Old School Friday: A Brand New Day!

I feel like I’ve been on the longest roller-coaster ride of my life…I can only imagine what President-elect Obama and Soon-To-Be First Lady Michelle feel like (damn I liked typing that!).

I consider myself a writer, so I should be able to put into words how I felt when that image scrolled across my screen announcing that That One had won the election…but I can’t. I don’t think I ever will be able to describe my emotions. But this song instantly started playing in my head…

OK…I like the pictures on this one, but it cuts off at the end…

Nice choice, it is a Brand New Day! Great photo montage!

Mornin' Marvalus!

My wife was singing that song all evening after the results came in, and I kinda suspected this was gonna be one of the major hits for OSF. And you definitely can't find a better, more appropriate choice.

Happy OSF!

I think that song is perfectly fitting for what history has been made this week. You picked a winner. We all did, actually.

Great one girl! And I've always loved that song...

btw, I tagged you to put up your movie a to z list. now you can do a post that you already did, just cut and paste your comment and relax :-)

Those were prefect choice Miss Marvelous. I'm just happy that we didn't have to change the theme to "Why We're Moving to Another Country".

This week has been a time of new beginnings AND sad goodbyes for me, because, as our nation prepares for new hope and a new President, I had to say farewell to a friend I had for my whole adult life.

Please stop by and help me honor both our first African American President and a dear and unique woman that I shall miss terribly:

A Brand New Day and a Rock and Roll Goodbye to a Friend

Great choice! Watching the first video and listening to the words of that song, almost made me choke up again. Love it!! Happy OSF!

YES WE DID!!!

A very sophisticated pick and very appropriate for the occasion.

Very fitting. :smile: Love your choice.

I love this song and the outcome of Tuesday night!

The Wiz is quite appropriate not just the lyrics, but the dancing. I feel like tap dancing. Dancing on the furniture, and everything else. On point!

Happy OSF! The song from The Wiz is remarkable!

'Thank God It's Over' is the theme. I invite your blog readers to check out 'Right Now (We Need One Another' if they have time or inclinaton. This song had its debut earlier this week on Oprah. Come check it out!

peace, Villager
