A Ry Cooder: The Prodigal Son (Fantasy) The coup on this gospel-based protest album is master archivist Cooder's overhaul of Blind Alfred Reed's all too jauntily self-righteous "You Must Unload," which skips the captious cigarette-smoking and card-party verses and writes in some jewel-encrusted high heels as it stretches what becomes a heartstruck the-rich-shall-not enter entreaty to five minutes.

I found myself addressing what I felt was the hypocrisy of the church, the spirit of condemnation that I felt coming from the church, and self-righteous attitudes that I saw from some of the church elders and how they viewed secular music, and the way we dressed, and what they thought of the typical musician such as myself in this new genre called techno music.

Or is it worse the Democratic party bought and paid for the Russian lies that were never verified, and yet, were regurgitated by the self-righteous, sanctimonious, delusional media in this country that absolves itself as something they are not, as they claim to be unbiased and fair when they are nothing but the cheerleaders and crusaders for all things that only matter to the Democratic Party and liberal causes?

Trumpism is not Stalinism, but the relevance of Milosz's insights — that intellectuals yearn to 'belong to the masses'; that there is never a shortage of ways to justify cruelty in the name of the presumptively higher truth; that those who refuse to conform are caricatured as self-righteous purists — continues to haunt me as I watch so many I used to admire offer ever-more contorted defenses of Trumpism.

The self-righteous disbelief of "All I Really Want" was there when I saw Jordan with his new girlfriend Jodie; the nurturing, reassuring line of "everything's gonna be fine, fine, fiiine" in "Hand In My Pocket" when I couldn't face the playground at lunchtime; the way Alanis Morrisette sings like she's gritting her teeth in "You Oughta Know" as I imagined that I was her, flinging the words at everyone who had ever wronged me while I stomped and swung around my bedroom floor like a propellor.
