"Defenders of my conscience are trying to resign" is from Justin's Blues. A great song that has the refrain:

Justin says she only has the blues,
She says it's good enough for her
She hopes it's good enough for you

Mary, You Are My Friend has lyrics that are as telling today as they were back in the day Bruce wrote them:

But now machine guns testify that Hitler's back again
Washington, you know his footsteps, what he's done is changed his name
And perhaps gone more insane

If that doesn't describe the current administration, what does?

Here are the lyrics to "Lay Down Our Drums"

The truth's gotten lost
It's been strangled and tossed
By the noise and,
Confusion of battle
It's left it so rattled
It's poisoned
The future must think that barbarians come
Let's lay down our drums

Soldiers mark time
To the criminal mind
When they pass by
Our Governors smile
'cause the Nuremburg Trials
Never asked why
Our homicide police don't convict anyone
Let's lay down our drums

Bridge:
Its useless political talk
Its kept everybody strung
And it's evident both sides should stop
They already deserve to be hung
Let's lay down our drums

Fools get upset
Without thought they forget
About reason
So the human who marches
Is slandered by charges
Of treason
You know songs of this kind should not need to be sung
Let's lay down our drums
Let's lay down our drums

Thank you, Sister, Azizi! We're hunkering down here in Southwest Florida. Looks like it might be a Category 1 by the time it makes landfall here in Ft. Myers early tomorrow morning. Right now it's the proverbial calm before the storm. I'm tempted to dig out my old recording of Tom Rush doing the Galveston Flood (Wasn't That a Mighty Time) but that might be challenging the Hurricane Gods a tad too much!

Thanks Bob for getting out those lyrics of "Mary, You Are My Friend." Not everybody here has heard that record and even though Bruce doesn't like it much, those songs need to be shared.

Cheers, everybody......if I go silent for awhile, it's because Hurricane Fay brought Florida Power and Light to its knees. Never take on Mother Nature!!!

I just re-read your post, Ken, and agree wholeheartedly with this point.

All of Bruce's previous recordings that we have mentioned in this thread so far-and other songs of his that haven't been mentioned yet-deserve to be made available in Mp3 form so they can be heard again and again. Then we can decide if we want to download them into our personal Ipods or other MP3 players or not, in the order we want to hear them, mixed in with the newer Bruce Murdoch songs and other artist's songs. I'm betting that a lot of people will want to download these older and newer Bruce Murdoch songs because they're that good.

Bruce, when I fully enter the 21st century of music delivery and music listening by purchasing an IPod {that is, as soon as I purchase a new computer that has enough memory}, if your songs from your "Matters Of The Heart" CD are available for downloading as Mp3s, I intend to download many of them on to that Ipod. And I will do so in an ethical way and purchase each song before downloading it.

And if your old songs ever are available in Mp3 format, I will be one of the first people who would purchase and download many of your old songs, and I would listen to them in the format that most people nowadays-not just young people- are listening to music.

Why would I do that? Because I love those songs. And I love being my own DJ and making my own play-list, that's why. And I think that's the reason why I will love having a Mp3 player, and I think that's the reason why so many other people like having a Mp3 player.

Hopefully, Bruce, you will reconsider your position of not wanting your old songs to be available in Mp3 format. If not, it's the world's loss. Some folks in the world may note this with regrets, but the world will keep spinning as it always does.

Good day!! I'm glad to say that Fay has gone away!!

Wait a minute. Murdoch!! Look at the above.....do you think there is a future for me in rhymin'??

Yeah, yeah....I know.....don't give up your day job, Millar.

Anyway, Iam pleased to report that Tropical Storm Fay has gone northeast to trouble other communities. Bob, Dan, Mandy, and Azizi....thank you for your notes of encouragement and Azizi, thank you for your prayers.

Bruce, I appreciated the phone calls and the sage EMS advice....and, per your instructions, I did nothing heroic and/or stupid during the storm (as we agreed, the two are frequently synonymous).

We were fortunate.....Fay remained a tropical storm and never reached hurricane status but, 70 - 80 mph winds are still nothing to fool with and the storm spawned many tornados and dumped a ton of water. Other than a hisbiscus tree that my wife never liked anyway, we suffered no damage. Florida Power and Light restored the power in time that we didn't have to throw away the contents of our refrigerator and now, I have cable restored, as well. "All's well that ends well" as Shaespeare reminds us. Of course, hurricane season doesn't end for another ten weeks so we need to keep our fingers crossed.

