Citizen Cope
Late Saturday evening I was dozing off to Saturday Night Live when a Pontiac commercial caught my attention. A song was delighting my ears while yet one more stupid hunk of metal on four wheels glistened across my 27" tube.
Remembering that I have a computer and access to the largest library of half-correct information in the world, also known as the Internet, I leapt from the couch and logged into Google, where I punched in Pontiac G6 Coupe Song. Sure enough, within seconds, I had my link.
From Pontiac’s website, I quickly learned that a band called Citizen Cope, led by the guy who technically *is* Citizen Cope, Clarence Greenwood, released this tune back in aught-four.
The song is called Son’s Gonna Rise and is quite good on a number of levels. After purchasing it from Apple's iTunes Music Store, I was playing it over and over in my Sony Pro headphones and emailing everyone I knew to take a listen from Citizen Cope’s website.
