PLAYLIST FOR “MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO UNCERTAINTY” (1.11.17)

We live in uncertain times, though, honestly, I’m not even certain about that anymore. If you were betting that I’d try to put you at ease and make things better, you totally lost that bet, bud. Two hours of songs about uncertainty of one kind or another. The only thing certain is every singer is a winner.
