LA Times: California Gov. Jerry Brown had a song stuck in his head, and he wanted to hear it. Standing outside a conference center shortly after giving a speech on climate change, he asked for someone to play it on their phone. And when the refrain arrived, he sang along to the Barry McGuire tune from 1965 -- "We`re on the eve of destruction." "We have a theme song!" said Nancy McFadden, the governor`s top aide.
