Stairway to Heaven

Heart, et. al

And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

I was just scouring the interwebs for this, should have known I’d find it right there on my tumblr dash. 

This was incredible. 

I had a moment, right when they announced Heart, where I knew that if my dad were alive, we would be watching this together. And he would be loving every second. He would comment on Ann’s voice, and tell me again some story about being high and listening to Zepplin. I would reminisce to him about how he used to play Stairway to Heaven on the guitar when I was little, and I would read the words along out of the song book.  We would laugh about how I was a three year old who knew every word of the seven minute song. 

Watching tonight, I had an overwhelming and unbearable urge to pick up the phone and call him…to tell him what I was watching.  To say to him “you would love it.”  

Instead I just sat and listened, eyes closed, tears streaming down my face.   

This is a stunner. It’s like you just listened to the song for the first time. Which is all the more impressive because you’ve heard it a million times.

You Go Girl! - Women's Vote Determined Presidential Win For The First Time

WASHINGTON — Sorry, fellas, but President Barack Obama’s re-election makes it official: Women can overrule men at the ballot box.

For the first time in research dating to 1952, a presidential candidate whom men chose decisively – Republican Mitt Romney – lost. More women voted for the other guy.

It’s surprising it didn’t happen sooner because women have been voting in larger numbers than men for almost three decades, exit polls show.

But men, who make up less than half the U.S. population, always have exercised power greater than their numbers and they aren’t about to stop now.

When it comes to elections, males as a group are more influential because they show less party loyalty than women, who skew Democratic.

Despite all the focus on candidates courting Hispanics or the working class, men are the nation’s ultimate swing voters; they’re why Republican George W. Bush became president and Republican John McCain didn’t.

Their move away from Obama this year expanded the voting “gender gap.” It wasn’t enough to determine the outcome, but came close.

So presidential hopefuls staring into the gender gap in 2016 might want to look beyond the usual controversies over “women’s issues” such as abortion or the polling fads such as “Wal-Mart moms.” Maybe it’s time to pause and consider the fickle male. Maybe it’s time to ask, “What do men want?”

In the voting booth, that is.
