Hold Your Head Up

This song from 1972 was going through my head today, for no apparent reason. Could this song be responsible for the famously unshakeable self-confidence of baby boomers like George W. Bush and Dick Cheney? If so, should Rod Argent and the band hang their heads in shame?

Nah. Bush and Cheney didn’t need encouragement. Most of the rest of us do.

Hold your head high.

Yeah, me neither.
