Over the weekend, I was moved to change the lyrics of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" to honor Cindy Sheehan's vigil (and to connect it with the pink rose campaign we just launched at CODEPINK). You can read the resulting song here (where you can also send your message of support to Cindy.) I haven't written in rhyme in a long time--I tried to stick with the rhyme scheme of the original song; it took me back to my childhood, when I used to change the lyrics of songs to make them more subversive (Frosty the Snowman ended up running around with a machine gun in one of them! The pink rose lyrics are pretty much the antithesis to that one!) It looks like some ultra cool things may be happening with the song; I'll keep you updated...
