Oh for crying out loud

It's not kicking a man when he's down. Reagan never had a clue then (I doubt anyone ever pointed the misuse out to him), and he certainly isn't tuned in now, so it's not "kicking" anyone.

And please don't tell me that "meme" is the new "paradigm."

Sorry. It took a while for it to circulate through the music world.

I'm all for kicking a man when he's down, but this meme has about run its course.

I remember that well. No one in the Reagan administration had any sense of irony, though, so I doubt they were much bothered by it when someone clued them in.

Politicians are notoriously bad at interpreting lyrics. Anyone Reagan's campaign using Springsteen's Born in the USA as their campaign's theme song in the 1984 re-election?

Let's hope Don and Sharon Henley don't get so put out with some of the political campaigns out in Sacramento that they decide they'll have to raise the room rates at the "Hotel California."

Oh great, now I'm going to have that awful song stuck in my head all day. Thanks Ryan. Thanks a lot.
