I get most of my news from the Jon Stewart Daily Show. It's the most level commentary you can find. You have to laugh, because it's all so true. It's the closest thing to a counterculture.

Over The Counter Culture
Over the counterculture,
Well that's right where you belong,
You try to sever your ties with the London skies,
But you've got the whole thing wrong.
You try to be so different,
As does everybody else,
Create your own distinctions,
And flaunt them for yourself.
Over the counterculture
With your cards and catalogues,
The mainstream wipes the riverbed clean,
You're just wrong, you're just.... wrong
You think you followed your heart again,
Now it's in to be out,
Destroy the plans and just start again,
Don't pretend to not pretend at all.
Over the counterculture,
Well you live your life in waves,
Last years dream was a terrible scheme,
And this new fad will fade.
Let's see... what can we be now?
That hasn't been done before?
Shut your eyes,
Look inside.

Closest Thing To Heaven
28 days of rain
Flash floods in February
Back in our boats again
Bath water and the baby
What am I gonna do?
There's been a lot of drinking
Looking at ghosts of you
While all the world is sinking
10.000 miles into the atmosphere
My body shakes
Is there a welcome here?
Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it?
Closest thing to heaven, heaven
Throw your arms round the world
Make love your destination
Here we go boys and girls
Act like a generation
Give me that ball and chain
By now it must be hurting
Dragging your feet again
Just like a beast of burden
When one and one and one make two
I know I'm high because I've captured you,
yeah
Closest thing to heaven
Yeah, it's you
Closest thing to heaven, heaven
Look the world right in the eye
Eat the countries that are making billions
Sweet as homemade apple pie
Saved by crumbs for all the starving millions, yeah
Closest thing to heaven
Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it?
Closest thing to heaven
Uhh, hey
Closest thing to heaven

Angel In My Eyes
I watch her layin in bed asleep
Thank my lucky stars
For every second she's here with me
I wanna hold her in my arms
She is my day, She is my night
She is the breath that gives me life
But sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry
Sometimes we fight and we don't know why
But no matter what she believes in me
She's the closest thing to heaven I'll ever see
She'll always be an angel in my eyes
Sometimes I feel her by my side
Like she's watching over me
I get a chill running down my spine
And that's all the proof I need
But she fills my heart, She fills my soul
She is the half that makes me whole
Well sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry
Sometimes we fight and we don't know why
But no matter what she believes in me
She's the closest thing to heaven I'll ever see
She'll always be an angel in my eyes
Well sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry
Sometimes we fight and we don't know why
But no matter what she believes in me
She's the closest thing to heaven I'll ever see
She'll always be, she'll always be,
She'll always be an angel in my eyes

You can't get all of your news from Jon Stewart, especially since it's a comedy show.
Let's give the conventions back to the politicians. If we think there's any news, we can tack it on afterward as commentary. But the conventions should be their show, not ours.

Good News
Something to begin with
That's easy said than done
You'll see me rolling home
But I don't understand why
Still there's nothing at all
Time is on my side
But we mustn't let our disappointment show
But I will, and you will go on
All I need is some good news (some good news)
All I need is some good news (just some good news)
To put me on my feet (to put me on my feet)
To put me at my ease (at my ease)
All I need is some good news (all I need is some good news)
All I need is some good news (some good news)
To put me at my ease (to put me at my ease)

All I need is some good news (just gimme me some good news)
All I need is some good news (some good news)
To put me at my ease (to put me at my ease)
To put me on my feet (on my feet, on my feet)
All I need is some good news (all I need is some good news)
All I need is some good news (all I need is some good news)
All I need is some good news
All I need is some good news (all I need is good news)

Ill Be Level With You
Little guy, little hands, little eyes and lots of time
What you gonna be what you gonna see
When your eyes are level with mine
Ill be level with you
I dont know what I would do
If I had to face the things that youve got coming down the line
Lots of luck, lots of health, lots of wealth, little pain
Thats what I want for you but theres little I can do
To put you on the gravy train
Ill be level with you
Youll always end up coming through
But youll find yourself lost in space now and again
But you have to have a world you can live in
Not a world where all the hope is gone
And as long as we are here together
We must build a home for the free
Filled with pity
Not pain
Thats loving and sane
Not divided by hate
And living in spite
til its too late
Life is here
Love will come in the end give it time
Theres wonders still to do and I know youll find its true
That yours will be bigger than mine
Ill be level with you
The one thing I hope you will do is tell me about what
Youre doing from time to time

Say It Aint True
(rod stewart / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger)
Look at all the problems
That weve been through
How can you tell me
That theres somebody new
I dont believe that Im hearing this
I dont really think that youre serious
Well you picked a fine time to hesitate
See it my way Ive nothing left
You can take my heart but dont steal my pride
Think it over before Im pushed aside
And tell me
Say it aint true
Thats all you gotta do, baby
Say it aint true
Well I thought this one was bound to last
Together forever oh what a laugh
Its going to hurt when I set you free
Ive been loving you too long
Youre a part of me
So tell me
Say it aint true, tell me baby
Say it aint true
Put yourself in my place for a little while
Going out of fashion growing out of style
No one to laugh with nobody to share
No one to lean on nobody to care
Nothing left but a memory
I gave you my heart so stay with me
And tell me
Say it aint true
Say it aint true
Tell me baby
Say it aint true
I love you baby
I love you baby
I just want to do right by you honey
Wouldnt do you no wrong

