   So today we Californians have our primary election. Being a patriotic
   American, I woke myself early in order to study candidates and
   propositions before heading on down to the old-folks home which serves
   as a polling center...

   I know what you guys are wondering: what did he listen to on his way
   there? What song came on in the booth? Well hereâs a special Election
   day edition of the Tuesday (non-random) several:

   1) America (Santana) 2) Star Spangled Banner (Jimmie Hendrix live
   version) 3) American Tune (Paul Simon) 4) America, Fuck Yeah! (Team
   America Sound Track) 5) Back in the USSR (the Beatles)

   Man, when Jimmie came on and I was surrounded by old people and he
   hits the distortionâreminded me of what I was doing in there. Rock and
   Roll is the official music of Freedom; Jimmie playing the anthem tells
   you why. Iâve never experienced the pain and dissonance of ârocketsâ
   red glareâ quite like Hendrixâs tune. Then he holds it so long, so
   laboriously, so... wildlyâone begins to wonder if we ever will see our
   flag again...

   Anyway. Go vote. And if you bring your iPod, let me know what you
   play...

   often. I do post lots of stuff over there that never makes it here.
   Indeed, some of my best stuff stays over there...)
