A Walk In the Sun

In the post-election glow it only seems appropriate to highlight one of my favorite African American performers in this week’s Weekly Wog. Like Barack Obama, Stevie Wonder exudes warmth and cool simultaneously. He sings outrageously catchy tunes that can carry either an upbeat message of pure spiritual possession, sound a warning to those in political power, or plumb the depths of his feelings without getting maudlin or trite. Like Obama, he’s crossed the racial divide with grace and style. This wog won’t wear you out—it’s got only 3 minutes of light jogging in it—but I can’t think of a better way to lift your heart. It’s a brand new day, folks!

Weekly Wog SNAFU: Unfortunately an unexpected problem with my server kept the proper Weekly Wog REGIME CHANGE from being displayed earlier. It’s working now, but for Stevie Wonder, not Regime Change. However, you can still view Regime Change! Honest!
