Carol King just came to a party we had for our legislative
candidate in D6 Maricopa County Az! She gave a fabulous speech about not paying attention to the polls. She said she always continued to support Kerry when everyone said Dean would win. She has known him for years and said her support is unflagging and we will win! She led us all in a version of "You've Got a Friend' which is her song that she says best describes the campaign! I feel so much more energized now! Yay! Carol!

6. Your event sounded wonderful.
Unfortunately, I am a bit "tapped out" and unemployed to boot! But I hope you raised tons of money!

4. Carole King (she spells it with an 'e') has always been a favorite
Glad to hear that she's still around and 'active'! Your post made me think of one of my favorite songs of hers....Only Love is Real (lyrics are here)

As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire
Feeling the warmth as the flames grow higher
I think it's true that nothing
is really new under the sun

Watching a new love grow
from old love's embers
Yesterday's gone but today remembers
Doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone

(Chorus)
Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel

Only love is real

Childhood dreams like muddy waters
Flowing through me to my son and daughters
Everything I ever thought is confirmed as truth to me
Even as I see the way that I want to go now
Still I had wished I had known what I know now
Maybe I could have spared you
Giving your youth to me

(Chorus)
Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel

Only love is real
