Humans have the marvelous capacity to lose track of time. While each day goes by we go through our routines, and recognize some passage of hours.

Weeks make sense based on society and weekends. Seasons, these too are intuitive.

But the passage of the years, which is certainly a human construction, doesn’t seem the same. What am I getting at? Let me tell you in a roundabout way: I recently added a couple of diaries to my hotlist. Today I decided to check for new posts. I was amazed. The first diary I saved to my hotlist and didn’t delete was... more below the fold.

I was reminded in another blog that 28 years ago today, John Lennon was shot.

In a diary today, there was a three-person minithread on baseball. It was wonderful to me to think about the national pastime again, and to think that we're only six to eight weeks away from that wonderful newspaper headline, "Pitchers and Catchers Reporting Today."

I love baseball. to me it has a wonderful tempo, and the rules, which set up nine innings, three outs per side, don't take time into consideration.

I know at least one member of this nation (Caldonia) is aware of the father of Rhythm and Blues, Louis (pronounced luwee) Jordan.
Following in the path set by Unitary Moonbat, I want to try to introduce American artists that perhaps few have heard of, perhaps many (some will be quite famous, some will appear to be anecdotal) at least until i get tired of doing so.

Now, I taught the weeping willow how to cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear, blue sky
And the tears that I cried for that millage are gonna flood you, big river,
and I'm gonna sit right here until I die (Johnny Cash)
If you've noticed, i haven't been around lately. I've been working on a school tax issue.

I lost.

This is, quite simply, an observation on the ability to impeach. It is not a diatribe on the relative intelligence of certain dailykos members, their ability to reason or lack of ability to reason, and their desire that hyperbole and passion override facts (okay, maybe it is.).

I recently discovered youtube, about 2 months ago (I know, where have I been?). I also have for years been collecting protest songs... always a contrarian, I suppose.

What's the point? I have found a wonderful song by Pete Seeger, made popular during Vietnam, that is just as salient today as it was then.

I wanted to share it with you. It's a great diary for a Saturday night, I think.

Please feel free to add your protest songs--I always wonder what people think of when they think of protest songs...
