It's never too late to do the right thing...

I rarely pay attention to the politics of any pop culture personality. In fact, I pay very little attention to pop culture personalities in general (as evidenced by how little I knew about Dolly Parton upon her recent passing).

Jelly Roll is a figure I first became aware of when his song "I Am Not Okay" first came out. The lyrics, tempo, melody all spoke to me. And I liked a few other songs of his that I found after that. Someone told me he was a country artist and I thought, he doesn't sound country??

And, again, I had no idea what his politics were. Nor did I care. Apparently some people felt he was a MAGA Republican. And now some people think he's a socialist. I only know those two things because I saw his monologue from when he hosted the Jimmy Fallon show. Here it is:

Suddenly I'm obsessed with this guy. Every single political idea, concept, and philosophy that he espouses in this video could come from my mouth. I felt it was worth sharing.

And, in the words of Jelly's father:
It is never too late to do the right thing.

And there was me thinking you were referring to the legendary Jelly Roll Morton

@ArtieKat I thought that too. No, someone I've never heard of, using the original blues musician's name.

He was a hard core felon in prison that found redemption. I like several of his songs. He followed his dad's advice.

i did watch everything and Jelly Roll does make quite the orator that speaks from the heart. I never really ascertained the politics that he follows but must confess that my favorite lines was “ I guess now that I've lost all this weight, folks can finally see I have balls". 😁
great talent, but, like alot of other entertainers, he has delusions of grandeur.
