"Walk with me reminisce in my life" - Estelle, 1980 (courtesy of said the gramophone)
That Estelle joint up there is the jam. THE JAM. You can talk about your Welcome Back's and your Lean Back's all you want, I'm going back to 1980 with Estelle.
I lied yesterday. Bill Clinton was the magick. Barack Obama is the magick! Read the speech. I was listening on the radio as I drove home from work and had to pull into the grocery store parking lot and just sit and pay attention. Mr. Obama coupled with Howard Dean's real talks (not that convention stuff, let's Take Back America) was some inspiring, moving oratory. If Mr. Obama is the future of the party and Dean is driving the bus then maybe I can stick around for awhile.
Lurch better come correct, though. Both the old blood and the new have been on point when they got their chances to speak this week. The real question for me is whether or not John Kerry can take this chance to really define himself, his party, and his Vision for America in real terms? The opportunity is right there for him.
The Afro-Netizen was finally moved while blogging the convention. I think this kind of writing is what bloggers should be doing while at the DNC. Don't try to be journalists or the quirky web pundits or the bored with nothing to say. Be the everyman or woman who is getting to experience something first hand that few get the chance to. Blogs are about feelings and perspective and voice.
Or, you know, you could just steal other people's shit.
