As music journalists, we often turn to songs for catharsis and for direction, so we compiled a list of songs that we hope readers might find useful in these times. You'll find punk, hip-hop, soul, pop and more represented in these songs. Some of them are overtly political, some are not.

But he also feels the airline may be suffering from something of an identity crisis.

For years one of the biggest things Colorado parents were warned to fear on Halloween was tampered candy. Those warnings took an ominous edge after recreational pot was legalized in Colorado.
