Special End of the World Edition

This is it. 2nd November 2004. Hopefully it will be remembered for being the day that the United States finally snapped out of its zombie daze, elected John Kerry, who then set about correcting the wrongs that have been propagated over the previous four years.

Appropriately enough, the first song that came on iTunes this morning was Madonna's 'American Life'. I think I need to make a new cd to listen to today, starting with U2's 'Beautiful Day', since Kerry has been playing that a lot at his rallies, but prominently featuring The Boss. It's funny how, when I was a mindless child, I used to sing along with the chorus of 'Born in the USA' whenever it came on, and thought that it was all about how great it was to be born in the USA and how wonderful a country it was and all. Oh, the naïveté of the child.
