Just a song in Normal entries

I was at a friends house the other night. She was scrolling through cable stations for the low light the screen would shed. She had hit the music channels and there was a short blurb about the frontman from Black Uhuru. They used to play Portland often. I had a twinge of sentimentality before other twinges, the stuff life is made of. My kids and I would sing this song on the way to third and second grade, respectively --- what? I got held back a grade.
