Frihetens gåva

Strax efter klockan 12 lokal tid, den 20 januari, svor Barack Obama eden. Sista passagen ur installationstalet:

America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.

Talet i sin helhet kan ses här. Passagen ovan cirka 20:30 in i videon.

Hit that lick

Ett par musiktips för att göra vintern lite varmare:

• Mexikanska Control Machete:s enormt feta re-make av Eminem & Dre:s 'Guilty Conscious'. Svår att hitta, men brukar dyka upp på Limewire.
  
• Rodrigo Pencheff, aka Rigo aka Rodde, albumet Soundclash (2006). Albumet kan köpas här för 119 kr. På CDON, som numer ägnar sig åt annat än musik...
