<h6>Hey Politician!</h6>
Retribution; in-fighting; stalling; personal attacks;  Sounds like a plot from HBO’s hit series Succession. Actually it’s politics as usual these days.  And just like the hit show, it’s hard to find a likeable character among our current elected officials. Singer/songwriter Larry Folk follows up his moving song of goodbye (Gathering of Friends) with a to-the-point commentary on the current political climate.  Though  never intended to be released publicly, the atrocious level of un-civility that exists in today’s politics begs for the song’s inclusion in his upcoming CD LESSEN THE BLUE.  In the tradition of the great protest songs of the past, Larry’s take on the outrageous behavior is a biting take on our divided reality.   Hey Politician! is a fast, upbeat Bluegrass scorcher that calls for a to return to civility.  In the words of Bob Dylan, “You gotta serve somebody.”  When it comes to our public officials, that should be the people.<br />
