I'll have to admit to being a little put off when public officials start proclaiming this and commending that to all the citizens. No offence, Governor Pat, but I can take care of my animals just fine without help from the state. I suppose pompous high minded stuff like this gets brownie points from a spouse back at the Governor's Mansion, and I reckon this is supposed to show a kinder gentler profile of the GOP that is meant to bridge the gap with our liberal friends and show we are actually warm and cuddly like those busybody liberal snakes. Well, whatever.
Stan, on the other hand I enjoyed the blasts from the past: "Eric Burden and The Animals" and Eric Burden and War." They also did a great rendition of "Tobacco Road" as well as a laundry list of others. I've got one for the Governor or any other professing to be conservative politician: "It's My Life." I would recommend politicians listen very carefully to the refrain: "It's my life and I'll do what I want." I might also add some extra lines like, "it's my life and I'll do what I want if the government will just get out of the dag gum way and concentrate on constitutional duties and stop imposing the state in our business!" "The Animals": Timeless. |

Oh yeah, I loved the "The Animals", especially when I was nearing my teenage years. I'm with you on this one Gov.
I will always consider their version of the traditional "House of the Rising Sun" as one of the better ones, and who could ever forget "Don't let me be Misunderstood"(?) - www.youtube.com - and ... Later Eric Burden doing "Spill the Wine" with "War"... www.youtube.com And yes, I still thought well of "The Animals". |

Small cities rarely make headlines. Their struggles - fiscal mismanagement, leadership vacuums, the slow erosion of public trust - play out in school gymnasiums and wood-paneled council chambers, witnessed by a handful of residents and largely ignored by the world outside.
