"Social media has become more important. When I go to events, it's not big crowds like we used to have. We make sure that is the case, so we don't violate public health issues.

In other cases, Coon said his party would put candidates in the back of a truck in a busy area and encourage people to approach to discuss the issues, but getting the message across wasn't always easy. Thomason said most people were willing to talk, but he had a few who refused to come to the door or engage in conversation because of health concerns.

It appears you mailed in your review. This writer is an idiot. The song at worst is solid and if you don't understand the meaning behind the song you shouldn't be reviewing it.
