Audio Postcard: Fired Up Bush


Colin tries to blend in at a Bush rally in Memphis, 2005

While procrastinating this evening I went back into my old audio folders and came across this funny/moderately creepy clip that I had almost forgotten about. I recorded it at the end of my sophomore year spring break, when our french fry-strewn rental van of friends arrived in Memphis for what we thought was going to be quiet night of ribs at the Rendezvous. To our surprise, then-President George W. Bush was also making an appearance in town that evening. A fired-up crowd was gathering downtown, so we decided to join them and wait for his motorcade.
