Not perfectly straightforward and also a bit of a slog in parts, but one doesn't have to understand all of the references on any deep level in order to get the overall point at the end.

The title and subhead alone make a good teaser

Good morning.
I've selected just a few of the many artists from what is known as the Mideast area of our globe. They are incredible voices.

I think it could give you all something to think about.

April 15 is the 105th day of the Gregorian Calendar year,
Setting Orange, Discord 32, 3185 YOLD (discordian),
And let us not forget 13.0.6.7.6 by the Mayan Long Count

Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Note: This is just a modest little bit of art, an old personal piece that I lost in the dark corners of the interwebs and have reconstructed here so that I can share it with some friends. It stakes out no policy, makes no argument, promotes no candidate or issue and is probably not very useful at all in the end. It won't be everybody's cup of tea. But maybe someone will enjoy it. That's my hope anyway.

Today's date is also Setting Orange, Discord 32, 3184 YOLD
(for you Discordians out there)
