The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsFor my 12,000 posting milestone (with a song)
I don't have anything profound to say.
I discovered DU back in 2010.
For two years I lurked. I read. I laughed. I shook my head in agreement. Sometimes I sighed in disbelief. I was here all the same.
I couldn't contemplate a DU handle for myself.
Finally on Nov. 6, 2012 the same night that Barack Obama won his presidential reelection. I registered to DU. I wasn't the only one, there's quite a few of us that registered to DU on Nov. 6, 2012.
I really didn't have anything to say until 2017. And here I am still rambling.
I don't have anything profound to say except that I've Got A Name.
Like the pine trees linin' the windin' road
I've got a name, I've got a name
Like the singin' bird and the croakin' toad
I've got a name, I've got a name
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But I'm livin' the dream that he kept hid
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by
Like the north wind whistlin' down the sky
I've got a song, I've got a song
Like the whirlpool whirl and the baby's cry
I've got a song, I've got a song
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by
And I'm gonna go there free
Like the fool I am and I'll always be
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
They can change their minds but they can't change me
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
Oh, I know I could share it if you'd want me too
If you're going my way, I'll go with you
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

John Mellancamp, meanwhile, put the ditty in Jack & Diane.
