I was just reading an article on the Washington Post website about former V.P. Al Gore. It seems that Gore had a “defeat party” in early 2001 after the Supreme Court slammed him. John Bon Jovi and Tom Petty were there, and Mr. Petty sang “I Won’t Back Down”. Nice, but it was too late for that song. If I were Gore, I would have had Bon Jovi modify the lyrics to one of his signature tunes: “Shot thru the heart, and you’re to blame, baby you give democracy a bad name”.
