Music Monday – "So much past/Inside my present"

Below is the video that introduced Ryan at the NDP convention last weekend.  I'm completely biased but Ryan easily had the best floor show of any of the candidates.  I hope someone also uploads his speech because it kicked ass too! 

And I can't help but take one last shot at Dwain Lingenfelter by observing that his convention video looked like an 80's corporate training video including, I swear to god, one person spinning and pointing at the camera in the most cheesy fashion imaginable!  He also used a Jack Semple instrumental track which was a cool nod to Saskatchewan except that the track he picked sounded like a 70's porno song (er, at least I suspect that's what 70's porno soundtracks sound like.  )   I didn't link to the actual Semple song he used above as I don't know the name of it – I just wanted to give you a sample of how talented Semple truly is.  In fact, he won a cross-Canada guitar competition which is where the clip I linked to is from.  Oh, and to top it off, Link used Bon Jovi's anthem, “Raise Your Hands” as his exit song.  Yep, nothing screams party renewal like head banging 80's glam bands!  Of course, I would've gone with “One More Time” by Streetheart for the Regina connection and the oh so appropriate title – but that's just me.)

Okay, that's it.  I'm introducing a moratorium on cuts on Dwain Lingenfelter now that I'm slowly coming around to the fact that he's the leader of the party I believe in and, as long as he does a reasonable job of reaching out to the supporters of other candidates on the left of the party, I won't be voting Green or Liberal in the next election.

Nothing but positivity from here on in!  Starting now…
