“This is a song called Livin’ In the Future. But it’s really about what’s happening now. Right now. It’s kind of about how the things we love about America, cheeseburgers, French fries, the Yankees battlin’ Boston… the Bill of Rights [holds up microphone, urging crowd to cheer] … v-twin motorcycles… Tim Russert’s haircut, trans-fats and the Jersey Shore… we love those things the way womenfolk love Matt Lauer. But over the past six years we’ve had to add to the American picture: rendition, illegal wiretapping, voter suppression, no habeus corpus, the neglect of our great city New Orleans and its people, an attack on the Constitution. And the loss of our young best men and women in a tragic war. This is a song about things that shouldn’t happen here—happening here.”

Remember, idiot Republicans wanted to use Born in the USA and Bush wanted to use Come Together as their theme songs, without a CLUE what the lyrics meant. They'll just figure ol Bruce likes rendition as much as apple pie.
Yep....We Can't Make It Here Anymore -

Others have reported problems posting youtube embeds. I found it didn't work if I copied the HTML from a past 4um posting but did work if I copied from youtube's site directly. Where did you get the code for your postings?
