Back in 1951, a youthful crooner named Eddie Fisher topped the charts with a number known as Turn Back the Hands of Time. It was a lament for a time long gone. Here's the refrain:
Turn back the hands of time
Roll back the sands of time
Bring back the dream divine
Let's live it over again
Sixty-four years later, it's just as timely, unhip vibes notwithstanding. I can't imagine a more appropriate theme song for any and all events held on behalf of the Republican Party: fund-raisers, primary debates, even next year's convention in Cleveland. What could be more fitting in light of the Grand Old Party's retrograde priorities and values?
It's worth a listen. Without further ado, here's Eddie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kp-yN7KeFQ
