This is our time to shine and I believe if John Lennon and Martin Luther King were alive today they would have been speaking tonight.

Lennon? He wasn't a US citizen and might have been perceived as too countercultural (which wouldn't bother me, but might bother some).

| 4. Lennon would have been 64 this October |
|
he probably wouldn't seem counterculture now, but be a baby boomer icon. And I can see the baby boomers running the show trying to get him there to sing "Imagine".
Maybe they'll sing it yet - they had someone sing "Blowin' in the Wind" tonight.

on what JLs behavior would have been between 1980 and now. He was full of surprises. I suspect those lyrics about "imagine there's no countries" and "no religion too" would nix Imagine in the current climate.

| 6. King would kick ass IF (too bad ifs don't occur) |
|
Can you imagine King addressing the Convention reminising about the days Republicans want to go back to:
sicking police dogs on black americans.
guardsmen shooting into a crowd of anti-war protesters.
KKK ruling the south with an iron and brutal hand.
how elequent to hear: "In the 1960's I spoke of a dream of a better America, today we have this nightmare that is America. It is time to struggle back to the mountain top. It is time to rekindle the dream of a united America, a safer America a better America."
This can only be done with John Kerry and John Edwards.
