THE I-POD AGE

Usually I am not the first to buy and use technological innovations; I wait till the use of the device is more common practice and the prices have gone down. In San Francisco I bought my first I-pod at the Apple Store in Stockton Street. I am now downloading music of my CDs at home on to the I-pod and I came across some beautiful CDs and songs I almost forgot. Although John Legend is sometimes getting too "sweet", this song always touches my heart. I have downloaded the song not to glorify the US-Army (although the video might suggest otherwise); armies do not need glorification, they are unfortunately a necessary evil. We could read "coming home" as not the coming home of the individual soldier, but of the whole army. Impressive song !

The video did not open after downloading; therefore the link to youtube.com:
