Since folks are probably already listening to "Because the Night" on repeat, I just want to put out there my possibly blasphemous opinion that (with all due respect to Patti Smith) Natalie Merchant did it better.

Natalie Merchant, Michael Stipe, "To Sir with Love," "Candy Everybody Wants"
It's the briefest of episodes in American history, and at its start, Natalie Merchant twirls joyous and radiant in the perfect dress.
Shot at the MTV Inaugural Ball in January 1993, she and Michael Stipe, both at the apex of their trajectories, the cool king and queen of the prom, sing and dance like champagne was in their veins, making even the acerbic "Candy" sound like an effervescent love song.
It was in the air. I was in D.C. at that time, and the city could not have been more ebullient. The election of Bill Clinton brought 12 ruinous years of Reagan-Bush to an end, and everyone was so very happy for the future. Two young couples—the first Boomers, before that became a slam, to occupy the highest positions in the nation—who brought fresh air into government and the country. The "America's Reunion on the Mall" pre-inaugural concerts had tents featuring all kinds of music. The biggest names in music came to D.C. to celebrate Clinton's victory. Michael Jackson performed. Fleetwood Mac reunited just to sing "Don't Stop," the Clinton-Gore campaign song.
We were all so optimistic.
Then, two years later, the "Republican Revolution" in the midterm elections flipped the House to the GOP—and, really, the worst elements of the GOP, as moderate Republicans ran to the exits soon thereafter—and ensured that Clinton would face the no-compromise politics that would come to mark GOP intransigence for the next 30 years and counting. And then Clinton shot himself in both feet by preying on Monica Lewinsky and lying about it with the most weaselworded legalistic doublespeak I'd ever heard a president utter.
And that was that.
Galvanized "values voters" turned out en masse for Dubya in '00 and made what should've been a slam dunk for Al Gore the tight race that was finally called in Bush v. Gore, setting up everything that ensued from January 2001 forward in the de facto Cheney administration.
So, watch the video above as that evanescent soap-bubble moment when Hope, Clinton's hometown in Arkansas, was very much an apt name for the mood in this country.

Aileen wuornos got her wish when she was executed by lethal injection at the age of 46 on October 9, 2002. Aileen last word was I would just like to say I’m sailing with the rock and I’ll be backLike independence day! with Jesus on a big mothership and I will be back.
Aileen loved to listen to the Nathalie Merchant song carnival

Graham Nash is 2023 John Lennon Real Love Award Winner
- “This is a very special award,” Nash says
Graham Nash is the 2023 John Lennon Real Love award winner.
Nash will receive the honor and play his favorite Beatles/Lennon songs at the 43rd-annual John Lennon Tribute Dec. 2 in New York. Rosanne Cash, Rita Coolidge, Marc Cohn, Shawn Colvin, Judy Collins and Bettye LaVette are among the other scheduled performers.
“This is a very special award,” Nash said in a statement.
“I thank Yoko (Ono) and the Theatre Within for thinking of me. Over many years, I watched John and Yoko fight the good fight for many whose voices were not being heard, a fight that Yoko continues to this day. I’m proud to be associated with the many fine artists who were previously honored with the … award.”
Those artists include Cash, Joan Osborne, Ani DiFranco, Natalie Merchant, Donovan and others.
Proceeds from the event benefit Theatre Within’s programs for elementary and middle schools, youth in crisis and people affected by cancer.
“Theatre Within is furthering the vision that John and I shared for a better world,” Ono said in a statement.
