Song of the Day 3/5: Suzanne Vega, “When Heroes Go Down”

The story, most recently, of Andrew Cuomo, lionized during the early days of the pandemic as the anti-Trump. From Suzanne Vega’s 1992 LP 99.9F°.

When heroes go down
They go down fast
So don’t expect any time to
Equivocate the past

When heroes go down
They land in flame
So don’t expect any slow and careful
Settling of blame
