Well, another song to remember... "We are gentle angery people, and we are singing singing for our lives..."
We had a great laugh at Midweek Meeting, remembering Freinds who would and did say the like of "Give me a fucking break" during meeting...
The bottom line is this... We are living in the city, most likely than ever before to suffer a nuclear blast for the behavior of a government out of control, and frankly I am more than angery, I am furrious.
My band members, one in particular, weeps at the songs Amadou Diallo and Engine 33, and while not making a comitment to this band, is well comitted to a band which plays fluff. I would trade a single tear for an ounce of commitment, as we are, quite litterally playing for our lives, as well as the lives of the victems of this toltalitarian capitalist state, which is snuffing out lives like a house wife with a raid can going after flys.
Yes, give me a fucking break, and give a break to the victems of American apathy everywhere. I would be overjoyed if you tossed my lifes work on the scrap heap of history and worked HARD for peace and justice. Give us all a break.
I remember passing the UN during the Cuban missile crises with my father and thinking that the fate of our two nations lies in that place, if we die or not, it all happens there between Mr. Kennidy and Mr. Kruschev. Oh, to trade baby bushkins for Mr. Kennidy. How unlikely we were to suffer the results of a failed policy then, compaired to now.
Needing a break, Larry
