If Obama’s looking for inspiration, there’s always the Hollies

The papers and blogs are chock full o’ nuts with columnists giving advice to Barack Obama about what he should say in his Inaugural address Tuesday at high noon. The Washignton Post even has a piece entitled “What Obama can learn from Moses.” Didn’t Martin Luther King already use the Moses theme in a big speech?
Well, yours truly has been thinking about what Obama can use as inspiration, and I’ve come up with something that fits nicely with Obama’s “we’re all in this together” theme.
It’s a song by the The Hollies.. That’s right. Obama can inspire the multitudes with words built around this theme:
“It’s a long, long road, From which there is no return,
While we’re on the way, to there, why not share?
And the load doesn’t weigh me down, at all,
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.”
