Don Firth: (Quoting Margaret Mead)"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has!"

Well, yes, that is true...and we've seen it, and many, even here, participated in such things, and even so, in our youth.

I remember my Dad telling me, back then, in one of those 'heart to heart' talks,..and, upon him knowing that I've been a bit of a 'rebel', said, "Sometimes there is a time for rebels, and rebellion, but don't be a 'rebel' for rebel's sake. Instead, you can keep your spirit of being a rebel, but rebel at evil."

Now being at the cutting edge of a few things(artistically speaking), I've had to be a bit 'revolutionary', if you will...., 'Not sticking to the old shit, that doesn't fully work..but to 'revolve' as in 'turn' toward your inspiration...and in the course, of what I've seen, in my country and government, as well as corporate/business, and all the lies, that we find ourselves making excuses for, or spinning them to promote either party, then, what I come to, is "In a universe of deceit, speaking the truth is revolutionary!"

What we have seen, and from both parties, MANIPULATED BY THE SAME PEOPLE, is SO MUCH deceit, that maybe the truth, will come from the ground up, and have power to defeat the real oppressive enemy, of all of us!...Just some of us want to hold onto, that youth..and our ideals, and our place in it, without snapping a tight leash, on those parties, co-opting us, and using that spirit in us, that once gave THEM power.
The day that they use LIES, to persuade us toward their goals, without honesty, and practice 'mind control', to that end, is the day I'm OUT!......I'll listen to where I get truth...and in time, the 'small group' of us, will ultimately win out!

Sometimes ya just gotta turn your backs on 'Bogus Crusaders'!!

me??...I'm writing/composing and performing some revolutionary truth....it has NOTHING to do with political anything.................................(they lie too much).


Don, you shine, when you stick to music!
