Mostly Peaceful

Around the summer as Kenosha was burning under riots from BLM and antifa, we had already seen riots and burning flags all over, CHAZ, CHOP and violence around the country as CNN called them Mostly Peaceful protests. I started coming up with this pick for a playlist. I'm sure you can come up with more songs to fit this (I did and someday I will make volume 2) so leave a comment about them below. In the meantime listen to this when you start thinking of lawlessness and how some politicians refused to stand up against this kind of violence and brutality. All the bad parts of protests and very little good. Except for this playlist which has a great pick of songs from all over the map genre-wise. Actually even though the events weren't funny, I chuckle every time I listen to this comp. CNN thinking they could gaslight us.

Fire Connection 1 (Songs with Fire in the title)

It's cold outside so this What's The Connection? is all about staying warm with a fire. There are so many songs with Fire in the title that it's not even funny. But I have two volumes over this week that I will post. Notice that the genres are all over the place. Can't help that. It's what I listen to. Remember as we start this year, my compilations are made from actual music I own and listen to. Some more than others, I will admit. I have probably played Ohio Players and Sun way more than Rock Master Scott and The Prodigy. But I like them all. Probably less people have heard T-Connection and On Fire is not even their "big" hit, but for me it was my favorite of theirs. Anyway enjoy the playlist and of course the album covers I designed. Leave a comment about any Fire songs I may have missed that you think are crucial and look for volume 2 coming soon.
