Because I’m married to “that guy in Lambchop,” I maintain their website and have a Google Alert tagged for the band so that I can keep up with their news stories and blog posts. This morning I came across an entry featuring the band’s song Up with People (Zero 7 Remix). I thought I knew what the song was about but the meaning has now been redefined. In light of what’s happening today in Mexico, I’d say it’s been changed for the better.

Are you listening to the things the children aren’t saying out loud…yet?
Are the children singing songs to themselves?
If you wrote your own lyrics, what story would your song tell?
What song is the Bush administration singing?
And if government officials fail to provide protection, doesn’t that make them enemies of our collective future?
Remind me to bring him a treat when we go to lunch!
The Boyfriend was kinda starstruck when we all went out to dinner that time. He, like, LOVES Lambchop.
