Hugh Hewitt Borrows From Ronnie James Dio?

One of the frustrations of blogging is that if you come at something with a unique perspective, it is quite likely that no one else cares. So I will have to content myself with the linkage between the narrative lyrics from the Rainbow song "Stargazer" off the album "Rainbow Rising" and how Hugh Hewitt of "Romney Rising" blogging fame must have felt watching Mitt Romney suspend his campaign.

For those not into 1970's metal, "Stargazer" is an epic tune narrated by one of many slaves who spent nearly a decade constructing a tower for a powerful wizard. The wizard plans to demonstrate his power by climbing to the top of the tower and flying. Unfortunately for the wizard, he steps off the tower, crashes to earth and is killed. You can see how I would see this as a metaphor for the Romney campaign. The narrater feels empty, since he spent a good part of his life doing the backbreaking work to prove the wizards greatness. And that's how our good friend Hugh fits in.

I‘m Hugh, oh, I'd sell my soul for Romney
Nine months worth of breakin' my back
There's no doubt he’s an economic wizard
Olympic heights, he made big money there

I see Romney’s face
The man’s a star, he’ll go far, he’ll go far, he’ll go far
A Mormon in DC?
I believe, yes, I believe
In the primary campaign against John McCain
In the polls he’ll fly, he's the only guy
I wrote a powerful tome with my flesh and bone
to glorify that guy, and I wouldn't lie
Now where do I go

Campaigns moving fast across the southeast
We feel Romney’s time has arrived
My show spins while we state his case together
A flawless campaign to take him straight to the sky

I see Romney’s face
The man’s a star, he’ll go far, he’ll go far, he’ll go far
A Mormon in DC?
I believe, yes, I believe
In the primary campaign against John McCain
In the polls he’ll fly, he's the only guy
I wrote a powerful tome with my flesh and bone
to glorify that guy, and I wouldn't lie
Now where do I go

All eyes see the figure of the Mitt Romney
As he climbs to the CPAC podium
No sound as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still then there's blood on the stage

I see Romney’s face
Where was you star, was it far, was it far?
Why did Mitt leave?
I believed, I believed
In the primary campaign against John McCain
To see him fly my credibility died
I wrote a powerful tome with my flesh and bone
to glorify the guy but why
Did John McCain with under-funded campaign
Just destroy my guy, who I thought would fly
Look at my flesh and bone, now look, look, look, look
Look at my master tome
I thought Romney was rising, victory on the horizon
Dean will do my show, do my show, do my show
Time is standing still
He gave me back, my will, oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home, I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding and my heart is weeping
We still hope, oh
Mitt come back, he gave me back my will, oh, oh, oh, oh
Going home, I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding and my heart is weeping
Back to my home, oh, o
