Usually, when Obama finishes a speech, Stevie Wonder’s Sign, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours is played afterward.  It’s a great big hug to the room.  Now, I’m just blown away.  Logged onto the Senators rally in Denver and  McFadden and Whitehead’s  Ain’t No Stopping Us Now was playing.

There’ve been so many things that have held us down
But now it looks like things are finally comin’ around, yeah
I know we’ve got a long long way to go, yeah
And where we’ll end up
I don’t know
But we won’t let nothing hold us back
We gonna get ourselves together
We gonna polish up our act, yeah
And if you’ve ever been held down before
I know that you refuse to be held down any more, yeah yeah
Don’t you let nothing, nothing
Nothing stand in your way
And all we gonna do
I want you to listen, listen (That’s right)
To every word I say
Every word I say about it

Talk about a theme song.  Every time someone told me I couldn’t or shouldn’t do something, I sang this  song to myself:

It then switched to Stevie Wonder’s Higher Ground.  I swear he’s playing the soundtrack of my youth.

Bleeeh…it switched to some frat-rock song and the kids were like “turn it off!”
