My musical based on Donald Trump’s New York fraud trial is still a work in progress, but today’s appearance in court by the porn star to whom he paid hush money could be an act — not to say sex act — in itself.

I’m sure you can think of more songs about bad weather, so please add to the list.

Today’s edition of Pop Stand goes out to Donnie and the “Weather girl.”
