I was 16 when this song was released, just after the death of Bobby Kennedy. I was a student volunteer working for the Kennedy presidential election campaign in my hometown when Bobby was killed. This song brought me to tears when I first heard it, and still provokes powerful feelings about what might have been, had these great men been allowed to live...
EVERYBODY cheats. Whether it's on a diet, on your taxes, on your spouse or lover... the list is endless. I'm waiting until the verdict is in before I condemn anyone. I believe the coach when he says he didn't know - he looked sincere. Was it an over-zealous employee? Could be. Were the footballs possibly measured wrong by an official to begin with? Could be.
Judging someone before all of the facts are known is wrong. Period. Just because someone has done something wrong before does not mean they are wrong now. We shall see.
Like I said... everybody cheats. The whole issue sounds like sour grapes to me. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
Food for thought:

When my mind pleasantly wanders through time to another place with different attitudes.

Last night I had two rather odd, funny dreams.
In the first, cats were eating dry Puppy Chow... couldn't keep them away from it. This is true. I have seen cats eat dry dog food. The odd part was that no matter how much they were shooed away, they kept running back for more. lol
In the second, I was standing in line, then at the checkout at Target. For some strange reason I was trying to buy a small bottle of hairspray (?). The checkout girl kept turning around waiting on other customers. When she finally deemed to wait on me, the bottle of hairspray was gone and she turned back to waiting on other customers. This pissed me off, so I walked over to customer service to file a complaint. The lady handed me a BUNCH of forms to fill out. Fuck this, I said and walked out into the sunshine outside. Then I woke up.
All I had to eat before bed last night as a snack was a Mounds bar and an orange... I just might do that again tonight!
