I don't know about you, but I was not in a celebratory mood this New Year's. Not just because of all the downers of 2016, which seemed to pile on in the fourth quarter so fast we could hardly catch our breath. It's that most of those downers are either forever, or not going away anytime soon, or -- looking ahead -- just going to get worse. My downer short list: Bernie Sanders' loss, Trump's win, Prince, Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Syria, terrorism, gun violence, more Israeli land grabs from Palestine, and Flint still doesn't have safe water to drink. Call me a pessimist, but 2017 isn't looking much better.
