Hypocritical to hold the "leader of the free world" to a higher standard of composure and behaviour? We'll have to agree to disagree about that, I suppose. "Worse than Clinton in prime time", as Lou Reed once said.
Quite a few of my favourite bands put out lots of really exciting, cool stuff in 2017. It was a great year for music that allowed me to explore new ideas and feel positively about the future, even when it seemed like the world outside my window was falling to shit.
