Congratulations, audience: you have survived the 2016 winter holidays! It is time to bid a slightly preemptive, melancholy good riddance to December and to the whole sad year of 2016, and along with it the many brilliant artists who left the Earth this year, including Prince, David Bowie, George Michael, and Merle Haggard. Homage is paid to Mr. Haggard through a cover of Cynthia’s favorite Christmas song “If We Make It Through December,” and an anti-capitalist mantra is offered to help you survive the remaining days of this commercialized holiday season.
