I would suggest .. if you are so inclined ..
to go to LimeWire (music site)
and download the song POWER written by Johanna Hall
(the wife of John Hall from Hall & Oates)
and performed at the No Nukes concert
with the Doobie Brothers
and many others including
sweet baby James Taylor
and Carly Simon
daughter of Simon of Simom & Shuster fame.
(John and Johanna Hall)
[Chorus:]
Just give me the warm power of the sun
Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.
Just give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
But please take all of your atomic poison power away.
Everybody needs some power I'm told
To shield them from the darkness and the cold
Some may see a way to take control when it's bought and sold.
I know that lives are at stake
Yours and mine and our descendants in time.
There's so much to gain, so much to lose
Everyone of us has to choose.
[Chorus]
We are only now beginning to see
How delicate the balance of nature can be
The limits of her ways have been defined
and we've crossed that line.
Some don't even care or know that we'll pay
But we have seen the face of death in our day.
There's so little time to change our ways
If only we together can say
[Chorus]
All of your atomic poison power
All of your atomic poison power
Away.

Wicked, you need to change your name to WickedUninformed, or WickedClueless or WickedUnawareOfHistoricallyImportantNames. Just because you're seven years old doesn't mean that you get a pass for not knowing who Carly Simon is, and you deserve to go to bed without dinner for not knowing who Walter Cronkite is.
Um...wasn't it Darryl Hall (the one everyone remembers) and John Oates (the guy who looked like an Oak Ridge Boy/porn reject)? They were one of my favorite groups from the 80s.
I think we have some mixed up names here.

Some people's kids!
I think I'm more inclined to change my name to that one if anything.
I told you though that I already knew who Walter Cronkite was. I'm just a little shady on Carly Simon because I didn't grow up in the 60's
