“I Want to Hold Your Hand” The Beatles

“Oh, Pretty Woman” Roy Orbison

“Help!” The Beatles

“Monday, Monday” The Mamas & the Papas (very tough!)

“Cherish” The Association

“Light My Fire” The Doors

“Windy” The Association

“(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” Otis Redding

“People Got to Be Free” The Rascals

“Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In” The 5th Dimension

I can’t help but think that, with this process, we’re going to get to the end and everyone will say, “What?!? This is what we got!?”

Sort of like a Democrat presidential primary.
