Ok, Roger Daltrey is on record sayting this song is about his disillusionment with the hippie generation, politicians two faced promises, and more of the same.
So what better song for Herman Cain, the new revolution, anti-political candidate? A vote for anyone else? Meet the new Boss, same as the old Boss.
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
Change it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fall that's all
But the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?
There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Time for a new new Boss.

GEORGIA TECH!
ok, am a tech fan - I went there. so every year I'm used to this - "we're going to be good as hell this year, wheeee!" but then something happens and I cry. This year tho....too crazy. when we're on we're ON. We were unstoppable tonight against Clemson (#5, undefeated till now).
I blame our lack of national championship this year on the BS schedule we had the first 6 weeks. you can't let a bunch of kids play powder-puffs for that long and not expect them to slack off.
But they got ehir but whooped a few weeks, straightened them out! :) ACC champs again I think this year at least!

An Emergency for Herman Cain (an open letter)
(foreword)
Let me preface this by saying I've been on the Cain Train since he ran for Senate. I called in to his show to encourage him to run for president. I was elated when they said on the radio he had quit radio (sortof) and had formed an exploratory committee. I was ecstatic when they announced he had scheduled a mystery rally at Centennial Park. Herman's my man. But...(/forward)
Dear Mr Cain,
As a business man, you know you have to have the best management available to you to succeed. Up untill now, you have done very well with what you've had to work with, but things are changing fast. You have been noticed, and nearly everyone thinks you have a real shot at being the next President of the United States of America. It's time to take things to the next level.
I have nothing against Mr Block myself. I think he's done a fine job so far, with what he's had to work with. Slim budgets are difficult. But then, if I had to guess, that is why you hired him - slim budgets. Please don't forget that.
As you know, sometimes changes have to be made. When you can afford to hire a more qualified employee who demands a higher salary, you do so, if it benefits the company. This is that time. I've heard you talk to Neal about the resumes that have crossed your desk. I think even some of the best of them out there would even work on contingency - deffer salary until they can get those contributions REALLY flowing. Because they believe in you too. You just need the right help.
I'm sure you've given this advice a thousand times - don't let loyalty get in the way of success. Friends and family are friends and family, but business is business.
One of the things that separates you from the other candidates is your business background, and that works for you to deal with the media in this situation. Rick Perry fires his campaign manager, and they will all shout "Perry's campaign is falling apart! Run horribly! etc etc!" If you change management, you're just "Entering a new phase. Building up the strongest team possible. etc etc."
Even a shadow campaign manager would work. Just someone to crank things up a notch beyond dumb youtube videos.
If you read this, thank you for taking the time to do so, and I hope you take my advice. I have more where that came from, and will be posting it here soon ;)
Thank you,
roland
