This week, the Supreme Court removed the last obstacle to America’s joining the rest of developed nations in providing universal health care for its people. This is an historic week (and makes Obama an even more historic President). After all of the conflicts we have and will continue to be engaged in with the forces of greed and tyranny, we should take some time to savor this victory for our nation and future generations…and celebrate!
So this week’s theme is about celebrating, feeling good and doing a happy dance. If it makes you feel good, post it!
First, to hell with all the cautionary voices about spiking the football! I love the smell of spiked footballs in the morning, it smells like victory!
We Are The Champions – Green Day
I’m Winning – Santana
Good Vibrations – Beach Boys
Feels So Good – Chuck Magione
Happy – Rolling Stones
Harry–Let The Good Times Roll;
Two versions of the same song: the first version – the “famous” one – by Jimmy Buffet and Martina McBride. The second by a guy I knew, and he wrote the damn song. He died a couple of years after this, which was a shame. Stephen Bruton’s version of Trip Around the Sun is my fave. I also did that cruise. If you ever want to have a good time (that just sounds nasty, now), check out the Sandy Beaches cruises courtesy of Delbert McClinton. But only if you are fun!
