So much for trying to post an image from an iPad.  Here's a link:

1/26 update:  WE WON!!!!!!   Mayor Joe bested Melrose Mayor Rob Dolan in the WFNX "My Song Is Better than Your Song" Battle of the Mayors (but by only eleven votes).  Thanks to everyone who voted -- and to those who helped me get the message out despite my hamfisted posting technique.  Next time -- and there WILL be one -- we must do even better.

Tom, did you intend to post some text here? Right now this post is totally blank.

(If you don't fix it in a few hours, I'll exercise my mod prerogative and delete it. Then you can try again with a new post.)

Not everyone on LJ uses Facebook, so some people here may not be able to read what Tom linked to. (Also, we have a few blind readers who cannot read a JPG at all.) I'll repost it here:

SOMERVILLE, WE NEED YOUR VOTES: On Thursday, Mayor Curtatone goes head to head with Mayor Dolan of Melrose in the My Song is Better than Your Song competition on WFNX 101.7 FM—and we need YOU, Somerville, to win.

Tune into FNX at 9am, Thurs., Jan. 26, to hear the absolutely gobsmacking good song chosen by OUR Mayor & the sad little tune picked by THEIR Mayor & then VOTE for Joe by 9:30 a.m. by Text, phone or by Facebook at WFNX Radio. Details in the flyer. We took on Cambridge and we’re coming for you, Melrose.

Oh God. As a Melrose native and current (6 year) Somerville resident, this is a heart-rending choice to make. Show me what you've got, music men!!

What is Mayor Joe's song? Is it available online? (For that matter, what was the Melrose mayor's song?)
