"I'm rather sick of watching people die because of these lies. Darfur, Chechnya, Iraq, Palestine, etc, etc... I don't know what to do about it. But the first thing I am going to do is stop being afraid to call out the liars. Label me an anti-Semite, anti-Muslim, anti-Russian, anti-American. I Don't Care. Then I'm going to raise my standards. If the Jews, Muslims, Christians and Hindus down the freaking street can live in peace, the rest of the world has no fucking excuse. None." http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/7/16/233441/101"BAGHDAD, Iraq - Gunmen kidnapped the chairman of Iraq’s Olympic committee and at least 30 others Saturday in a brazen daylight raid on a sports conference in the heart of Baghdad.

What did we do it for? Is this the world we invaded, against the law? So it seems in the end, Is this what we're all living for today? The world that we created You know that every day a helpless child is born Who needs some loving care inside a happy home Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne Waiting for life to go by Is this the world we created? We made it on our own Is this the world we devastated, right to the bone? If there's a God in the sky looking down What can he think of what we've done To the world that He created? --------------------- "Former President George Bush and his wife, Barbara, were among the mourners Wednesday at the funeral of Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay.

Thank you for taking the time to put this list together. I visited most of the links (although DailyKos is down right now) and enjoyed the lyrics. It felt like a forum version of "Democracy Now!".  I've also added Crooks and Liars to my list of pages I will visit daily. ~Ulrika~

From: Richie Waves Would it be to earlie to say the World is Fucked? It's never too early. Large groups of people sold all their worldly belongings and stood on hills to await the end of times on Jan 1, 1000. I guess they'd still be waiting if they hadn't croaked. |

ooohhhh ty
been a strange week, all around - feeling frustrated in more ways than usual, lol listening to old punk, watching the world burn, and hearing person after person talking like schoolchildren - "they started it!" "no, -they- started it! waaaahhhh..."
don't think peace, don't talk peace... don't get peace.
and then, strange to come across those two lyrics... both thanks to my kick-ass county public library and their large collection of music/live concert dv's. 'live aid 1985' - omg, i'd forgotten how much hairspray was used in the eighties...
but - o.m.G, sooo worth watching just for live queen. freddy was such a performer, so comfortable in front of a viewing audience of millions - was it even billion(s) as geldof quips once? amazing. i wish the whole thing had just been one huge queen show...

I tend to like anyone that quotes Rush lyrics. "They shoot without shame In the name of a piece of dirt For a change of accent Or the color of your shirt Better the pride that resides In a citizen of the world Than the pride that divides When a colorful rag is unfurled" From the song - "Territories" Album = "Power Windows" Hopefully all this long distance electronic relationship development and cultural exchange will some day help future humans call themselves "citizens of the world"! Rush = def smart rock. |

Rush
07-17-2006 16:21
http://www.rush.comA rock band that started in the late 70's I read that they're original inspiration was Led Zeppelin. Yet especially with the addition of Neil Peart who is the drummer and incredible lyricist, they did a series of albums with lyrics that gave them a loosely interpreted monikor of "smart rock" by the average intelligence masses. Having said that, how do I insert a clickable link in either my post or my sig?

You have to remember I am an old fart lol!!! well, so am i now and so is rush now, too! incredibly professional musicians... not everybody's cup of proverbial tea, by a long shot. but the 'r30' live concert dvd is quite fun, if you're looking for your first exposure. i now wish i'd caught that tour... and don't miss on the second disc an old clip of them performing 'la villa stragianto' - i think maybe one of the finest pieces ever to fuse art/prog-rock, arena rock and jazz fusion...

CCR was from Cali but got thier style for "swamp music" which is why I call them "Southern Fried Rock" as for the Skynard fans young and old. They are currently on tour with 3 Doors Down. *glances at tickets* even though roughly half the band is dead and gone, they still kick ass.

(well, the hookers weren't in his nose i can hear bill hicks screaming from his grave, "fuck freebird!!" - but i guess this time, calls for the song would be justified. are ya gonna yell for it? i once went with a friend on a free ticket to see the alman bros. at an outdoor ampitheater - a fine, smokey, relaxing night of southern jamrock under the stars... wow, that rush site is kewl - love the 'fan reviews'... "As we walked further I caught a glimpse of Neil's drumset and I felt my heart skip a beat. I stared at the set, the magnificent gold plating glowed in contrast to the deep, dark shells." hehehe!!
