With all the airport restrictions & the like, "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere"
might not seem appropriate either. Yet maybe it *is* appropriate in a
defiant sorta way. See, a lot of these songs can be colored to expose
different shades of meaning.

You might be the lone dissenting voice on this one, Bjorn. Unless Pete
nixes it, I think they're gonna play WGFA. It almost seems necessary.
About a week ago I recited some of WGFA's lyrics to my coworkers
(must be a blast working with me) & they were truly impressed by the
words & imagery as it related to the current situation.

Yeah, that one has an uplifting feel to it.

No. Hopefully they won't "waste" a song by choosing that.

TKAA might get played but the other two listed above are long shots.

WGFA would take care of the "angry & frustrated spirit." But I'm still
not sure about "After the Fire." To me, that song leans more towards the
themes of age & failed romance; the fire being passion's fire.
Also, someone said it was a waste of time deliberating this matter but
I disagree. I'm sure TED are going to give it more thought than us.
