Friday Jukebox Is Another Attempt To Musicalise The Zeitgeist

...Or to be honest, I finally found a performance clip of Ingrid Peters singing Afrika, and tried to shoehorn it into current events.

Although, to be honest, the song does come across as a prime example of what Edward Said was taking about and applying it to Africa...a continent with a plethora of countries and cultures.

Just today, while doing some errands, a white man came up to me and said--with no malice whatsoever on his face--that I must be happy with the election, and noted that he voted for Obama.

I pointed out to him that as Americans, all of us should be happy.

How I love Ozaukee County Naivete.

Anyway, sing Ingrid.
