Today, President Joe Biden said that he believes American life can be closer to normal by Independence Day. Trouble is, many Americans probably don’t know exactly what normal is after a year of adapting to pandemic life. This idea is reflected in the AJR song, “Normal.” So, it’s our Song of the Day.

March 9 – Song of the Day

Today, we are continuing to see fallout from Oprah Winfrey’s blockbuster interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The interview fanned the flames of controversy that has followed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle since they announced their engagement. The Genesis song “Duchess” actually tells the story of a singer who attains immense fame … and the negatives that can accompany it. Considering the title and subject matter, it seems like a perfect choice for our Song of the Day.

March 8 – Song of the Day

Today is International Women’s Day, so it seems appropriate to deliver one of the best songs ever written about female empowerment. The Queen of Soul had many incredible songs, none better known than “Respect.” Interestingly, the tune was originally written and performed by Otis Redding, but Franklin’s version is the one most remember.

March 7 — Song of the Day

Tonight is the 26th Annual Critics Choice Awards broadcast. As a longtime film critic and Critics Choice member, I typically attend. This year, however, there is no big party due to the pandemic. Still, it will be fun to see who wins the big awards during a year that movies were — arguably — more important than ever. So, our Song of the Day is “Movies” by Houthouse Flowers.

March 5 – Song of the Day

Today, it was announced that Democrats in the Senate have agreed to cut jobless benefits in the COVID-19 aid bill by 25% per week. The 1983 Bryan Adams hit “Cuts Like a Knife” is about romance, not politics, but this bureacratic knife wound is so deep that it seems appropriate to use the tune for our Song of the Day.

March 4 — Song of the Day

One of today’s top headlines is that Las Vegas Sands is selling the Venetian and the Sands Expo and Convention Center. Although these properties will remain (under new ownership), this basically means the end of major U.S. operations for the company. The sale comes about two months after the death of Sands founder Sheldon Adelson, a man who had outsized influence on Las Vegas culture. This major shakeup in Nevada business led me to choose “Waking Up In Vegas” by Katy Perry as the Song of the Day.
