I was driving to work today and I started kicking around an idea in my head: an election season mixtape. The idea came up when I was listening to yet another boring (to me) report from the Democratic National Convention. My mind drifted off to presidential election campaign songs, and from there it was a quick jump to making my own election playlist.

Last night, my wife and I watched ‘Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken.” It was pretty awful, and yet we kept watching it despite the wooden acting, horrible script and molasses-slow pacing. Why? Because we had both watched and enjoyed the movie when we were much younger. It was sentimental to us because we remember watching it at ages before we knew how to recognize bad movies.
