Odes to Rocky
After Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson ripped on President Bush last month, Rocky-ettes have prostrated themselves before him.
There's a Web site devoted to praise the Rock star. Nationally, liberal bloggers went wild, calling him a "Righteous Dude in a Wrong State." The Salt Lake Tribune recently ran Robyn Blumner's column calling Anderson "America's Mayor."
Now, there's a song.
The liberal radio network, Head-On Radio, meshed Anderson's rant against Bush with the Black Crowes' song "Soul Singin'."
You be the judge if Anderson ruins or raises Chris Robinson's crooning.
And for those of you who want to analyze the choice of background music to Anderson's litany of complaints, here are the lyrics to Soul Singin,' courtesy of http://www.lyricsdownload.com:
"I've been down ...
Cascading in blue without a sound.
Now I've traded my black feathers for a crown.
So, feed me milk and honey
Lay me down,
Lay me down...
Look around,
Show me holy places not yet found,
Let's disappear and we'll hide underground.
And we'll get high, and we'll feel safe and sound.
It comes around.
Arayayayayaround...
Chorus
You got my soul singin', my soul singin'
(soul singin', you got my soul singin')
You got my soul singin', my soul singin'
(soul singin', you got my soul singin')
You got my soul singin', my soul singin'
(soul singin', you got my soul singin')
You got my soul singin', my soul singin',
(soul singin', you got my soul singin')
Homebound...
Tired, so tired of running town to town.
Tired of my heart turned upside down.
Now my life's a smile and not a frown.
The sound,
the sound.
Chorus
You got me...
Chorus"

I wasn't that heady about it.
"Soul Singin" had an energy that sat just right.
I wouldn't pick it apart line by line. However,
"I've been down ...
Cascading in blue without a sound.
Now I've traded my black feathers for a crown"
Has an interesting imagry don't you think?
and
"Look around,
Show me holy places not yet found,"
A Positive Plan for the future is what our nation needs.
