A deep thought about election day (before)
I love this song for the same reasons I love America — the synthesis. It’s a little bit country, a little bit hip-hop, a little bit rock’n'roll. That’s the way we used to roll all the time, but not any more. Yes, history is a straw dog. “How things used to be” is a hollow promise. But still, let’s take a moment, an dedicate it to how things used to be, at least in my imagination.
