It'd be silly to not use Sheryl Crow's "Let's Get Free" as our candidate's campaign theme song

[tridim]

I heard it as a bumper during Malloy and decided to break out the CD and crank it. The song is very powerful and inspiring at high decibels! And best of all, the lyrics are hopeful for the first time since the song was released. It gave me goosebumps and chills.

Give it a listen at full blast and think about it playing as the balloons drop in Denver. :bounce:

Let's Get Free

Well, I went searching
For something I could believe
So I turned on the TV
I was fed hypocrisy
Leading me towards a sea of confusion

I heard a voice
Ringing like music in the air
Breaking hearts most everywhere
All the people in despair
Cry out for justice to be fair to every people

Saying let's get free, let's get free
Don't just believe in what you hear
Don't just believe in what you see
Let's get free, let's get free
You've gotta open up your mind
'Cause truth is what you need
Oh, truth is what you need

All the love
Can prop you up and make you stand
Some are sinking in the sand
With all that silver in their hand
Take a message to that man
That wisdom is power

And tell me now
Do you have Allah on your side?
Or is it Jesus, or your pride?
Will it get you through the night?
Every man has to find something to believe in

Let's get free, let's get free
You gotta believe in what you feel
And feel what you believe
Let's get free, let's get free
You can open up your heart
'Cause love is all you need
Oh, love is all you need

Before the dawn
Comes the darkest hour of night
You either walk into the light
Or you turn and close your eyes
And fade into a dreamless sleep and hide

Well every human
Is gonna laugh and sometimes cry
But every tear that fills your eyes
Falls with the weight of sacrifice
Forgiveness is the pain of disappointment

Let's get free, let's get free
Don't just believe in what you hear
Don't just believe in what you see
Let's get free, let's get free
Everything's as it should be
So faith is all you need
Oh, peace is all you need
Oh, truth is all you need, yeah

What the world needs now is love, love, love
What the world needs now is love, love, love
What the world needs now is love, love, love

1. Gotta be honest with you, I like Sheryl, but if it's true

about the one-square-of-toilet-paper "mandate" attributed to her, I think it's best we find another song. Ridicule is not the best way to launch a campaign. I can picture 'Pugs at the GOP convention, holding up rolls of TP and signs saying, "I don't have a square to spare!"

2. Well, all I have to say about that.. Don't fear Republicans, they're weak. nt

4. It was a joke.

She uses Karl Roves face to wipe her ass. And a fine ass it is....

3. I prefer "Steve McQueen"

But what do I know.
