Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads. Mark Warner gave a keynote speech that was vintage Warner: competent, moderate and tech savvy. He spent a good part of his speech arguing that this presidential election is about a candidate of the future vs. one of the past. But as Warner exited the stage, he was serenaded to an orchestral version of Huey Lewis' "Back in Time," from the Back to the Future soundtrack. One of the best movies ever, it is, of course, about going thirty years into the past.
The lyrics:
Tell me, doctor, where are we going this time
Is this the 50's, or 1999
All I wanted to do - was play my guitar and sing
So take me away, I don't mind
But you'd better promise me, I'll be back in time
Gotta get back in time
Don't bet your future, on one roll of the dice
Better remember, lightning never strikes twice
Please don't drive eighty eight, don't wanna be late again
So take me away, I don't mind
But you better promise me, I'll be back in time
Gotta get back in time
Gotta get back in time
Get me back in time
Gotta get back in time
Gotta get back in time
Get back, get back
Get back Marty
Gotta get back in time
Gotta get back in time
Get back, get back
Interesting Closing Music for Warner's Speech
