Randy Rainbow is so amazingly talented. Also clever, funny, insouciant, sarcastic, witty, charming, snarky, sly ,iconoclastic, and cute as a sack of gay kittens. He is also deeply committed to liberal politics.
Every parody song he creates is an attempt to wake up the rest of us. He shines a spotlight on what has gone so terribly wrong in politics since the rise of Trump and MAGA. He points out the hypocrisy, the cruelty, the ignorance, the bullying behaviors, the noise and anger, the lying lying lying of the far right wing of the Republican party. And he does it in the most delicious, fun, and flippant way possible, without scolding, without dark drama and dire predictions. He is really trying to get through to us all, while making sure we still love him and want to be in his company. Amazing.
If you haven't seen his latest, Blank Slate, I highly recommend you watch it. The tune is Taylor Swift's (bouncy and memorable); the lyrics are pure Rainbow. (Be warned that Randy does have a sponsor now, so there is an endorsement in the middle of the video, but it doesn't interrupt the song).
