So, thank you for taking some of your time to join us here at Liberal Democrat Voice today. Perhaps because I don’t take politics quite as seriously as some, I’m minded to end the day on a more relaxed note. So, in a nod to today’s Transgender Day of Remembrance, here’s a US band called “Cab Ride Home”, with lead singer Danica Roem, the first out transgender person to be elected and successfully take up her seat in a State Assembly.
The quote, again for the benefit of our slightly younger readers, is from “Hill Street Blues”, a U.S. police drama series from the 1980s. And maybe, just maybe, if we were a bit more careful out there, we might have a slightly better society. Just a thought…

I think the first appearance of thrash metal on these hallowed pages should not pass un-remarked upon 🙂
I never got to the end of the track – but Mark – you’re right about the Hill Street Blues quote.
And here’s the original – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmg86CRBBtw – fr anyone too young to have seen it.
@ OnceALibDem,
I have to admit, it’s not really my cup of tea – where is the viola, for example? – but I understand that it has a following… 😉
This was from the first sergeant as he finished his start of shift briefing which formed a feature of most episodes – Sergeant Phil Esterhaus (Michael Conrad)
Sadly, actor Michael Conrad died suddenly during the run of the show; Esterhaus’ similar death was written into the show and he was replaced by Serg. Stan Jablonsky, who had a different final line.

I, for one, welcome this new musical policy on LDV
I must be getting old, there was a time this was my cup of tea now I prefer Dowland
@MarkValladares “where is the viola, for example?”
Ah, you want Symphonic metal, then? 🙂
@ Frankie,
A commenter after my own heart, I see. I think that I might have to make a habit of the musical interlude. Readers should feel to suggest pieces once I’ve got a theme chosen.
@ Daniel,
Symphonic metal? Gosh, you do learn some things here at LDV. I’m clearly going to have to try some of that…
