Grief, anger, disbelief: Trump voters face Biden's victory
Still, any fragment of possibility is enough for some Trump supporters to reject reality, feel aggrieved and rebuff Biden's calls for unity.

Album coverWell, as The Rolling Stones โ Steel Wheels Live (Eagle Rock Entertainment) โ proves, the Stones still could rock and roll. Highlights include some of the many new cuts from Steel Wheels (โSad, Sad, Sad,โ โRock and a Hard Placeโ), a slinky, sexy โMiss You,โ ethereal โRuby Tuesdayโ and โYou Canโt Always Get What You Want,โ and barnburners โHonky Tonk Women,โ โGimme Shelterโ (featuring Fischer), and โBrown Sugarโ (with Keys recreating his classic solo). It was an appropriate article of clothing, as the Rolling Stones on this show certainly went more than 12 rounds, punching well above their weight class for the skeptics. Whatโs even more shocking is that they are still playing shows โ now with a median age of mid-seventies โ to audiences that included children of the Steel Wheels audience and grandchildren of their original fanbase.
