One Man's Soundrack of the R3VOLution
Today is a perfect time to stop and reflect on where we've been, how far we've come, and where we're going. It's been amazing to see so many people come together and accomplish such great things for so noble a cause. In honor of that, I'd like to share some of my favorite songs with everyone. This is my soundtrack of the r3VOLution. It is, to me, the story of the r3VOLution, set to music. Enjoy!
(I've linked to all the songs in Rhapsody. If you don't have a subscription, you can listen to up to 25 songs free, I believe.)

I originally tried to post this New Year's Eve (hence the Auld Lang Syne's at the end) with links to each song, small quotes from each song, and a little commentary explaining the progression of the soundtrack, but it must have been too long because it got flagged as possible spam and never got posted. I just let it go, but being so fired up (read: fightin' mad) after last night, I thought I'd share some of my favorite r3VOLutionary songs with my compatriots.

I can't view your list
here are some off of my list...
1. La Revolucion - by Ugly Duckling
2. Waiting at the Gate - by Woody Guthrie (I see it as sort of a metaphor for Iraq)
3. Radio Radio - by Elvis Costello
4. Television Television - by OK Go (these two sum up my feelings on the media pretty well
5. How Low? - by Jose Gonzalez (good summary of the other Rep. candidates)
o and of course The Revolution will not be Televised - by Gil Scott Heron
Those are 6 of my favorites
