* The General Assembly will be in session all weekend and I just realized that I didn’t need to find a play-out tune. But if I had closed comments today, this would’ve been the one. Turn it up

  1. Best. Rock. Song. Ever.

  2. Possibly my favorite rock and roll song of all time.

    And built for times like these.

  3. Wondering if “Under My Thumb” would be a more appropriate pick considering how much The Speaker will be trying to pick up the last few votes he needs to retain.

    But good jams are good jams, have a great weekend.

  5. Thanks, Rich. Perfect. The Storm is threatening.
    But you know, the darkest hour is always just before the dawn.

  6. After the Speaker’s decision to close off reporter access to the lame duck session, I also wonder if another possible weekend song could be Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Let Em In.” (1976).

  7. This week I was talking to a co-worker that the harkening back to Altamont that the Hells Angels would have “done a better” job of security at the Capitol. /snark

    Turn it up..

  11. Can’t get it…loud enough.

    Comment by Dotnonymous Friday, Jan 8, 21 @ 3:56 pm

  12. Another song idea for this session: Steely Dan’s “Hey Nineteen.”

    Comment by Essential State Employee Friday, Jan 8, 21 @ 4:23 pm

  13. Sure feels like Altamont these days.

    Merry Clayton sang the backup part after being awakened at home and showed up at the studio pregnant and her hair in rollers. She blew the Stones away with her performance…but had a miscarriage the next morning.
