Getting Political on this Song of the Week
Yep. It's been a crazy week. Let's just say it: protesting is as American as it comes. Don't forget: this country was rooted in drunken men throwing rocks and ice at British soldiers.

If you are more concerned about the flag than you are about injustice, especially in communities of color, than this song is not for you. But it is. It is for all of us.
