I do not have a beard nor do I let my sideburns get too long because they come in white. That is not the same thing as dying them.

Hey! That’s Mack from _The Unit_ on one of those boxes!

I couldn’t let this pass without pedantic nit pick, it’s Emmylou Harris not Harrison.

My bad.

ETA: In my defense, she doesn’t need a surname. “Emmylou” accomplishes it on its own.

I know, [Kumbaya](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3MiD_U4CHQ) is one of my favorite songs of all time too. It is sad that that people can’t just look how they want all the time and not be judged by it.

Looking at it, I’m glad that link is broken.

She’s not **the little girl I once knew**. ( http: www. [- YouTube](http://youtube.com/watch?v=pZWFItQPf_k) ) Link broken. The youtube creator took considerable liberties with the song and Brian Wilson’s original intent. Still the video is clever.

The explanation of why I became a Teen Aged Republican was, “You see, there was this girl.” She’s still a blonde, at least as far as the camera can tell.
