Weekend Song

One of the songs featured in Matt Damon's new film "The Martian" is this Gamble and Huff hit by the O'Jays from 1973 (and if you haven't yet seen the movie, we highly recommend it), a song we've featured before, "Love Train."  It doesn't have quite the same punch unless you see the "Soul Train" line dancers kicking it (featuring the late Fred "Rerun" Berry in the still, below, and doing the "slo-mo" at approximately 1:08).  (Bring back any memories, Silver Spring Bureau Chief?)  Fro's, hot pants and proof your parents could dance!

Mid-Week Song

Maybe an obvious choice given the 47 traitors Rethuglican Senators who are trying to actively undermine negotiations with a hostile foreign power, but the 1972 O'Jays hit seems perfectly appropriate…except these days, they don't "smile in your face" they snarl in it.



Don't forget, this is what those Rethuglican neocons want above all.  Take it away, Walnuts!
