In the wake of Prime Minister Mark Carney's well-received speech in Davos, Switzerland recently, I thought it prudent to highlight one of the greatest rock songs ever written about political speeches and the politicians who utter them..."Cult of Personality" by Living Colour. This banger of a song won the 1989 Grammy for Best Rock Recording and the MTV award for Video of the Year. Click for the history or for the song, I'm just pleased to have you stop by. Enjoy. have a great rest of your day.

Dean recently won this year's Grammy for Best New Artist and gave a wonderful pro-immigrant speech as she accepted her award. All in all, Olivia Dean is one of my favourite new singers. If this is your introduction to you then I hope that you will like her too. Have a great rest of your day. Stay safe.
