Jim Page has written a ballad called I'd Rather Be Dancing, subtitled above. It's more hypnotic than musical, but the video that he or somebody tacked onto it is powerful.

Maybe I just could not catch the words. He mumbles. No matter, at the end I found myself fixed in my seat staring vacantly at the monitor, stunned by a  moral sledgehammer to my soul, our complicity in that bulldozer. Getting on this Ides of March, it occurs that upon watching the video Vashon might forget its sushi and high school football long enough to take a long hard look at the moral squeeze we are in. Vashon could make a difference, not only here, but nationally by taking and defending a position of accountability for barbarism in our name. Clumsy words but I hope you get the idea.
