    Crash Test Dummies, Superman's Song
    (Brad Roberts)

    Sometimes when Supe was stoppin' crimes
    I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit
    And turn his back on man
    Join Tarzan in the forest
    But he stayed in the city
    Kept on changin' clothes
    In dirty old phone booths 'til his work was through
    [...]

    Thanks for showing up, and with such a fine song. I invited Zod and Rachel, but they were busy talking on aapc. So I'll put on Zod's link that inspired me.

    Hi Rachel...

    Laurie Anderson - O Superman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkfpi2H8tOE
    my first thought, "sorry, i'm not gay."

    but then i was like, oh, just open it, and i looked for a sec.

    my second thought, "sorry, i'm not gay."
    Ehh...?

    Nice to hear again. You inspired me to open a "Superman" SND - on rap. I didn't use The Kinks; that's in case you want to post it there. Just me, for now; You're welcome to join. You too, Rachel.

    I'm glad you asked that on a Saturday, since it turned out to be "tomorrow's topic" - I just posted it. It's "Candy."

    Sad, really. I had the song in my head all Sat. morning, when I was working on the blogs, but I held off opening the SND links till they were done; then, while working on the politics one, I got thinking about an article I'm writing on., and ended up
    writing till I fell asleep.

    I'll try to get into the habit of posting the SND link first, before the blogs; two posts and it's done, and then others can add to the thread all day.
