MDNG members to help restore law and order.

It didn't have to be this bad. @realdonaldtrump failed to lead when it mattered most. And now we have to live with unthinkable consequences. #TrumpDeathToll100k #TrumpLiedAmericansDied

“Just popping to the shop, want anything?” ”Ooh, can you pick me up some sweets, and taramasalata, and pears, and that ham I like. Oh and Brie, and apples, and nibbles, turmeric, a puppy, a desk chair, lawnmower, batteries, some envelopes but only if they’ve got them, and...”

Writing a song to get your audience involved is no worse a motivation than writing a song to sing at your friends’ wedding. Having a purpose can take your ego out of the equation, often a good thing.

Try not rhyming. Especially when the rhyming word is already expected. An unrhymed line sticks out to the listener in a sometimes great way - makes them pay more attention to the words for a moment. (+ you get the benefit of the expected rhyme in the listener's thoughts anyway.)

You might have a grid in your mind and on your computer, but the listener is hearing the vibe of what you’re doing, they don't care about the grid.

It’s often overlooked how John McCain stood up for his opponent, then-Senator Obama back in 2008 against rampant racism and dog-whistles from folks on his own side. RIP Senator McCain
