I'm as cynical as the next guy about politics and the future of the country, but what I'm watching today feels to me like a pretty honest outpouring of music and sincere speech in acknowledgement of the notion that, despite how fucked things are, we are still the most prosperous nation on Earth. Plus, I can't get overly cynical about people calling for love for one another and recognizing that we have, indeed, come a long way since the days of the ownership of human beings. :-)
