The Power's In One

 

I don't know about any of you, but I am so over the election. The closer we get to The Day, the more the nonsense, the b.s., the overly dramatic falsehoods and out right lies become. You want a conspiracy, try that one on for size - make things so ridiculous that people throw their hands up in disgust, proclaiming "I don't care, I just want it to end!" When people don't care anymore, that's when democracy ends; so don't give up, keep caring. The power's in one.

Anyway, it is good to escape it all which, of course, is one of the things bicycling is especially good at - escape! Just you, the bike, the trail.

"I am anger under pressure

Left in cages, a prisoner, the first to escape

I am wicked, I am legion

Strength in numbers, a lie

The number is one

I, I, I

Everything that I see is for me

Yes, I am giant, I'm a monster

Breaking windows in houses, buildings of glass

Rebel, rebel, holy outlaw

Ride together, don't try it

The power's in one..."

(Dio, Iommi, Butler)

I would be hard pressed to name a favorite Black Sabbath song, but 1992s "I" with Ronnie James Dio slinging the vocals would certainly be one to consider.

seen better days
