Also could be done because it was treated as "entertainment" and there are often pictures. Now excuse me while I gouge out my eyes. With a spoon. And votes.

Damn. That's some heavy shit. I hope Trump's team is too stupid to use the google and let her preform it. It would me fabulous, even though it would please me to no end if nobody would preform for the Putin flavored carrot.

As soon as I saw that, yesterday? anyway, I nearly rolled on the floor laughing. All she needs is a song about "unfuck Trumpolini, no fucks for him...."

Billie Holiday didnt write the song, but it is her version that is enshrined in the Hall of Fame.

RAMMSTEIN is comprised of East German hippies who happen to be metal heads, not evil people.

Are you stupid on purpose, or is it an organic condition you have no control over?

I had never heard of her before I saw this and now I want to buy her album. Legend. Status. I like her.

Also too, Trumpers? Please make this happen.

Just a short historical note:

The author of the poem 'Bitter Fruit' that became the song in question was a Jewish man named Abel Meeropol, who was married to a black woman back in the days when miscegenation was illegal in most of the US. His 'stage name' was Lewis Allen, the names of his two children (who were stillborn), but he adopted two sons later in life. The two boys he adopted were orphaned by the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenburg.

Rebecca Ferguson is only the latest of the brave and talented people associated with the song, its lineage goes back to its inception and creation as a response to the evil that occupies the intersection of 'racism' and 'murder'. I wish that I would have had a chance to meet him while we both walked the Earth.

I bet Freddy Fazbear and his friends would be happy to perform.

[just to be clear, I'm up-fisting the cleverness of your repartee, I'm not suggesting that I find it humorous, I'm not THAT twisted]
