(Finished February 1st, 2025) Part 1 of An All Merit Playlist: No DEI Songs Here

Hello,

With our new president tearing down our country with his lies, stupidity and lack of intelligence I love how he complains about DEI. Let’s talk about nepotism, isn’t Trump the original Nepo baby? What would have Trump done if he hadn’t had his Daddy’s money and influence?

Generational nepotism is the worst. Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara, seems to think that she’s a singer. However you will know she isn’t when you hear her version of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down”. When she sings the line “stand me up at the gates of hell” you will fully understand the pain that she’s talking about.

I’ve been working on my iPod playlist for the last few weeks. I’ve got it down to 800 songs and will continue to whittle it down to 600 songs. The songs on my iPod are all merit based, these are all amazing songs. The songs are great no matter the color, gender, sexual orientation or any other criteria.

2) Aerosmith “Walk This Way”:

3) Pet Shop Boys “Opportunities) Let’s Make Lots of Money”:

4) Royal Bliss “Goodbye Love Song”:
