Has anyone seen "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" movie. In it,
Charles Durning sings a little political song which reminds me of what
I just got done reading. Its called " The Sidestep" and the tune goes
something like this;

"Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
cut a little swathe and lead the people on."

If one didn’t instinctively know this than I would suggest your radar needs resetting – big time!

I loved the way Durning could turn into the hat on his head at just the right time to make his point in that song! Too funny!

One of the best descriptions I ever heard of politicians was years ago when singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot (remember him? one of my all-time favorites) was being interviewed. He said, "Politicians are like bananas. They hang around in bunches, they're yellow, and there's not a straight one among 'em!" ...Now I hope that's not true, but it's still funny!

"Endless Wire" and "Sundown" are still two of my favorites.
