- I'm really glad that our young people missed the Depression, and missed the great big war. But I do regret that they missed the leaders that I knew. Leaders who told us when things were tough, and that we would have to sacrifice, and these difficulties might last awhile. They didn't tell us things were hard for us because we were different, or isolated, or special interests. They brought us together and they gave us a sense of national purpose.
- Ann Richards, 1988 keynote address, Democratic National Convention

- Laurie Anderson, Sharkey's Night
- Well I was out in my four door
With the top down.

Millions of tiny teardrops
Just sort of hanging there
And I didn't know whether to laugh or cry
And I said to myself:
What next big sky? - Laurie Anderson, Strange Angels
- And Sharkey says: Deep in the heart of darkest America. Home of the brave. He says: Listen to my heart beat.
- Laurie Anderson, Sharkey's Night
