Challenge to the Artistic Folk Out There
OK, I'm beginning to believe my MP3 player is sentient. Today at the gym the TV was showing Hillary Clinton doing all those middle class things that she thinks show the voters that she's not a multi-millionaire but a regular joe just like them. The player appropriately trotted out the William Shatner cover of Common People. For those not familiar with the song it's about a rich girl trying out all the things common people do. However the common people hate her for "being a tourist" and the chorus has a rant that starts - "You will never understand how it feels to live your life with no meaning or control and with nowhere left to go" - and ends with "watching roaches climb the wall, you could call your dad and he'd stop it all". I think a montage of those Clinton photo ops of bowling and doing shots etc. with Common People in the background needs to be on youtube - I just don't have the skills to do it myself.

Hubby wants to watch a Batman animated movie now - gotta go

Books: Plan B/I am American and So Can You (audio)

Movies: give me a second and I'll see Batman: Return of the Joker

Soundtrack: Smoke some fags and play some pool - pretend you've never been to school

You could do a video with Obama for that matter. Pretty much the majority of politicians in DC.

Obama may not be poor now, but at least he's BEEN poor. He's not that old, he should remember what it was like.

Love that song.
Joe Jackson is the MVP and Ben FOlds knows how to make it work. :)
