Friday Night Music-Bob Dylan

Okay, I’ve always wanted to post these two songs. Bob Dylan again, but let’s face it, he deserves it.

Both of these songs are optimistic in their own way and, I hope, timely right now. The best my addled brain could come up with tonight to celebrate what may be the dawning of a new era.

I’ve always thought the Democrats could make use of music like this at their conventions, instead of the dreck and pablum (Stevie Wonder excepted) to which they subject the country every four years. There’s tons of music that could reinforce the Democratic message, and maybe keep the network talking heads quiet between speeches, assuming you could get big enough names to perform.
