This has been one of the more depressing weeks on record, what with the people of Massachusetts having an episode of decompensation, the Democrats having several, and the Supreme Court giving democracy the coup de grâce, though, truth to tell, the week has not been entirely yuck free on a personal level. Still, it seems only fitting that a depressing week should be capped off with a depressing song, albeit with an anti-depression title. Who does depression better than Neil Young?
Postscript: Last Friday or Saturday, my wife read somewhere that someone or other had done a study, and determined that Monday, January 18th, would be the most depressing day of the year. Even at the time I was pretty sure Tuesday would beat it (who know that both Wednesday and Thursday would beat Tuesday), but still, I must give that expert credit for coming so close, presumably sort of far in advance.
