I’m amazed how many freeper guys listen to the music of this idiot! Oh, well, back to Siriusly Sinatra on my car radio. Get to hear real singers like Dinah Washington and Ella Fitzgerald.
Well for what it’s worth, not me. I suppose I’m not better as I listen to classic rock (also classic country, bluegrass, operetta, American songbook music, and other stuff). But at least most of the classic rockers, at least the ones I like most (ie Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Little Feat, Steely Dan, The Who) mostly weren’t overtly political, and when they were, it was in that naive “free everything now” hippie way.
As an aside, Roger Daltrey of The Who supports Brexit, and though that doesn’t make him a right winger, he’s said things which intimate that he might be, at least on some issues (I know he’s said things about immigration being out of control).
I have to thank the “musicians” and “music” of the past few decades for causing me to seek out real singers and musicians from earlier times that I didn’t know or didn’t appreciate. For example, will the likes of Taylor Swift ever sound as good as Peggy Lee singing anything, or even Helen Reddy singing “Angie Baby?”

It has a free version with commercials. Lots of other categories, 99% of which I have no interest in.

Or Sarah “Miss Sassy” Vaughan. Her “Brokenhearted Melody” is an absolute classic.
And Sarah Vaughn. I was driving home late one night and picked up CFZM in Toronto on the AM and there was that voice coming through the speakers. Wow!
