04. Meet the New Boss. Same as the Old Boss

04. "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who

Best song about the absolute futility of politics EVER. And the best part of the song is the primal scream at the end followed by the line, "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." The truth of this lyric was brought home to me back in my 90s teaching days by my good friend, Angie Dorman, when I was complaining to her about how a new school district administrator had just committed the same stupid mistake as the former administrator. Her reply was "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." Since the day she said that, this song has played in my mind every time I've seen a change in leadership, whether it be at work, at church, or in politics at the local, state, or national levels. I've learned to not put my faith in any of them. Otherwise, I'm just setting myself up to be fooled again.
