We are winners - don't act like less than that.

[Joe for Clark]

You were here when you had to be for our democracy and November will prove the fruit of the flower for all of us. It really is Karma.

What goes around comes around and all that.

Some strange act of nature (to be kind) brought about that painful 2000 result. And this result has caused the death and maiming of over 20,000 of our children and the psychological harm for an entire generation. Those were OUR kids, God damn it!!!

In a few months we can speak in a meaningful way.

And we will.

Tar and feather politics may get a whole new 21st century rebirth. I think it will.

But you hold your head up. You did the right thing - and that is what is important.

1. Uriah Heep..... hold your head up

And if its bad
Dont let it get you down
You can take it
And if it hurts
Dont let them see you cry
You can make it

Just hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high

Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high

And if they stare, just let them
Burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout, dont let it change
A thing that youre doing

Hold your head up ...

5. Yep, from the Zombies -

I read my post back and frankly, Blue Oyster Cult came to mind -

You know - "Don't fear the Reaper" -

What a sad commentary of these times.

You guys are cool though.

6. Argent was the group that popped into my head when I saw the

lyrics, but I looked up the title and got Uriah Heep, also.

By this time, Argent was touring successfully and building a loyal following, but still without a hit.

The situation was about to change, with the next album 'All Together Now'. At this period in the UK, it was considered unhip to release singles - if you were to be taken seriously, you had to be an 'album' band. Argent were due to embark on a big tour, and the idea was to promote the new album, which, incidentally, was being recorded at Abbey Road in an attempt to widen and deepen the group's sound. Unfortunately, however, the record was not yet finished. CBS (or Epic by now, to be accurate), screamed for something and the band agreed, not to a single release (too uncool), but an EP which would feature as the title track 'Hold Your Head Up', a six minute track containing a three minute organ solo.
