Mary Gauthier - you've gotta check this out

[giant_robot]

While I was driving yesterday, I heard an interview with Mary Gauthier (pronounced go-SHAY). I really liked it, so I checked out her website, where you can watch her video for the song "Mercy Now". POWERFUL. You've gotta watch this.

"My church and my country
could use a little mercy now
as they sink into a poison pit
it's gonna take forever to climb out
they carry the weight of the faithful
who follow them down
I love my church and country
they could use some mercy now"

1. OK, one self-serving kick before I'm off to bed

I realize this isn't as light-hearted as most of the lounge posts of late, but it struck a deep chord in me and I just wanted to share it. I'll just let it sink gracefully now if nobody's interested.
