Crystal Green Ramblings

So I'm sitting at work listening to the oldies station, and the thought occurs to me: Just exactly what the heck IS "crystal blue persuasion" anyway? Is it inherently better than crystal lime green persuasion? Could Dubya use it to convince the world that he should be allowed to do whatever he feels like doing? Does it explain why North Korea can kidnap people and operate a nuclear program in violation of their agreements with the US, but we'd rather bomb Iraq and merely negotiate with North Korea?

Then again, this is a song from the same guys who sang "Crimson and Clover, Over and Over" and apparently thought they were saying something deep and meaningful. So maybe they were just spaced-out hippies who thought that colors were beautiful and should be included in song titles.

( In any case, I don't think I'll attempt to channel Dave Barry tonight )
