Impressions - People Get Ready (1965)

Lyrics excerpt...
...
People get ready, there's a train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
[Verse 2]
So, people get ready for the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em
There's hope for all among those loved the most
[Verse 3]
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own, believe me now
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there's no hiding place against the kingdom's throne

... Donald Trump makes a campaign stop in Bozeman Friday night, headlining a rally at Montana State University's Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. But a visit from the former president comes with a cost.
Around the country, reports claim his campaign rarely pays invoices to local government for the increased police presence, security and other costs that come with hosting the event. Some places in Montana are still expecting payment.
Back in 2018, Trump visited Montana four times, holding rallies in Billings, Bozeman, Great Falls and Missoula.
Officials with Missoula County confirmed and sent NBC Montana the invoice showing $12,922.82 is still owed. That breaks down to $10,835.41 for officer salaries, $1,059.26 for dispatcher salaries, $693.72 for Office of Emergency Management and $334.43 for miscellaneous expenses. ...

Lyrics excerpt ...
...
Well you didn't wake up this morning
'Cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall
Is ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you've changed
All the money in the world
Couldn't buy back those days
...
Back when i was loading all of my CDs and vinyl albums into a media database ( jriver.com ) I went with the rule that the leading "The" of groups would be dropped.
So, "Who" and not "The Who" in the database. That all worked well until Mr Matt Johnson came along with the great "The The."
What was I to do?
I made an exception, the "The" is dropped for groups, except for "The The."
Wow, I'm now in a happy place.
And, if i may say...
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
They don't write lyrics like that anymore.
From the cited article...
As I have been saying, the Democrats seem to be portraying an aura of happiness and joy for the future.
The Republicans seem to be portraying an aura of gloom and doom because of the past.
