FBtA Declares FIDLAR's "By Myself" the Official Music Video of COVID-19 Self-Isolation

Self-isolation is a bit tough to embrace, although most of us are trying. Way, way back in 2019, this song by West Coast kooks FIDLAR was on my favorites list, as I posted toward the end of the year. But now, given where we are with the whole COVID-19 thing, it really is on the spot. I mean, the first line is about crackin' one open with the boys, by myself, which is basically what my sister described doing with her buds the other night, except replace "boys" with "middle-aged foodies" and think wine instead of beer. And if you've been on as many video calls as I have, you're starting to see life as a grid of faces.

Sort of a hellish Brady Bunch. I mean, no Alice = hellish, right?

Plus, the video makes me laugh. (Just a warning, there's one F-bomb at the beginning, so cover the toddlers' ears).
