Walking around in some of the black neighborhoods of Cleveland I find myself thinking of this Crowded House song:
I’m not lying –
Or asking for anything –
I just want to be there.
Doing this kind of work – knocking on doors, most of which don’t get answered – you don’t feel terribly important. But that’s okay. You don’t want to be important – you just want to be there.

Congrats! You’re the first person ever to walk around a black neighborhood thinking of Crowded House!
Matt, you may well be right. On the other hand, I was impressed to find that one of my prospective voters was a massive Peter Frampton fan. He sang “Do You Feel Like I Do?” to me.
Sounds like a cool scene.
