Slice of Life Day # 13: Goin' to Church

Tonight I worshiped at the Church of Mellencamp. It was a night of as much feeling as hearing. The wailing guitars, the sometimes-unrelenting drums... My chest throbbed with the vibrations. One of his song's lyrics has a refrain that goes like this: "And the walls, come tumbling down And the walls, come crumbling down And the walls, come rumbling tumbling down" At one point--earlier in the concert--John Mellencamp shouted out that it was time to end "all this bigotry bull-$@#&" and given all the divisiveness in our country, it did not surprise me when he changed some of the choruses to sing about THE WALL coming down. Or was it just my wishful thinking?
