What a slacker I am. But alas, life's busy. I have, however, found time to watch and mostly enjoy the Democratic National Convention. Michelle Obama and Hillary both rocked the house on their respective nights. I liked Kerry's speech. There've been others that were good.

It's been a good, except for the music. What's up with that, especially tonight? I was disturbed when shortly before President Clinton took the podium, I could hear Aretha Franklin's Chain of Fools. What???? Who??? I was a little slow to pick up that the so-called "chain of fools" was the Bush administration, something that had been touched on in the preceding speech. Still, not a wise music choice under the circumstances. Too subtle, by half.

And then came Bill. A decent, not great speech, followed by . . . Addicted to Love. Are you kidding me? Only the first verse played, stopping just short of "you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love." But that didn't stop the crowd from voicing the lyrics.

So, note to the DNC: you have four years to really give this music thing some thought.
