Well, it’s “Lullaby” by The Cure. Do with that info what you will.
Johnny Cash was a Progressive, and strong advocate for social justice issues. He was a Christian certainly, but I still admire his guts when it came to trying to promote his song The Ballad of Ira Hayes.

Johnny Cash was a once-in-a-lifetime treasure.

Oops, Cash actually only covered The Ballad of Ira Hayes, it was actually written by Peter La Farge.
Sesame street really did kick some ass in the 70′s.
Being a recent connoisseur of Sesame Street, I can tell you that it’s pretty freaking awesome right now. The celebrity guests are ridiculous, they have spoofed SO MANY SHOWS (True Blood, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire…), and the lessons (both academic and social) are basically the same as you remember. They’ve also added some structure to the show that I don’t recall from when I growing up– they all start with a monster named Murray giving and defining the word of the day, then there’s the skit on The Street, then they have their word of the day explained by a muppet and a celebrity, then about halfway through there’s Abby’s Flying Fairy School and at the very end is an Elmo bit.
We have some DVDs of episodes from the early to mid- 2000s and those… weren’t as good. At all. Plus, that was the heyday of Elmo’s World which at it’s worst was creepy as shit. (“Can you guess what Elmo’s thinking about? That’s right, Elmo’s thinking about skin!”)
Sesame Street had ***shiny moments***.
The spider-man is having me for dinner tonight…
