“The vote for change tour is a wake-up call. We may alienate some fans over this. I don’t like that – I prefer to have music stand apart from political feelings. But this is so important, it’s worth it. If I piss a few people off, good. Because, frankly, I’m scared. Unlike a lot of political issues, this is literally life or death. Kerry understands how the world works, in a way that Bush does not. When Bush ran the first time, I realized something: I want my president to be smarter than I am. I don’t ask much, but I want him to be smarter than me.”
~ Mike Mills, R.E.M.
For a smarter president.

Off topic: Cora Rónai estará em Florianópolis na próxima semana, participando de um congresso. Achas que seria interessante nos reunirmos com ela e mais quem vier, pra conversar um pouco?
Sim, claro. Só que ele não me conhece, acho que nunca ouviu falar. Tu és amigo e referencia aqui pra ela, se não me engano, tu és o cara. Mas estou dentro.
