Good tune by Paula Cole....
'My Hero, Mr. President'
Not exactly new, but definitely worth a listen.

Paula's Thoughts On "My Hero, Mr. President!"Hi everyone,
I just wanted to bring some light as to why I posted the song. It's just a home demo; not an album track. I wrote it originally because I needed to get those feelings off my chest: I literally needed to write "My Hero, Mr. President!" in order to unblock my writing process, and let the other songs behind it flow. Also, I was supposed to do a benefit for Rock For Choice (which never happened) and I wrote the song for my appearance there. And so I sit in my silence... Harboring these songs...I knew "My Hero..." was relevant only NOW, so I put it up on the site: I didn't even tell Warner Brothers. It probably won't be a single. Who knows, maybe it won't even make the album(?)... I simply thought it should be heard by people who care. I was curious, too, about your thoughts. There are no designs! This song is aberrant from the rest of the material. Most of the songs are confessional stories; emotional; melodic. I can't wait to finish up the album and be out there again making music. I miss it so!
All good things,
paula.
Thanks to B3 reader Aristophanes for the link. Maybe I should start a 'relevant music' page here...
