After President Obama had one of his worst weeks last month, it’s been almost non-stop good news for him and bad news for Romney. Sometimes you have to take a moment and enjoy the present so this weekend’s music theme is about good things happening, feeling positive and letting worries have the rest of the week off.
Let The Good Times Roll – The Cars
I Get Knocked Down – Chumbawumba
Running Down a Dream – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Happy – Rolling Stones
Beautiful Day – U2
