And my #FourthOfJulyPlayList continues with a rendition of 'Get Up, Stand Up' with 'War' as an added bonus from #BobMarley's 1976 performance at the #TowerTheater in Philly where I was in attendance. He'd lived in nearby Wilmington DE about a decade before.

Continuing the reflection on #BobMarley's wisdom today.

"I no have education. I have inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool."

This is "I Put Up Tariffs" 🎶- perhaps the first ever parody song (?) to make reference to the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. It's based on #BobMarley's legendary "I Shot the Sheriff" and sung from the point of view of #Trump, unleashing his frenzy of #tariffs on the USA & the world.

3. Great pizza bread that my wife made.
