Steeley Dan and Donald Fagan came to mind the other day. One of my favorite
songs by Steeley Dan was "I.G.Y.". Its thirty years old but, its still a great
song full of optimisim and hope for the future. The chorus goes:
"What a beautiful world this would be"
"What a glorious time to be free"
I look at the world today and, it seems that things are different now.
Dick Gephardt: Gone.
Tom Daschle: Gone.
George W. Bush: Re-Elected
Terry McAuliffe: Gone
To add icing on the cake I learned that Kweisi Mfume is leaving the NAACP. To
his credit, he rescued the organization and got it out of debt using corporate
style tactics and management skills to make it solvent. However, it would seem
that the NAACP these days is nothing more than part of the Democratic coalition.
Instead of fighting for things that a majority of blacks want like school
vouchers and faith based programs, they instead oppose anything the GOP proposes
even if it benefits the very people they say they are fighting for.
Now if Julian Bond would leave and fade into the sunset or, into the sun that would be even better.
Anyway for now, I"ll take what I can get. Sing with me!
"What a beautiful world this would be"
"What a glorious time to be free"
