Thinking about the difference between a song that MAKES you cry, and a song that LETS you cry. Particularly: about Sam Jones. If you're not familiar: Filk is Science Fiction/Fantasy folk music - "Folk for Folk what ain't been born yet." It is a very good genre, and I will fight you about that.

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President. I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. /1