Cheers....and thanks again.

Hey, Ken! I'm glad to "hear" that all is well.

I'm assuming that the hisbiscus tree that you referred to as having suffered damage didn't do damage to anyone or anything else. It's been two weeks and a day after one huge portion of a 100 ft locust tree fell on my stairs. The entire tree is but a memory now-and I count my blessings every day because that could have been sooo much worse than worrying about scheduling repairmen to fix the concrete stairs and cyclone fence, and the wooden railing etc.

Ken, it occurs to me that the only thing that this message has to do with this thread is that we have Bruce and his songs to thank for bringing you to Mudcat. So, thanks Bruce.

On this one, my old friend,we may disagree - but then, you know, my politics have not changed and are as central to me as ever. In fact, there is more need now for us to be speaking up than there was in the 60's. The Empire has gotten a lot more dangerous and deadly. This powerful, poetic way of speaking out is one of your unique gifts. Just reading these words took me back to 1968 when we sang these words at a huge Be In in Central Park and - we sang them beautifully and with revolutionary zeal. The Heart is your favorite domain - We all know that - but is ii our only purpose? Our Lady Mary herself said in her Magnificat:

"...He has scattered the proud in their conceit
    He has cast down the mighty from their thrones
                and has lifted up the lowly
    He has filled the hungry with good things
                and the rich he has sent away empty..!

Mary You Are My Friend - and my Mother, and my Comrade.

      Forgive my rant, Bruce. You sing abut what your heart and your soul tell you to!

A review of MOTH from http://playitagainmax.blogspot.com/

I wanted to let people know about another new release by an artist whose first (full-length) album was posted here. Bruce Murdoch, one of the most under-rated folk singers to come out of the 1960s, has a new CD entitled Matters of the Heart, which you can purchase from his Web site. In an interesting contrast to the new Andy Zwerling release I mentioned a couple weeks ago, Murdoch's new music is less political (in the macro sense) and more hopeful than his first album. The songs, while introspective and melancholy at times, still seem to be largely songs of love and acceptance (even in the face absence). You can also preview some tracks on the Web site. For what it's worth, my recommendation is that you get a copy now.

Yesterday he was and his CD was a phoenix. All the stuff on it flies though, however it flew here, but you have the balls to call it "MOTH"?

The perfect MOTHers Day present, maybe?

Has he replaced Zappa as MOTHer Of Invention?

The adventures of BeheMoth have been recently chronicled in the Mudcat Midsummer Tavern Thread.

Does Azizi fly above the radar to avoid being eaten by bats?

What other powers-that-be does she possess or is possessed by? Does she use them for the cause of good?

Does she have a properly addictive Super Heroine nickname and wear (but never wear out) an appropriate nonshrinkable and non-fadeable sexydesigner costume (purple?) complete with emblem that she designed herself in her secret laboratory so that her alter ego is safe and her alteration-ego never has to be consulted?

Posted from an undisclosed location:

Severn, thank you for rising to the occassion and asking those questions. Here are my responses:

1.Does Azizi fly above the radar to avoid being eaten by bats?

No. There are more important reasons why I fly above the radar.

2. What other powers-that-be does she possess or is possessed by? That is restricted information.

Does she use them for the cause of good? Of course!

3. Does she have a properly addictive Super Heroine nickname and wear (but never wear out) an appropriate nonshrinkable and non-fadeable sexydesigner costume (purple?) complete with emblem that she designed herself in her secret laboratory so that her alter ego is safe and her alteration-ego never has to be consulted?

As to my super heroine nickname-addictive or non-addictive, I'll leave that to others to come up with.

Sorry, photos of my superheroine outfit are also restricted. However, you guessed correctly that one of the featured colors of my superheroine outfit is "purple". "Gold" is the other featured color. As to whether my outfit is sexy or not-Most red blooded males probably would think so, but I'm not so sure about those green blooded males.

And as to my emblem, I admit that I borrowed heavily from my friend, Zorro.

For those curious about such matters, here's a photo and a brief description of my alter-ego persona:

"She's a big city girl with a hot, happening life! She's everywhere that's anywhere – she's Super Zizi

If you love snob appeal made downright alluring down to the last detail, this is the superheroine for you... A true class act."

