my brain stumbles onto "key words" that will drop like a coin into the slot, and the song plays
You guys remember jukeboxes, right? the things that used to stand against the wall in nearly every pizza place, and while you're waiting for your meal to come, you could get up and drop a quarter, (or two) in, and hear a song of your choice, from the ones available? It was sorta like an I-Pod on "shuffle," except every person in the crowd had a chance to add to it...
Or am I showing my advanced age (again)?
Anyway, I sometimes think of myself as a "human jukebox."
This morning, I was thinking about progress, for myself, on this story that's been brewing in my head for close to a decade and a half, and as a society, as we're stumbling toward health care reform, financial reform, energy policy reform, etc., etc.. And how Progressives are growing disappointed with Obama, because he's not as Progressive as we want him to be. And I thought: well, it may be two steps forward, one step back (and three steps sideways), but at least there are steps foreward.
And the coin dropped. And this song, from the new version of The Electric Company has been playing on a loop ever since. And I don't want to be singing it alone, so I'm sharing ("Old School and New School on the dance floor" also reminds me of my Doctor Who fandom, right now):
