Couldn’t in good conscience play the X version of this song, as Exene Cervenka is a total libertarian twit. So, the Dave Alvin version, instead.
Enjoy the rest of the 4th, Obots!

All. Of. This. You don’t have to grow up in the same neighborhood as another Black person. There are some experiences that are just woven into your Black DNA. It’s beautiful. Black Twitter is MAGIC
What's amazing about #cookoutnewsnetwork: I didn't grow up with any of you, and yet we all have a shared experience. That's culture.

Joe Biden For President
Â
I met @VP when I was 11. I've struggled with a stutter my entire life. He told me stuttering does not define me http://t.co/YogAObd57v

Campbell Parker (@_campbell_36) July 03, 2015As I have grown, @VP has become a true a mentor. Allowing me to visit him in DC and giving me encouraging phone calls http://t.co/wfJzmDRDO5

Campbell Parker (@_campbell_36) July 03, 2015****
Vice President Joe Biden is AMAZING. Why? Because he has heart. He cares so much for people. He doesn’t care how many zeros you have have behind your name. He cares about you as a person. For VP Biden, people are not abstract. People matter. Their hopes matter. Their disappointments matter. Their failures matter. Their obstacles matter. Their dreams matter. Their futures matter. How blessed we are to live in a country where we can proudly say, Joe Biden is Vice President of the United States of America

Thanks for always believing in me @VP http://t.co/wNSVoGt547
