Seems like an appropriate song today. There are some audio glitches in this, but this is a version I haven't heard before; I like the way they weave the tale of comfort and safety into the song.
The Tokens' performance on the Dick Clark Show, the version that first became a hit when Kennedy was a newly-minted Senator, is embedding-disabled, but here's the link.
This metaphor, the lion as the one that was trying to keep us safe, comfortable and healthy, has really got me teared up.

Those Kennedy cartoons over at Kos got me crying yesterday. Especially the one of a young Jack, Joseph and Bobby welcoming an old Ted with a cane abord the sailboat.
