Lyric Of The Day #7 (April 18, 2020)

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
 
 
Mick and crew provided one of the highlights of Saturday’s “One World: Together At Home” show, with a song that’s perfect for supermarket shoppers in the Coronavirus Era.
 
Some other show highlights:
Stevie Wonder starting with “Lean On Me” and then segueing into “Love’s In Need Of Love Today”
The Roots leading a clever remake of “Safety Dance”
Kacey Musgraves performing “Rainbow” (another great song for the times)
Jennifer Lopez channeling her inner Streisand on “People”
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello doing “What A Wonderful World” (also winning the unofficial award for cutest couple)
Lizzo’s heartfelt take on “A Change Is Gonna Come”
Billie Joe Armstrong’s understated version of “Wake Me Up When September Ends”
 
The program featured appearances by the Secretary-General of the UN, the head of the WHO, Laura Bush, and Michelle Obama. It also included thanks to health care workers and many others, including Michael Bloomberg. But there was no sign of Our Greatest President Of All Time, or even a word of thanks for his heroic efforts. Sad!
