Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)

This heartbreaking Patterson Hood rocker contrasts the situation of the song's poverty-stricken narrator, who can't afford health care for his wife when she gets cancer, with the politicians who do nothing about it. In many ways it foretells the anger and frustration of America's white working class that led to the ill-advised decision to elect Donald Trump as president.