Laugh
Love laughed at you and made you blue
Now heres what you should do
Well laugh, though your heart is breaking in two
Yeah laugh, dont let them know he hurt you
Well laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh
Laugh, though the one you love is really gone
Yeah laugh, even though youll be alone

Day After Day
Day Ill have to face the truth
I will
I know Ill find it hard to wake up
And say these words to you
So did the days drag on for you
Was I gone for too long
Theres something changing in me
Ive got to show it
Got to show you
Cause day after day without you
I find that theres no one to turn to
All this madness that Ive found
Im so thankful when youre around
Its true yes I do
In every place Ill face a world
Of strangers
Well talk and laugh about the good times
We had together
So did the days drag on for you
Was I gone for too long
Theres something changing in me
Ive got to show it
Got to show you
Cause day after day without you
I find that theres no one to turn to
All this madness that Ive found
Im so thankful when youre around
Cause day after day without you
I find that theres no one to turn to
All this madness that Ive found
Im so thankful when youre around
Its true yes I do
There are times when I see you
There are times when Im mad
When I wake you disappear
Thats what I always find so hard
Cause day after day without you
I find that theres no one to turn to
All this madness that Ive found
Im so thankful when youre around
Cause day after day without you
I find that theres no one to turn to
All this madness that Ive found
Im so thankful when youre around

I Will Always Need Your Love
In the book of my life
Till the day that it's through
You know most of the pages belong to you
Every interesting chapter
Every twist, every turn
You're my willing accomplice to the lessons
I've learned
Till the end of the story
I'll be riveted
And when I write my dedication I'll say
I will always need your love
Wish I could write it in the daily news
I will always need your love
It would be very hard to fill your shoes
I will always need your love
So many ways that I depend on you
I will always need your love
No one else, no one else, could love me like you
You know all of my faults
Every strengh, every quirk
You can dictate a handbook on the way that I work
Many towering hurdles
You've helped me climb
What was already great is even better with time
You've discovered each secret
Every fantasy
The only thing I really need you to see
I will always need your love
Wish I could write it in the daily news
I will always need your love
It would be very hard to fill your shoes
I will always need your love
So many ways that I depend on you
I will always need your love
No one else, no one else, could love me like you
I will always need your love
Wish I could write it in the daily news
I will always need your love
It would be very hard to fill your shoes
I will always need your love
So many ways that I depend on you
I will always need your love
No one else, no one else, no one else could love me like you
I will always need your love
I will always need your love
I will always need your love
...always need your love
I will always need your love
So many ways that I depend on you
I will always need your love
No one else, no one else, could love me like you
I will always need your love

To Me Youre Everything
Chorus:
Baby, baby, to me youre everything
Its just the love and joy that you bring
No one can take the place Ive given you
Ooh, girl, youre like an angel in disguise
You are the dream that never will die
cause, baby, to me youre everything
(ooh girl)
Youre my everything, oh yeah
Ive been thinking bout you lately
(show me, show me love)
And it just troubles my mind
(got my mind you)
cause the things you said
Right before you walked away
It brought so much pain (girl)
Ive been walking in these four walls
(thinkin about your love)
Trying to find my way out
(trying to find a way)
I got a picture of you
Deep inside my heart
And you know
Chorus
There is nothing like the real thing
(show me, show me love)
And girl Ill always be true
(always true to you)
Ive got no time to waste
I know there is no better place
Than right here with you
And yeah, youve got that thing
And I want it (and I want it)
And I know it by now (ooh, ooh)
Theres nothing I aint gonna do to you

Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered
[Rod Stewart]
After one whole quart of brandy
Like a daisy I awake
With no Bromo Seltzer handy,
I don't even shake.
[Cher]
Men are not a new sensation;
I've done pretty well, I think.
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again
Beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
[Rod Stewart]
Listen, baby
I couldn't sleep
And wouldn't sleep
Until I could sleep where I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
[Cher]
Lost my heart but what of it?
My mistake I agree.
[Rod Stewart]
Oh she's such a laugh, and I love it
Although the laugh's on me.
[Cher]
Oohh I'll sing to him
Bring springs to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Oh you're so cute
Oh she's kept enough, she's slept enough
And yet, where it counts she's adapt enough
[Cher] Aha
[Both]
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
[Cher]
When he talks he is seeking
Words to get off his chest.
[Rod Stewart]
Horizontally speaking
She's at her very best.
[Both]
Oh we've seen a lot
I mean a lot
And now we're like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Oh, we're vexed again
Perplexed again
Thank God we can't be over-sexed again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.
