Music for listening.

Hey!

Sat front row listening to The Who ... literally was deaf for hours after that.

Puts a smile on my face everytime I hear this. Gallows humor hits the spot for me when I'm exasperated with the state of the world.

I really enjoyed this, you are very talented. Thank you. It seems to suit my mood of the day.

Could not figure out how to send my double thanks via PM, so here it is.

Hello Moonlight ... go to top right of your page and you will see "private messages", click on it and you will get to the somewhat funky messaging system. Though once you get used to it (some nice flourishes are embedded) it works well.

[marq=left]Peacerebel, I agree LOVED you piece and felt the same way, suited the mood of the day.[/marq]

[Peacerebel]

Thank you Moonlight & Christine

I nominate this as an anthem for EE. (norman, I added the lyrics to this song. Yes, those here behind the admin curtain can edit posts... so here I just did it)

WORD GAME

"Word Game"

Would you knock a man down
If you don't like the cut of his clothes
Could you put a man away
If you don't want to hear what he knows
Well, it's happening right here
People dying of fear by the droves

And I know most of you
Either don't believe it's true
Or else you don't know what to do
Or maybe I'm singing about you
Who knows

It's incredibly sick, you can feel it
As across the land it flows
Prejudice is slick when it's a word game
It festers and grows
Move along quick, it furthers one
To have somewhere to go

You can feel it as it's rumblin'
Let emotions keep a tumblin'
Then as cities start to crumblin'
Mostly empty bellies grumblin'
Here we go

People see somebody different
Fear is the first reaction shown
Then they think they've got him licked
The barbaric hunt begins and they move in slow
A human spirit is devoured
The remains left to carrion crow

I was told that life is change
And yet history remains
Does it always stay the same
Do we shrug it off and say
Only God knows

By and by somebody usually goes
Down to the ghetto try and help
But they don't know why folks treat them cold
And the rich keep getting richer
And the rest of us just keep getting old

You see one must have a mission
In order to be a good Christian
If you don't you will be missing
High Mass or the evening show

And the well fed masters reap the harvests
Of the polluted seeds they've sown
Smug and self-righteous they bitch about people they owe
And you can't prove them wrong
They're so God damn sure they know

I have seen these things with my very own eyes
And defended my battered soul
It must be too tough to die
American propaganda, South African lies
Will not force me to take up arms, that's my enemies' pride

And I won't fight by his rules that's foolishness besides
His ignorance is gonna do him in and nobody's gonna cry
Because his children they are growing up
With bigots and their silver cups they're fed up
They might throw up on you

Alright, ooh

[norman]

This is another departure...sorry......

I looked on youtube for a video version of a Bob Dylan song I've just been listening to over and over with my expensive IEMs out of a headphone amp.

Dylan stuff is obviously well defended on the internet because the only link I could find on google was to a video that has become 'unavailable'. I wonder how fresh that takedown was, because google still thought it was there.

So, I found, instead, a short video of a teenage girl enthusing about the very same song and she was showing a whole different take on the song from mine, which made me think.

The girl really likes the song too, that's great. Here she is, and if you get a chance, find it and listen yourself:
