Hi there. I’m sorry it’s been so long. I have written a couple of drafts and never posted them, so in my mind I have submitted something. One of them was a list of everything we’ve read so far in book club. I’ll post that eventually.

Today I’m a little ticked that one of my favorite Vietnam protest songs “Sunshine” by Jonathan Edwards (not to be confused with the 18th century theologian or the North Carolina Senator) is being used to peddle Jeeps. The commercial cuts it down to a chipper beach ditty to which the Jeep travels through time. The version below is the real song though the video is probably not what Mr. Edwards envisioned either. There’s also live version on youtube, but Reese really liked this one. (Between Will and Reese, we have at least half of these toys!) The dirty laundry and the homework lend authenticity too. To be honest, this is the video I would have made when I was 12. (If I had been born 25 years later, that is.)

Sunshine Stuffed Animal Video

I've always though it was a good song for the feminist movement.
