I was listening to Space Radio this morning on the way into the office and Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World” began playing… It’s a very poignant song and one of my favorites in their catalog along with “Save a Prayer”, but the bridge really stood out:
Papers in the roadside Tell of suffering and greed Fear today, forgot tomorrow Ooh, here besides the news Of holy war and holy need Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
Another song from yesteryear that fits even better in {current year}. Just replace ‘papers in the roadside’ with ‘headlines on the TV’ and the song could be referencing CNN this morning…
