RIBS TPTD: Barack Obama, President-elect - The “Happy” Mix…
Man, oh man, what an historic and exhilarating week it has been with the election of Barack Obama as the first person of African-American descent to be President of the United States of America.
Wow!
The flood of feelings and emotions that have been washing over me is way, way too immense to even try and verbalize them. And anyway, I express myself so much better and more eloquently with my music as opposed to my words and/or writing.
This week’s RIBS TPTD mix is dedicated with great pride to President-elect Barack Obama (man it feels good to write THOSE words, President-elect Barack Obama, Whoo!) and to the beautiful new First Family that will soon take up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I many ways I would like you to think of this mix as part 2 of the fantastic OSW mix that the “PodFather”, EJ Flavors, posted on Wednesday. I had the pleasure and honor of suggesting a few songs for that one but kept enough to myself so I could continue the great vibe over here on RIBS.
I’m calling this one “The ‘Happy’ Mix” as the majority of the songs have the word happy somewhere in the title. The word happy and the word change are the two words that I keep coming back to as I think about the results of the election this past Tuesday night. Change, of course, is the wonderful message/theme of the Obama campaign that brings us all hope for a brighter future for this country after the darkness of the past eight years of the current administration. And Happy because, well, as a person of color in this world that is tired of divisiveness and who hopes that we all can just get along, if the election of Barack Obama doesn’t make you happy then I just don’t know what to say to ya! {smile}
Soooo, sit back, be HAPPY and… “Congratulations, President-elect Barack Obama!”
