Someone under the guise of "GUEST" is trying to start a rumour that I am in fact Martin Gibson. I find this kind of rumourmongering both tiresome and immature. I trust that all those who are regular catters can tell the difference!! "GUEST" If you are reading this then please try to use some sense as well as finding a mudcat identity before trying to confuse a large group of essentially mature people(with a few exceptions). Be Blessed.

You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down

There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.

Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be right back after a message
bbout a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

Gil Scot Heron, and you can find it on his album The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. It isn't sung. In fact, it is probably one of the first instances of rap music, but a much more intelligent type, with beatnik overtones. Heron was a member of the Last Poets, a group of black performance artists. He's now an English Professor at NYU.

Joe-Is martin Gibson a seperate member, or a mudcat member pretending to be someone else?
ie somebody using 2 different names?

if so=i think this is bad,
i only ever posrted as the same name here, [even though i changed it, i was john in hull, then joihn from hull, then sir john from hull]
but i never farted about with different names.

[i dont think i can on internet tv anyway]

anyeay, if he is using different names, then he is just trying to make trubble.


anyway=if you got something to say,m then say it, [in your normal name, not a different one]


there was some body saying bad things about me, before, as Ivor Biggin , and people tjought it was someone using a different name, i'm not bothered,
if you want to say anything about me [or someone else], just say it, why use a differreent name?

them people that do that, are just stupid, and got nothing better to do, than make truoble,
they should get out more, sing or play there instruments etc, not make trouble with differrent names.


anyway=if its true, why dont you stop them?, ie just let them only use one name, and if they use 2, dont let the new messages go.?

i think this is a good idea.john

I beleive Gil Scott-Heron is currently on parole for a drug charge. He's been in jail twice since 2001. A remarkable poet of the 1970s who probably did lend inspiriation to rap music.

Which is my opportunity to jump on my high horse about people joining Mudcat and NOT putting a profile up . If you are shy , perhaps the lack of a piccy might be excused , but basic info like what continent you are on and what instruments you play and what sort of songs you sing might just save a bit of confusion . Even what SEX you are might help , especially if you come into Mudchat under an androgenous name .

I find this forum excellent for finding new songs and tunes. I have posted several where I thought they were of interest, or where someone requested them. I have also been the beneficiary of other members who took time and trouble to share information.

If I wish to identify myself to particular members where I think we may have common interest, I will do so (and I have done). I believe all should be free to do so or not, as they choose.

With any luck it will still be going on weeks from now. And these are two guys who have both in their own fashion given me a whole lot of good laughs on the Mudcat. Worthy antagonists, to be sure.

British style 'chips' are big chunky things - one name used in Aussieland is 'Steak chips'. 'French fries' - as the Yanks promote them, are what we Aussies call 'Shoestring chips'.

Interestingly enough, the smaller chunks of potato have a larger surface area, and absorb more of the cooking oil/fat - thus are probably prone to being more unhealthy.

Yes because we know that a potato which has alomst no nutritional value, deep fried in oil and drenched in salt CAN be good for you.

The problem with obesity is that it doesn't kill stupid people quickly enough.

Blackcatter,

you're wrong in so many ways. First, you seem to have a chip on your shoulder (pun intended) about obesity, which I think is unwarranted. A lot of obese people are genetically predisposed to obesity, and you're being very insensitive. How would you like to be told that the problem with YOUR congenital illness was it didn't kill stupid people fast enough?

Beyond that, the potato is extremely nutritious. You can live on almost nothing but potatoes. This is why Irish people were able to become so dependent on it that a loss of that one crop killed millions of people.

Subject: RE: Georgiansilver/Martin Gibson
From: Lonesome EJ
Date: 23 Jul 04 - 01:36 PM

Of course potatoes have nearly no nutritional value. That's why it's important to add lots of butter, salt, pepper and sour cream to them, right?

I'm not talking about genetic obesity - I'm talking about all those stupid fat people who each crap all day long such as bad, un-healthy fast food and snack food and wash it all down with diet coke.

My best friend was obese for 6 years while it took doctors to figure out she had Cushing's Syndrome caused by a growth on her adrenal gland. As soon as the growth was removed, she began losing weight and got back down to her normal size. People like that may need some medical help, but it's not their fault and more than my poor eyesight is mine.

It's the fat, lazy junk-food people I don't like.

Subject: RE: Georgiansilver/Martin Gibson

Date: 23 Jul 04 - 03:09 PM

And are you sure you can always tell the difference?

Your attitude, Blackcatter, reminds me of once when I was having a hard time of it with a meniscus and hailed a city bus about 5 blocks from its terminal, a ride which would get me five blocks closer to my destination. The driver was surly when I got on- and then changed his face when I dropped in the normal fare. He mumbled something about he thought I was just trying to catch a ride, i.e. too lazy to walk.

I've always wished I had had a quick comeback, but I hope that from then on he was a little more cautious in his judgments.

Subject: RE: Georgiansilver/Martin Gibson
From: Blackcatter
Date: 23 Jul 04 - 05:11 PM

Ebbie - I'm not sure I get your point. I don't go around being surly to people who are fat. I treat everyone equally regardless or anything. So it doesn't matter if I can't tell the difference.

People in the country, for the most part, chose the type of food they eat and how much they eat. Sure you can blame advertising and even the fact that some food places like McDonalds probably lie about how bad their stuff is, but it's still "caveat emptor."

I saw a recent news article on TV (don't remember the show, sorry) about how difficult it is to get good, healthy food to eat in the poorer ares of cities. Supposedly there are few grocery stores easily reachable yet there are tons of fast food joints. I can sympathize, but my life doesn't make it easy to get good food either. I use a bike and the bus to get around and it is 3 miles to the closest grocery store. But I grow my own vegetables and make the trip to the grocery store to get good stuff. I haven't eaten in a fast food joint other than Subway in probably 10 years.

If people eat too much stuff and eat mostly bad stuff that's their flippin' fault. Yet their health problems end up costing all the rest of us millions of dollars in increased health insurance costs and taxes (for those who are uninsured). How do you like the fact that you pay money every year to cover these expenses that could be prevented if people just had more self-control?

I'm not going to apologize for those statements. There's enough legitimate health problems in the world without people hurting themselves and them blaming others.

And once again, this has nothing to do with those people who have true medical reasons for being obese.
