A Little Advice to Donald Trump

Firstly thanks to everyone for your continued support. The William Ogilvie song has maintained its position in the Celtic charts and just hit number two spot globally. It’s all a mystery to me as to how these things work, but I’m forever grateful. I was musing on events of recent weeks, what with Bob Dylan getting the Nobel prize for literature and Donald Trump gaining power. What a contrast! I thought long and hard about what song to upload next, and decided on 'Change is Gonna Come' - it’s kind of dylanesque, to reflect current times. There’s no doubt there is a hunger for change with many people feeling left behind by deindustrialisation on both sides of the Atlantic. Whether Trump will be a positive force for good on the world stage, time will tell, but certainly from my small corner of the world here in Scotland - where his mother hails from - he is generally viewed with derision. Might I suggest that a little bit of self-education about his Scottish heritage and the merits of greater equality would not go amiss, perhaps starting with Robert Burns. For Dylan, Burns was his biggest inspiration and Abraham Lincoln always carried a copy of Burns’s poetry, so The Donald would be in good company. For me, the above image says it all about the kind of sentiments President-elect Donald Trump ought to be expressing. It’s taken from a documentary about Joe Hill, whose life was celebrated last year, being the 100th anniversary of his death.
