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.

This one’s a bit more obscure, but it’s one of my personal favorites. I was hoping to find the Chieftain’s version from the Dylan Tribute Concert, because I think their version is better than Dylan’s, but couldn’t find it. The Hour That The Ship Comes In

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.
