Jimmy Fallon Channels Bob Dylan For Our Times

[Perknose]

Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that our country don't feel like our home
And that silence speaks louder than those who condone
If a tweet to you is worth favin'
Then lift up your voices and put down your phones
For the times they are a-changin'

Come women and men who hashtag Me Too
And believe me when I say that we believe you
For weak is the man who calls truth "fake news"
Time’s up, our silence we’re breaking
And even though Mel Gibson was in Daddy's Home 2
Well the times they are a-changin'

Come athletes with platforms throughout the land
Who by taking a knee are taking a stand
And before you shout out that they should be banned
Listen to what they are saying
Perhaps they'd stand up if you reached out your hand
Well the times they are a-changing

Come journalists, writers who report the facts
And brandish your pen to fend off his attacks
Look past what he says and look at how he acts
The fire and fury is raging
For his words can hurt, but your words can fight back
New York Times, they aren't a-failin'

Come leaders who bully like Internet trolls
We'll curse you with four-letter words 'love' and 'hope'
For we will go high even when you go low
The order is re-arranging
For you have the power, but we have the vote
The times they are a-changin'

^^^ A beautifully done, modern day call to arms.

Donald Trump is a lying blowhard, and a clear and present danger to the social and political fabric of our republic.

He puts nincompoops in the highest positions of power, gives cover to ugly racists, energy and validation to nutcase, right wing conspiracy theorists and dangerously theocratic authoritarians, and, at every turn, tilts the playing field of our nation in favor of the ultra rich, who would rape our resources and deplete our treasury for their short term personal gain.

Um... that was fucking fantastically done. I'm not a fan of his late night show, he gushes too much and everything is "the best thing ever". That withstanding, I thought that was a brilliant take on a classic protest song. Thanks.

Yeah, not a fan of his show for the self-same reasons, but this show got recorded at the tail end of the Super Bowl and I'm glad I caught this.

X2. I'm not a Fallon fan, but that was wonderful.

Lol, a female friend just sent me Fallon doing Springsteen taking the piss out of Chris Christie for Bridgegate, with a supporting appearance by The Boss his own damn self.
