Post Election Euphoria

iPod morning commute music: Creedence Clearwater Revival, various albums, songs shuffled

The is, in my opinion, no band that was more American than CCR. John Fogerty wrote songs that were snapshots of my country in the late '60s, early '70s (and still does today, as a solo artist). In the song, Green River, he sings (forgive me if I don't get everything right here), "Old Cody Jr. took me over, said, 'You're gonna find the world is smoulderin', and if you get lost, come on home to Green River.'"

America just came home. Having taken back both Houses of Congress in 2006, we now need to prepare to take back the Presidency in 2008. The world is smouldering, and we need to put out the fires.

The change has begun.
