5. It's happening all over the WORLD!

I'm curious to see just how much of a bounce the world's opinion of the USA takes. We have a lot of work to do to erase the worst eight years in our history, so let's get started.

25. I just got back from East Liberty..

Highland & Baum... The Shadow Lounge and that one around the corner on Highland that connects to it. They had a huge wide-screen with Obama's acceptance speech, followed by a dance party. Crowd was overflowing into the street... cars blowing horns... everyone totally psyched.

17. Anybody for a few verses of "Dancing in the Streets"?

Callin' out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancin' in the streets
They're dancin' in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
Up in New York City

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'
And dancin' in the streets

Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
There'll be dancin'
They're dancin' in the street

This is an invitation
Across the nation
A chance for the folks to meet
There'll be laughin' and singin' and music swingin'
And dancin' in the streets

Philadelphia, P.A. (Philadelphia, P.A.)
Baltimore and DC now (Baltimore and DC now)
Yeah don't forget the Motor City (can't forget the Motor City)

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'
And dancin' in the street, yeah
