Flea Market Family: Today is the most important day in the history of election in the United States. I hope all of you who were registered, went out and voted. It is our right as United States citizens to exercise this right to vote. Many people have given their life so we can do this, and I respect that. In my personal opinion, things have to change in this country. With recent economic and a list of other problems, our country needs this change. For me, Barack Obama is the choice to implement this very change. I’ve been waiting to drop this nugget I got out at the Spot for some time. I’m not going to get into heavy details, as I feel that this song is enough at the most important time in our Presidential history. Change must come. It will, and I am excited to be alive when it did. I believe that Sam Cooke’s voice, and “A Change Is Gonna Come” from 1965 on RCA Records is very appropriate in these times. Although Cooke died in a shroud of mystery (shot to death in a seedy hotel in 1964), this was released posthumously, and remains one of his best songs. Initially, the socially conscious Cooke wrote this for the Civil Rights movement, but as I said previously, I believe at this momentous time in our history, it relates to our current state of affairs. Here’s to a change. Keep Diggin’!
If only Sam could’ve lived to see the vision in his song played out…Regardless, I know he’s smiling now.
