Hope

May 15th, 2009 · by map · View Comments

This is not a political blog.

I’m not talking about that most fragile of all kinds of hope, the kind that you put in a man to end the appalling policies of his predecessor on unlawful detention and torture. I’m talking about that larger hope, that hope that the next generation — and all generations thereafter — are going to somehow be OK. This video feeds that larger hope; I hope it does for you, too.

    Kim, I'd wager Ozzy himself isn't sure how to spell his name from one day to the next. My dad had an LP of Sabbath's first album, on which Mr. Osbourne was listed as "Ossie." So....

    dear god - i spelled ozzy's name incorrectly. ignominy. *kim disappears in a puff*
  • For some reason I expected Ozzy to speak Japanese. Or some sort of rock god gibberish that they might share. He did seem very lucid.

    And yes, there's hope for the world if today's kids are worshipping Ozzy.

    By the by, Hope is a nice name. Not that this is a political blog. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Hell, we considered Darwin for our kid who was going to grow up in Kansas.

    i was at an appt. at UIHC with my younger sister the morning he was on ellen, and it was a blast to watch him. ozzie actually looked like he was more alive than dead - perhaps the lad gave him some hope, too?
