Kansas City Playlist: Where Do We Go After Grocery Week FAIL?!?

By all accounts . . . This was grocery week in the Kansas City metro. 

The main lesson we can take away beyond mere politics . . .  

So-called "Kitchen Table" issues have the potential to unite Kansas City if we can bet past partisan acrimony and focus on how to best serve our neighbors. 

Beyond the trolling . . . Some deserved commentary about the ills of socialism and/or shock over the horrific conditions . . . What we noticed was genuine concern for the East side and how to best utilize resources in order to make sure everyone has access to healthy food . . . Reminders that the nearby Aldi model is working were important and a signal that the situation is far from hopeless . . . And more than anything . . . Conservatives, progressives and even the snarkiest denizens of the discourse WANT to see the East side thrive. 

And so, all of this inspires our www.TonysKansasCity.com playlist with selection of our favorite foodie songs . . .

As always, nostalgia powers our playlist and Jane's Addiction "Been Caught Stealing" speaks to the KC grocery store FAIL for obvious reasons but also because the quirky clip still holds up.

"Lost In The Super Market" by The Clash raged against consumerism with quaint 80s charm that might not have realized how much communities would rely on the mass distribution of food. Still a great track nevertheless.

Mallrat's "Groceries" is pretty great example of listless Gen Z pondering over life and the existential need to stock up.

For the bridge . . . We encourage TKC readers to voyage into the campy deep net and savor "Taste The Biscuit" once again.

Beans and Cornbread - Louis Jordan and the Tympany Five is an all-time favorite foodie song that has been featured in countless movies and TV episodes. Tonight it fits if only because the iconic tune takes us through a journey of acrimony and then eventual friendship.

TKC is taking Sunday off in order to recoup and hope you'll join us when we come back . . . As always, thanks for reading this week and have a safe & fun Saturday night.
