Sure, he’s not their president.
But that’s not stopping some Canadian musicians from penning Donald Trump-tinged tunes and putting out music videos ripe with anti-Trump imagery.
They join the many American musicians fighting Donald Trump’s presidency through song. It’s an obvious platform for a ticked-off American musician. But why do Canucks feel the need to chime in too?
Hollerado frontman Menno Versteeg likens it to a love song.
“Every single love song has been written. But when you have your heart broken or you’ve fallen in love, you want to express your version of that song,” he said.
“It’s kind of the same … it’s like, finally we’ve had enough and we kind of needed to express that.”
The Ottawa band’s new tune, Grief Money, tackles leaders who put money ahead of people; its music video stars Trump on the campaign trail, mouthing along to the lyrics.
The song was actually written before Trump was even in the running for president, but Versteeg said he ended up fitting the role. “It was an unhappy coincidence.”
Hello, sorry about the late start but we have negotiated a settlement with the hamster that runs the web server.
Now all we have to do is work out who gets to tell the raccoon he has to share his cookies with the hamster.
Hello! Glad the negotiations were settled with the hamster.
He was a tough negotiator but we managed to hammer it out.
I’ve heard tell he was a tough negotiator.
I think he learned a lot when he spent that summer as a politicians hair piece
Hammering hamsters is squishy work.
I didn’t want to admit this but he was the one with the hammer

Hammer…hamster…
Reminds me of a Fawlty Towers episode.
Oh, Manuel…
Oh hello.

I’ve never seen Fawlty Towers, might be time to fix that.
@Janet, I was never a fan myself but it shouldn’t take you long to watch them as there are only 12 episodes over 2 seasons
Fawlty Towers was great!
I was a little hurt that none of my posts on FB got a single like or comment for over two weeks now. I had them posting just to my son’s page since Feb 17 because of a post I was sending to him and neglected to change the settings back. DOH!
Whoops! At least you know now it’s not you, it’s your FB settings.
I was a bit confused why I was being completely ignored. hehe
Has anyone seen DBS?
Har har Garf!
I have to head offline to take care of some things, but I’ll chat with you all tomorrow!
ttfn Janet
Ciao Janet!
Good night folks, see you tomorrow
Night Garf.
