Worst song ever made . . . part 1

This may sound like a joke, but it's not.  

Chicago has released an album called Chicago XXXVI.  

That's 36 for the young crowd who never learned Roman numerals.

Not only that, this record includes the worst song ever made.  Don't believe me, go read the lyrics:

Better yet, you can listen to it and hear for yourself:




I guess it would be too much to expect them to re-imagine some of their earlier political fare like "Dialogue" or "Someday" (or "A song for Richard and his friends," calling on Nixon to quite in 1972), but these guys are rich and old and shouldn't be so afraid to "call a spade a spade" as they once reminded us Harry Truman would do . . .  but their political statement for 2014 is a bunch of empty, and often contradictory, platitudes that I won't even let my second grader get away with.

Instead of blindly slamming our "leaders" for treating us like "fools . . .  who don't have a clue what to do," acknowledge that at least one political party has a vested interest in Government doing as little as possible . . . except repealing Obamacare for the 87th time or threatening to shut down the government to de-fund Planned Parenthood. Hey Chicago: write a song about this.  Meanwhile . . .
