It’s 8:23 p.m. in Ohio and I’ve been watching CNN and …

Published June 9, 2025 by Nan Mykel

witnessing the standoff between our boys and our boys in L.A.and I keep wishing they would all sing. But what to sing? The idea is to unite them…us… all, of course.

Any suggestions? None fit perfectly, but then I’m an old fogey and not “up” on the latest brand of music. Oh…not those new aggressive ones I’ve read about, and please no sexually arousing ones–although the way some of those troops carry their batons (or swords?) is a little suggestive…Should they be allowed to do that?

Some songs that come to mind are Down By the Riverside; Jump Back Turn Around, Pick a Bale of Cotton; For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow…etc. Maybe readers can add some helpful, healing suggestions?

Next time I hope they have a better sound system.
