FANZINE

Listening to NPR this morning, heard a profile which seemed to be about Barack Obama, and the Sex Pistols were playing in the background of an Obama speech—the intro to “Pretty Vacant.” The thought crept in, well if change is what this campaign is about, that’s quite a smidgen more radical than the Clinton’s Fleetwood Mac theme song for the ’92 election. (Personally, well, that’s “cool,” but maybe not the best idea to win over those “swing states”.)

But listening further, it was the 40th anniversary of Bobby Kennedy’s assasination that was the focus of the story, and there were of course again comparisons to Kennedy’s campaign and Obama’s.

And the Sex Pistols thing… the song was there as a nifty snippet simply forshadowing the next story on “Punk Rope,” the newest fitness craze. Jumping rope to punk music that is… See here at punkrope.com.

So what should the official Obama theme song be? Is there one? Any thoughts?

Oh, and apparently Clinton is to officially concede this Saturday.
