Song of the Day 1/20: John Prine, “Sweet Revenge”

I hate to repurpose one of my favorite songwriters, but this should be the theme song for the rest of Donald Trump’s first, and with luck only, term as president. I guess it’s true that all of his friends are not dead or in jail — some are still awaiting sentencing.

Lyrically, the first verse scores a perfect 10 from all but the stingiest East German judge.
