The Walk of Shame
Goodbye to all that
What I’m listening to
I was walkin’ down the street
In the town where I was born
I was movin’ to a beat
That I’d never felt before
So I opened up my eyes
And I took a look around
I saw it written ‘cross the sky
The revolution starts now
Yeah, the revolution starts nowThe revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear
And tear the walls around you down
The revolution starts here
Where you work and where you play
Where you lay your money down
What you do and what you say
The revolution starts now
Yeah the revolution starts nowYeah the revolution starts now
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
So what you doin’ standin’ around?
Just follow your heart
The revolution starts nowLast night I had a dream
That the world had turned around
And all our hopes had come to be
And the people gathered ‘round
They all brought what they could bring
And nobody went without
And I learned a song to sing
The revolution starts now
Very deep media observations
When you have able news on in the background all day, you hear them cycle through the same news stories repeatedly. But even at that, how many times does the world really need to be told that Michelle Obama hasn’t decided what to wear tomorrow?
Meanwhile on right wing talk radio: boy, does Limbaugh sound bitter and alienated. It’s really somewhat stunning, how quickly the zeitgeist has shifted.
… and: it’s the first episode of Glenn Beck’s new show on Fox … and gosh, he is just awful on live tv …
An extraordinary MLK Day
I have nothing profound to add, that a thousand other people haven’t already said in the last hour alone. It just seems strange not to acknowledge the moment.
