O-BA-MA!

from nin.com:

"I'd like to thank all of you who attended the first leg of the Lights In The Sky tour. If you missed it, check the schedule - we'll be playing through the rest of this year. If you've seen it, come back - we'll have some new tricks up our sleeve on this next leg. We're very proud of this show and it's been exciting (and quite the challenge) for us to present it to you.

Oh, and it was quite a surprise to get back home, turn on the television and discover we've apparently won the war in Iraq! Yeah, some woman from Alaska said so - apparently that troop surge was all we needed! That's good news, because I was starting to think all the shame and embarrassment I've felt as an American citizen traveling abroad the last few years wasn't going to pay off in the end. Now I can rest easy knowing we've successfully spread FREEDOM - AND we've stopped evildoers in their tracks.

US citizens: Nobody wants anyone preaching their opinions at them - particularly a musician - but PLEASE get involved and pay attention to what's happening during this election and try to see through the clutter to the substance of what is or isn't being said.
Wouldn't it be great to feel proud of this country for a change? Seems like it's within reach.

OK - I got it out of my system. Thanks for reading.

we've been trying to get obama signs for our house but don't feel like paying the shipping charges to buy them from his website. anyhow, today noelle and i were at 7-11, and there's this hair salon next door with an obama sign in the window. so we asked an employee who happened to be walking out where she got the sign. then she busts one out of the trunk of her car and gives it to us. rad! but then we ended up talking with her for a half hour and she turned out to be really rad. very enthusiastic. i love how excited obama supporters get when they talk about him. and she called mccain a "little punk"... and anyone who uses the word "punk" to describe someone has my vote.

oh, and on ets someone said "robin makes aaron look like a punk." that's it, exactly. succinct.

k bye.
