a note on the election.

here's why i love the shuffle songs feature on my ipod - yesterday, the following songs came on in a row: father & son, cat stevens; dear mama, tupac; and daugters, john mayer. ok, i made the last one up - i have no john mayer on my pod - but the first two did happen. that wily shuffle; it's full o' cute surprises!

i am now holding out hope that i will one day be graced with a permutation of father & son, dear mama, the dead's uncle john's band and bill withers's grandma's hands playing consecutively. what can i say; the shuffle leads me on like a vegas slot that just showed me two cherries and a yarmulke. and in the way of reaching for the superduper jackpot, i am considering adding the following tracks to the pod: danzig's mother, sister sledge's we are family, floyd's mother, peebo bryson's sleeping with my cousin, madonna's papa don't preach, dylan's oh, sister, tim mcgraw's the ass of a stepmom, fleetwood mac's oh daddy, the nixons's sister, and frank sinatra's lesser-known a squirrel ate my parents (they never tasted that good). man there's a lot of great family songs.
