46 - And It's Easy to Ignore

Today is election day in America.  So today's post takes that into account.  Nothing takes the fun out of Autumn like campaign ads.  Thank goodness I don't really watch TV on TV.  The few things I see on-line are bad enough, I don't care who the candidate is.  Enough already.

It ends tomorrow.

I'm not going to preach about doing your civic duty.  Personally, I'm not happy with any of the choices.  And don't get me started on the whole electoral college thing,  cause that's never going to make sense for me.

So, let's take a listen...

Song 46
        "Leaders of the Free World" from the Leaders of the Free World album by Elbow.

I'm not going to say what this song is about.  Clearly there is some meat behind what he is singing about.  And some heat.  The thing that gets me the most is the chorus:

But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it's easy to ignore
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes

 Indeed.

This song itself isn't particularly connect to Autumn for me in anyway.  I just knew I wanted to use it on Election day.  So no profoundity from me today.   Just a song, that to me, is kinda smacking these folks in the face with a limp wet fish.

grace, peace + hope
