When Ralph Stanley Took My Breath Away


I REMEMBER
coming down the Shenandoah Valley when this spot came on the radio.

I’d been passing big round bales with the Obama logo painted on their end, and when this spot came on, I had to pull over. I don’t think I cried, but I sure as hell was having a hard time breathing. Ralph Stanley for Barack Obama. Jesus, it was going to happen.