5.WHO WAS that masked woman, anyway?
Why, Super Zizi, of course!

6. And is Bruce writing her theme song?
Well, he's already written a song called "If I Had Wings". However, I'm not saying that all the words to that song apply.

A well meaning, fixer clone has inadvertently revealed my deepest secret-the wrong URL is as dangerous for me as kryptonite is for my friend Superman.

Apart the wrong URL, I am strong and mighty in battle. Apart from that, I can fly higher than the "Last Robin In Summertime" across the "Plains of Jericho" or anywhere else anyone would chance to wander even in his or her most adventurous "Romping Roving Days". Yes, apart from the wrong URL, I'm guaranteed to be the
"Last [Wo]Man Standing".

But enough talk about those dreaded URLs. It's time for me to return to my secret laboratory in my undisclosed location where important goin's on are goin on. But I promise that I will return to Mudcatville "As Soon As Possible".

Why, that was Super Zizi!

O, Mighty Avenger,


Is your insignia just worn on your Zizi top (hopefully you don't have a beard) or on your Zizi bottom as well?


Far better to stop at two "Z's". Add a third and folks would mistake it for "The Mark Of Snorro" and assume you were flying in your sleep, possibly under the spell of the much dreaded (an "in" hairstyle these days) Lord Kumbaya, ruler over the minions of unconsciousness.


Purple & Gold, eh? If you weren't flying, one would think you were trying out for the LSU or Laker cheerleaders.....


As for your powers, I assume you have Super Vision and that your parents would have taught you never to go out at night without it. And I suppose you talk to your foes in playground rhyme (or am I confusing The Purple Zizi with The Plain Brown Rapper?). Being from Pittsburgh, I'd think you'd be a Woman of Steel and stainless, at that. A mere Woman of Iron would fall victim to the likes of Marvel villain Magneto before she could get on with her pressing needs. And I suppose that after several flights worth of stares, the Pittsburghians would be used to your prescence as a step or two above whatever else they had in the past to combat stealers or pirates or robber barons.


Do you pop a can of Iron City like Popeye pops a can of spinach? (No spinach for you. Greens don't go with purples).


Are you assisted by Micro Bruce, firy defender of Hip Hops? If so, ditch that can of Iron City FAST!


.....Speaking of Bruce, I suppose I should be giving him back his thread now, so without further adieu, "Hello, Bruce!".....


("Adieu!.....Isn't that what you say to a spouse at the CLOSING ceremonies of a wedding?)



.....but I actually, for now, must finally bid you "adieu".

Do I hear two dieus?

No?

GOING,

GOING,

GONE!..........

(also, what you say to a spouse at the ending ceremonies of a marriage)

Make that "Marriage", rather than wedding. And you can remove the last sentence, if you want to. Some bad editing and rewriting.

You blew ANOTHER punch line, Severn! Time for another cup of coffee.....

Of course Micro Bruce would have to have non-alchoholic content and no alchoholic discontent to be able to have his comic book adventures be sold on an old style news stand and Zizi would have to be on best behavior as well. There is a code of conduct for heroes, or at least used to be until the late 60's.

There used to be something called the Comics Code that it would say in the corner of the front cover that the comic you were about to read subscribed to or maybe merely ascribed to that probably went out the window at the time of Mr. Natural, Fritz The Cat and Snappy Sammy Smoot.

Do they still have one? Is it headquartered in some building somewhere and do people still officially answer to it? Or do the majors police themselves in the time of the Graphic Novel and specialty comic shoppe?

I don't read 'em much anymore, but occaisionally see the movie.....

Maybe we could move Bruce over to a featured role in a comic book called "No Way, Hose A!" about the adventures of a wacky fire company for those still looking to find a Smokey Stover for the 21st Century who will somehow write songs as he goes along and serve as whatever the opposite of a torch singer is while still nailing up signs saying "Notory Sojac" to hang in thin air like cartoon firemen of old.

.....or maybe not.


But it might work better than something like "PEACE COMICS" that would be doomed to fail to appeal to the action, humor or illustrated Cliff Notes markets.


Of course if he were liscenced by Rupert Murdoch, ANYTHING that he did would be published in the purplest of prose......
