Welcome to the Team DFH Freaky Friday Music party.
Because Team DFH operates more or less like a herd of cats, this diary series doesn’t actually have a formal name but we’re here on Friday Nights, at roughly 9PM Eastern, to let our hair down, maybe light up a fattie, and get some groovy on.
Please join in comments with your own contrbutions. Here's HOW: To add vids in comments: Click on "share"; then the "embed" button; change the size of the video graphic too, so when it posts, it is smaller. Use 300pixels in the custom parameters (last one on the right) under the embed code. {h/t joanneleon}
Today was just one of those days... I gathered up some music videos and plunked 'em here sometime early this afternoon. It's a reflection of how Im feeling after this, uhm, emotional week. I did not initially intend it to address DK meta but more just the general social political climate in my country, my sphere, my mind. I have a tendency to be cryptic in my FF music diaries, decidedly so, intentionally so.
There are times when I step out of my 'comfort zone' (as they say) and 'speak my mind' ... just in musical metaphor. heh.
So come on... leap for more.
At his point what I have mostly is questions... this whole past week of this whole OBL IS DEAD! WE GOT HIM! HOORAY!! these song choices reflect my thoughts ... some of them.
...what does it mean?
...are the troops coming home?
...is the Patriot Act gonna be revoked? and the wiretapping stuff amended? can I wear my lace-up purple converse sneakers again when I fly somewhere?
...will the innocent detainees imprisoned in Gitmo be released and sent home?
...will Omar Kadhr go home to his family?
....when have we seen this before...?
and ... as progressives, as Democrats, can we still even have these needed conversations with one another? I don't know anymore.
