On a more serious note: I just caught the end of al-Gore’s speech, after which the convention organisers started playing the 60s anthem “Let the Sun Shine In.” There’s a certain obscenity in playing that song while in the streets outside the flag-bestooned arena, the true heirs of the 60s are being herded and arrested.
… not to mention the horror invoked by that song in everyone who’s ever seen the film version of Hair. Ugh!
I kind of liked the film version of Hair.
