You Look So Good is a tribute to The 1995 Million Man March. In Million Man March Prayer, Khalim asks God to "Glorify Yourself in the Million Men, and the 144,000, and all those who choose freedom over tyranny, right over wrong, and to be called Your Chosen, in these Days of Judgment. Show that those who are called Babylon, the Great (or the Great Satan), are not great; but rather, those oppressors are low forms of life, and will be put where they belong." On 8/4/1999, Khalim discovered that he is the reincarnation of Thomas Jefferson. So, it is intriguing to read his Declaration of The United People of The United States," written in 1995. Then, he described it as ..".Jeffersonian and Lincolnesque, and in tone, like our first Declaration of Independence, detailing the satanic and communistic evil of this current government. It concludes, "IT IS OUR RIGHT! IT IS OUR DUTY TO THROW OFF this present intrusive, parasitic, ineffective, and oppressive government by those princes in rebellion against God.

Moorhead is a real-life person with real-life reactions to MS -- she fights back when people attack her for parking in the handicapped spot even though she looks normal and she faces life with humour that will lift the spirits and encourage others fighting the disease.
