What’s got people thinking about Hillary’s run for president. Is it her stance on Iraq?
Her past membership on the Wal-Mart board of directors?
How about her dubious attempt to overhaul the health care system back in the day when Bill was the U.S. prez?
NO! People are wildy interested in her campaign theme song competition. As of yesterday, more than 100,000 votes have been registered on her Web Site. Hillary also has a funny video (running on YouTube) inviting people to choose among nine pre-selected songs, or e-mail an alternative suggestion.
Robert Barrows, a public relations executive from Buringame, Calif., who made an unsuccessful bid for Congress last year, saw Sunday’s column on this topic and contacted me via e-mail.
“I know a song she WON’T be using,” he wrote.
It’s called “Run for Office,” which Barrows composed in 1998.
“The song is not about Hillary.” he said. “It’s about politics in general”Click on “Barrows”:http://www.barrows.com/music.html. and you’ll get his Web Site. Look for the song title on the right side of his home page, and you can hear a sample.
Goes something like this:
“Get elected. Get respected. You even get yourself protected.
Which race is open? I’m ready to go! Toss in my hat and here comes the dough!”

I must confess to being inspired to submit this after witnessing first hand the talents of Mr.Betts and his band “Great Southern” on Tuesday night. Betts is a Rock & Roll Guitar God!
I got one for Big67…”Dirty Water” by the Standells, a classic.
Hmm, anyone heard this one before?
‘’H-I-double L-A-R-and-Y spells Hillary!
She’s the leader of a mighty nation!
Idolized by all the population!
H-I-double L-A-R-and-Y spells Hillary!
She’s the woman we adore,
and she’ll keep us out of war,
Hillary… And that’s me!’‘
Not bad. I’ll give it a 75 and you can dance to it too.
