THERE'S A SIGN POST - AND A SONG LYRIC - UP AHEAD

Around 8:20 or so, a track from the group Sugarland was played at the Democratic National Convention, just before Stevie Wonder was introduced.

And this telecentric line jumped out at me:

"I was a gypsy lost in the Twilight Zone."

I'm always amazed by how pervasive the inluence of Rod Serling's classic is!

I'm watching the convention on CSPAN, of course. Any member of the tele-cognoscenti should be in order to get the full effect. The talking heads of CNN (for me) can wait until tomorrow - they'll only be spouting the same stuff then anyway. After the convention is over, I'll flip over to 'The Daily Show' for their take on last night's coverage.

BCnU!
