Minnesota by The Marsh Family
As one who has been saying for quite some time that we need more of our musicians to stand up and sing about the moments we’re all living through, I’m glad to see that happening as other musicians are singing about the occupation and murders in Minneapolis.
I linked to Bruce Springsteen’s Streets of Minneapolis earlier this week and today I’m linking to the Marsh Family’s new effort, Minnesota. It’s an adaptation of San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair,) that kinda became the counterculture anthem of an earlier moment in American history. This new adaptation is just as simple, straightforward, and haunting. It’s also just as defining.

#TheMarshFamily is very quick off the mark. This came out last night.
Music might sooth the savage beast though I’m not sure it’ll help us through this last week before the election that will decide the fate of the United States and possibly the world. But The Marsh Family is certainly giving it a shot with another terrific musical parody, turning Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody into the Bohemian Trumpsody.

As with their previous parody take on JD Vance, the lyric content hits all the right notes. Interspersing video footage of January 6th, the video hits home in a way that might make calling it a parody seem odd, but the political punch is spot on.
This British family must have a blast putting these efforts together. Their musical efforts have been a highlight in a dangerous political era.
Watch and share it.
