Now That We've Solved Everything, 2025
Written by Billy Simons Jr.
An ironic ode the senile liar currently corrupting the White House. "And when that grifter steps in shit / They lick his boots from heel to tip." The world needs more musicians like this, in the vein of Woody Guthrie (and it's his birthday today, in an odd bit of synchronicity; I didn't know that until I started to write this). Brave, well-spoken, and unwilling to play to the middle. Unlike many political musicians, Simons doesn't let the music lean on the crutch of the lyrics, although his acerbic wit is sharp as a razor ("Forget the Paine of common sense / We reign with our incompetence"). He also lets his acoustic guitar support the song, crafting catchy melodies. I just discovered this artist and I'll be listening to more.
