and one of the songs:
Dear Voters,
Don't let it happen again. Don't let it make us look at ourselves and say, 'I shouldn't have voted them back in.'
Don't just think of business but instead lay the groundwork for a better, more just government who can better guarantee a future for your children.

was watching Tony Bourdain's 'A Cook's Tour' and it was the French Laundry episode. never heard of that dining place before and that 20 minute show really blew my mind. chef Thomas Keller was really down to earth and creative in his menus. did abit of googling and in the end, i think i got to try out that place one day, although got to save up the USD240 for the 9 course tasting menu (not including 19% tax), which are actually really artistic signature pieces and you would finish in two mouths.
well, one more thing to do before i die...
