In the wake of the No Kings protest, the «Newsroom» actor shared «Crazy World,» a song he wrote and performed on acoustic guitar
Jeff Daniels stopped by MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” with Nicole Wallace to share a protest song he wrote following the national No Kings rallies against the Trump administration. Daniels shared his song in response to a comment by legendary musician Joan Baez, who said during a podcast with Wallace that one difference between the protests of the 1960s and today was that “we had the music.”
Daniels, a vocal critic of Donald Trump’s, sang and played the song on acoustic guitar for just over three uninterrupted minutes on MSNBC. He introduced the piece as “Crazy World” — a song he wrote himself. Daniels said the song is “How I cope.”
“This crazy world’s gone crazy,” Daniels sings in the chorus. “Who am I to judge? It’s nice to know, in a world full of hate, there’s someone out there still making love.
