We Can Change The World: Tito Jackson for Boston City Council

In Boston's city-wide elections this year, the mayor's race is locked tight with four-time incumbent Thomas M. "Stands for Mumbles" Menino holding some ungodly lead that The Boston Irish Reporter referred to as "once-in-a-century" type guy. On the other hand, there's an "at large" race that's way up in the air--and guess who's runnin' a pony in that one? Tito muddafukkin Jackson, that's who!

OK, it's not who you're thinking it is. It's not the "quiet one" that wasn't allowed to play guitar on "I Want You Back", or the one with the headache-inducing Flash-site. It's a totally different dude--same name, different dude. Since Tito-at-Large was born in 1975, I'm going to guess that there was some Motown influence in his nomenclature. Just a guess. That's what I would do if my last name was Jackson. Then again I also considered naming my hypothetical first born "Moscar Buyer" before the wife put the kaibosh on that one.

From my brief research, Tito-at-Large looks like an impressive candidate with a solid resume of community outreach and youth development work. He also was a history major at University of New Hampshire, which means he can probably funnel beers like a champ. And even though the opinion of some weirdo music writer in Nashville won't go a long way anywhere--never mind in Boston politics--I'd like to endorse Tito Jackson for Boston City Council. If only for the awesome name.

Oh, and if anybody can score me Sox ticket for the Fourth of July, I'll say nice things about your band some time.

(HT to my cousin Andrew.)
