Waking Ear

the Beatles/"Revolution" -- Because it's that kind of day. And to top it all off, whenever I hear it, I think of Nike. (No, I don't want to get into the whole "should legitimate artists be in commercials?" debate. It's really up to the artist or the artist's family if they're gone. But it really shouldn't be up to Michael Jackson, no matter how legal his ownership of the song is.)

Anyway, I woke up from a horrible nightmare that terrorists had attacked Seattle and killed scores of people, way more than in New York. In the dream, I was in Seattle. I got on the Web and went to Yahoo, and the terrorists had taken it over, filling it with scores of diatribes about how god was going to smite the Americans and stuff. I must have some latent emotion tied this whole Sept. 11 event that I hadn't realized.

"But when you talk about destruction/Don't you know you can count me out" (or "count me in," depending on which version you prefer).
