Good Man.
Well. Funny story. It wasn't ever about the politics-- I was
too young to know anything about that stuff.
Its about a fond memory of my grandparents' home, actually.
We'd go there on holiday, and my grandfather used to have a little television on in the kitchen, every morning. Always with the sound off.
Most of the time it was Larry King that he had on in the background. The little CNN logo in the bottom right corner stuck with me, coupled with the smell of percolated coffee in the cold morning air.
Same reason I went on to associate the smell of tobacco with the comforting presence of spending time with my grand dad on the stoep.
That, and his perpetually full cup of black coffee. Regardless of the temperature.
So, its not about politics, at all for me. As you can tell.
Then, one day, it dawned on me, exactly what CNN was. Unfortunately, its not something I'd associate with shitty partisan politics right off the bat.
Rather, it reminds me of time spent with my grandparents as a child. Some of the happiest memories I've ever had the pleasure of making.
