theme song: Hello, Goodbye

I wasn't really moved by most of the last week at The Late Show. I do, however, like when Stephen Colbert answered the same questionnaire that he asked of many guests over the years. I think it was supposed to be a 20-minute skit, but this fond farewell ended up being nearly an hour long.

Today's theme song is meaningful because it's a direct product of this Republican administration and these troubling times. This video clip is a twofer. The first song itself would have been a great ending for Stephen Colbert's 11 years at The Late Show. Then it continues on to something even more profound. It reminds me very much of the Minnesota response to fascist abuse. As one of the comments on this video says, "This kind of felt more like a moment in history than a television show."

It's a simple lesson: "Don't lose yourself. Remember who you are and what your strength can do."
