Glad you're here! Yeah - everybody's pretty doggone stoked about what happened this morning in Charleston! I sang along while watching it, when the crowd started in with "na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey-hey-hey, GOOO-ood-BYE!!!" Reminded me of watching the first Obama inaugural - including the coverage of the bushes leaving Washington DC - at long last. And the crowd sang that song THEN, too, as the helicopter rose into the air to haul their sorry asses back to Texas. And I sang along then, too! GREAT memory! GREAT song!
