Maybe it's time for that for some people. For us, it's Friday afternoon, and we found something that links together a lot of stuff that we like, so we're gonna share it.
Justin Trawick is a prolific DC-based musician and all-around good-natured performer. I've seen him play at my local joint a few times (shout out to the Tally Ho), and he never fails to give the audience their money's worth. He's the quintessential journeyman musician, fronting his band, The Common Good, hosting a podcast, playing solo shows, and relentlessly boosting the DMV's music scene.
Tim Kaine is the junior U.S. Senator from Virginia (and Lord in Heaven don't we wish he was the Vice President of the United States), a music fan, and an honest to Whitney FOGTB. (When I met Kaine last October during the Town of Leesburg Halloween parade, I told him of our mutual friendship with Whitney and his father, Harry. Senator Kaine offered warm regards for both, and confessed to actually liking them. Easy to believe about the father. Somewhat more surprising, the son. I'll leave out the part where I was dressed as Uncle Fester from The Addams Family when I made the Senator's acquaintance.)
Kaine is also an avid music fan who plays a mean harmonica, I'm told. Rolling Stone wrote in October 2016, "If elected, Tim Kaine will be the most music-savvy VP in American history." Fucking "if". Goddamn you, Rudyard Kipling.
That love of music is where this story gets interesting, from a Gheorghie perspective.
Senator Kaine teamed up with Trawick and The Common Good as part of an event the former hosted celebrating live music. The song they chose is...interesting. Almost as much as the way Kaine described it. Enjoy.
Really wish that was our Vice President, folks. Really, really do.
