Song 423: This week on the playlist you can hear Double Standards by Patti Rothberg, who also wrote the song, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. Once again, seven weeks have passed since my last personal friend song post. I met Patti in the studio one night in 2003 while she was working on her third album, and this is the title track for that project. At the time, I was working on the Elder Street cut Marketplace, which I just posted yesterday as my September 2018 SoundCloud release. Anyway, I quickly got acquainted with her music, and immediately became a big fan. I had the pleasure of hearing a number of DS pieces before the official release, including this one, and I liked them all. I even considered jokingly suggesting to Patti that she could run for president as a way to promote her release, since presidential candidates very often say one thing and then do another and that fact would easily highlight her song and her CD. While I didn't actually mention the idea to her, I still think it might have made for a very entertaining record promotion campaign, and of course, her little piece of advice about Don't you even try To make sense of all you see applies to the current moment quite a bit more than it did 10 years ago.
