I have a funny feeling folks that this boat is leaving the dock and if Hillary does not catch it
real soon, she is going to be left behind real damn quick.


Bob Dylan - The Times Are A-Changing


Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

2. She's already gone. The times are indeed changin'.
Now I will have this song going through my head all night.

Could be worse, though.

6. Nobody said it was easy around here. . . You think that song is hard to forget?
Try this one:

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And think of all the great things we would do

Chorus:

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

10. The creative outpouring Obama has inspired amazes me.
There are so many wonderful songs and videos that have been produced during his campaign.

I've always loved this song and the montage includes a picture of my daughter, so naturally it's my favorite. :)

12. Here's an interesting video of Dylan on Canadian TV.
It's the first of about six songs he performed on the show. Dylan had this thing about cabins up north. Mentions being in a cabin in lots of his songs.
