And: Well, I don't have much to say. I did love watching all of those people dance to "Sweet Home Chicago" and "You're Love Is Lifting Me Higher" at Grant Park before the speech. Nice speech too, great use of quotes, compact and powerful.

It's crazy the way this moment activates and recasts the history of the last 40 or so years.

Cates on video

Ok, so since i've brought the Cate Brothers up a few times here, I thought I'd post these videos that I found on Youtube. The first one is from an AETN performance. it's the newest lineup of the band, but the song,"Start All Over Again" is an oldie. There's a version on one of the two Cates Gang albums, from 1970, and another one on the second Asylum album, In One Eye and Out The Other in 1976.


and here is a video montage that some dude ("Music Mike" put to Union Man, from the 1975 self-titled LP. I psted some thoughts awhile back regarding this song, whether it;s anti-or pro union. I hold by my revised take: that it's about a southern working man putting aside years of previously held predjudices and facing the fact that he can't face down the bosses by himself.
