Oh, that's weird. You know how falling in love makes pop lyrics suddenly seem meaningful? Apparently the same is true for Obama's victory. I'm just listening to Styx's Rockin' The Paradise, which might as well have been written about current events.

So whatcha doin' tonight?
Have you heard that the world's gone crazy?
Young Americans listen when I say there's people puttin' us down
I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy
To tell you the truth we've all seen better days
Don't need no fast buck lame duck profits for fun
Quick trick plans, take the money and run
We need long term, slow burn, getting it done
And some straight talking, hard working son of a gun.
Whatcha doin' tonight, I got faith in our generation
Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes
I ain't lookin' to fight, but I know with determination
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules

Come on take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools
No more big shots, crackpots bending the rules
A fair shot here for me and for you
Knowing that we can't lose

And we'll be rockin' in Paradise
Rockin' the Paradise tonight
Rockin' in Paradise
Rockin' the Paradise tonight
Tonight, tonight...

I feel the same way now when I hear the song "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac

...Given what it's about, I think it'd work for Clinton too!

That's extremely interesting about their jeopardising their tax exempt status. A quick Google also turned up Mormons For Marriage and Affirmation: Gay and Lesbian Mormons

I know what you mean. After Howard was re-elected in 2001, I couldn't get Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" out of my head: "Everybody knows that the boat is leaking/Everybody knows that the captain lied/Everybody's got this broken feeling/Like their father or their dog just died."

Nice to know it works the other way, too.
