Thinking that it might be time to start a breakaway music channel for the KKK- the Kool Kolored Kids, Kaptured, Krammed, and Konfined, in Kiddie Koncentration Kamps, in MFing TeKKKsas. They even had the nerve to try an put them on Emancipation Blvd. in Houston. There is truly no bottom. Here is Jennifer Hudson Easy to be Hard https://youtu.be/Mlg4mhkTnOg
Someone I follow posted this song on the Summer Solstice. Spirit of the Plants
Lovely.

I've always loved Queen/Freddie Mercury. This uplifted me -- I especially love the final tune of his performance, "We are the Champions." I've been singing it to myself all morning.

@unk-p, I love the Mercury/Bowie videos! Thanks for sharing them.
When I was viewing your links I came across this one. It shows a young man hearing Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time. I love this guy -- he really makes me smile!

I just watched that young man watching Rhapsody for the first time. I love what he said slowly with so much feeling and awe, "This is music."
(and for everyone)
OMG!!!!
You need to hear this song. My 20 year old daughter just played it for me. It dropped today from the group The 1975, a UK band. She loves and follows this band. It is spoken instrumental. piece, not a "typical " song.
THIS is our YOUTH! They are SO enlightened.
OMG!!! Unbelievable. It is about climate change. I am listening to it again as I type and I am crying.

Dear Baltimore,
Just a note to remind you, that if the (p)Resident hates you, it is because he has first hated me. signed, America
shout out to Deetoo, Cindy, Lisa, and all of the other beautiful Baltimore babes! If any of you know other great songs from your city, please lay them on us now!
@unk-p, What a kind and loving thing to do ... thanks, hon! It takes away some of the pain I was feeling about his vile comments. (I'd also spent way too much time using expletives this past week!) I lived my first 30 years in Baltimore City -- don't live there now, but I'll always be a Baltimoreon at heart. The John Waters' movie Hairspray (the original 1988 version) really captures the Baltimore where I grew up.
Here are some songs:
Raining in Baltimore (Counting Crows). Sad song, but I love it:

Dancing in the Streets (Martha and the Vandellas) -- not specifically about Baltimore, although as a teen and young adult I'd anxiously wait for Baltimore to be mentioned in the song. It makes me think of the grittiness and soul of the city:
