should be an interesting year....

so afraid
Days when the rain and the sun are gone






BUT......

You wake up early every morning,
Worrying about your earthly possessions, yes.
(don't make it hold ya)
(don't make it hold ya)
In these obsessions.

I see Jah glory, in the morning sun.
I see Jah glory, when the day is done.

work with me.
side by side.

i started this thread back in February because i thought it might be interesting to parallel the '72 election with the '12 election.
Obama could play the obvious incumbent Nixon role and i had a vision of Ron Paul, the anti-war candidate playing the role of McGovern.
well, for a while it looked like there might actually be a bit of brokered convention drama down in Florida this year but it wasn't meant to be.

In the end I like McGovern a lot more than I like Ron Paul anyway, but i just liked the idea of Obama beating Paul in a landslide because the Republican Party abandons Paul like the Democratic Party abandoned McGovern, only to have Obama not finish out his second term.

Life is rarely that neat and tidy though.

For the most part, very few people downloaded these issues of RS anyway, so I sort of abandoned this thread.

But with the recent passing of McGovern, I figured I would link this interview that David Feldman conducts with Stephen Vittoria about his film, "One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern".
Mumia also gets a mention.
