Today’s earworm is some advice from Nina Simone for the Democratic party. The Dems weren’t her specific target when she wrote it in 1964—in an hour of concentrated fury. It was her response to the murders in Mississippi of Emmett Till (lynching), Medgar Evers (shot in the back), and the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church, in Birmingham, Ala., that killed four Black girls.
I’m just going to let Nina Tell her own story.
