Summer Skin by Death Cab For Cutie
Sarah Palin delivered an amazing speech last night at the Republican convention. I thought it sent a message to the Democrats that she along with McCain will be formidable opponents. Whether it is enough to get them into the White House, I doubt it but it should be interesting. Personally my views are more Liberal and run closer to those of a Democrat but I am a Canadian and therefore it doesn't matter. Though it does matter here and like other Canadians we will get our say October 14. Hopefully it is more of a Liberal say than is currently being expected. We cannot let Harper get a majority, no matter how flawed a leader Dion is. NDP leader Jack Layton today said he is going to be the Obama of the north. Yeah right Jack, keep dreaming, you are white and an Canadian NDP. Below is an opinion article on Palin's speech last night from the New York Times.

Carmelita by Warren Zevon
Below is a link to some of the rare interview given by David Letterman to Rolling Stone magazine. I have enjoyed watching Letterman for the last 17 years or so and I will be sad when he does retire. Sure his show isn't as funny as some or as relevant as it used to be. Perhaps his time has came and gone but every weeknight he is around to listen to and my life is better for this. What he has done for music cannot be underestimated, his choice of guests has made for some memorable performances and given some lesser known artists a bigger audience.

Below are the last clips of one of those lesser known artists, the great and late Warren Zevon.

I wrote the following tonight.
A Thief In The Dusk Of A Changing Season
My unspoken expectations falter
After her pearl smile disappears
Nothing meant for me lasts long
I steal its beauty and wreck it
Unintentionally but factual
My history has made me regret
Loving or believing anyone
Who could never reciprocate
Despite their best intentions
Much is unknown between hearts
Great novels have been written
Their stories are famously loved
But still love remains mysterious
Seemingly random until it is found
Allowing us to use words like fate
Romance cannot be a coincidence
This would be a sin in many minds
Tainting their love with randomness
Ignorant to our existence as molecules
Applying science to relationships is wrong
Surely their heads would be shaking
Should I say they can easily fall in love
With almost anyone in certain circumstances
Assuming you are ready and looking
When summer begins to cool and dissipate
Leaving peeled skin under manicured nails
All she is unaware of taking from you
Everything else she knows she has stolen
A thief in the dusk of a changing season
Escaping under the light of a September moon
Only hours after Labour Day has ended
A well executed plan of freedom from me
Loving a mistake is acceptable during summer
But as autumn’s colours begin to show
The truth begins to show its unacceptability
Making a smile less wide and less pearly
Intentionally and factually gone
Much like my history of being loved.
