It is now some 55 years ago that Frank Zappa penned a song inspired by the Watts Riots of that time, and it has proven perfectly accurate and truly prophetic through all this time. The lyrics are absolutely spot on as to fitting the current state of affairs, but even more poignant is that he made the point that this wasn't just about that riot back then, but encompassed the future as well, as is made clear with the following line:

"You know we got to sit around at home
And watch this thing begin
But I bet there won't be many left
To see it really end"

The title of the song is "Trouble comin' every day" and versions of it can be found on line, but I'll not link to any here as it is disturbingly accurate, but you can find it if you wish.

This time however is truly different, and it will be of critical importance as to how it will all play out this time around!

I'm hoping for the best ..... as that is all I can really do at this point!!!
