Unlike Bush, Kerry has done interviews with popular youth-culture media like Rolling Stone magazine, noting that he didn't think Bush would "fuck it up as badly as he (Bush) did."

"And you said, Fuck it? You're damn right.
I said, "I'm going to be who I am" -- I think people care about authenticity. There are much bigger issues."

Old Guy...

I'll bet you Kerry listens to this Rap song. Him and a couple of million young voters.

Eminem Anti-Bush Video

I'm not a rap fan but this is powerful this is very very well done

Bravo Eminem!


Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us,
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's trying to tell us something, maybe this is God just saying
we're responsible for this monster, this coward, that we have empowered
This is Bin Laden, look at his head nodding,
How could we allow something like this, Without pumping our fist
Now this is our, final hour
Let me be the voice, and your strength, and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme, just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify the times it, and multiply it by six
Teen million people are equal of this high pitch
Maybe we can reach Al Quaida through my speech
Let the President answer on high anarchy
Strap him with AK-47, let him go
Fight his own war, let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our soil
No more psychological warfare to trick us to think that we ain't loyal

If we don't serve our own country we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes, it's all lies, the stars and stripes
They've been swiped, washed out and wiped,
And Replaced with his own face, mosh now or die"

yes, I think he is being honest.

You may continue to beat a dead horse if you wish, but you're just being an asshole.

Kerry told MTV: "I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think that there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger, a lot of social energy in it.
Kerry said America's leaders disregard rap music at their peril, telling MTV, "I think you better listen to it pretty carefully because it's important.... I'm still listening, because I know that it's a reflection of the street and it's a reflection of life. And I understand all that."
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/3/30/232933.shtml

Is Kerry being honest or not. I don't think he is being honest. He just wants votes and says things like this to get more votes. Pandering in other words. It is not mentioned in Rolling Stone but he says it on MTV.

You can moan and groan that all of this has been answered but none of it has been answered. Excuses have been made for Kerry but nothing has been answered except with esoteric horseshit references to stuff like compassion and awareness.

He pretends to fit in with the regular people. He goes to a Wendys and to eat and rub elbows and then he gets in his bus and and eats his real gourmet lunch catered by a country club.

Old Guy:

I answered this question, and then I took the trouble to point out to you that I had answered it, and you have ignored me twice.

Mister Kerry was expressing a sensitivity to the stress and anger that motivates usic such as rap, and said he was fascinated by it because it reveals these strains of emotion in the culture as a whole.

That is a legitimate sociological proposition. The minds and hearts of subcultures are very often expressed more clearly in their music than anywhere else.

As a politician it is his business to understand what different groups of people are experiencing, what is hindering them and what their feelings are. So he finds rap music to be a valuable indicator of the feelings beneath the surface in a certain sector of the American populace. I would too.

I do not like rap music, but I can respect it as a medium of a group of people. Kerry can also. If you were a compassionate and aware politician, you would too. If Bush were competent and compassionate, he would as well.

I expect you will not understand this post as written but will alter it to make it worse, or to make it seem less reasoned than it is. Let me advise you in advance this is the last offering I will make, out of a decent respect for discourse, to try to clarify what Mister Kerry said in the face of your obnoxious, persistent refusal to understand the viewpoint being presented.

Rex:

Evidently you are unable to define GWAR music. I am not aware if they are a minority. I found the lyrics on the net. No pictures or description. Nor was there any description of the genre.

I could have been mistaken in assuming that it was rap music because I am not that familiar with it. You say it is not rap or hip hop but you can't say what it is. I attempted to give an example of what I thought rap music was for anybody that did not have any idea.

I am not attemptint to demonise what ever style it is. The lyrics speaks for the music.

Your racial accusations are totaly baseless. Neither of us knows if the other is black or white. I still don't the ethnicity of GWAR nor have I attempted to find out.

And you still can't answer the question about Kerry.

Do you think he is really as interested as he says he is in Rap or Hip Hop and do you think he is still listening to it?

And also If he was being interviewed by Rolling stone Magazine, why wouldn't he mention the Rap Hip Hop genre as being one that he was facinated by and still listening to?

My opinion, even if it pisses you off it is still my opinion and I am entitled to it amd I am entitled to state it publicly, is that Kerry only made the statement in a place where he thought it would win him some votes amongst the younger generation without loosing too many votes from others. I have even forgotten the place. It is a process known as pandering.

And I don't believe that liberal elitists care for Rap or Hip Hop music.

State your opinion and your beliefs but don't try to deny me mine.

You can call me names and hurl accusations too but your civility will define your credibility.

All Knowing Nerd:

You haven't answered the question either.

Heh. "OG." No, my "agenda" is to show (as if people didn't already know) that you are spouting off on subjects that you know absolutely nothing about, and spreading misinformation in an effort to discredit John Kerry. I don't care that you're old, and I REEEEEALLY don't care what you say about fucking Kerry. But when you attempt to demonise a style of music that you know nothing about, a style of music that just happens to have been created by and for the most part performed by an ethnic minority, the best of which is more meaningful, and more entertaining than anything you could ever dream of producing yourself, well... that bothers me, especially coming from someone like you.

That you happened to stumble into one of the few folk-music fans that can actually recite "Slap U Around" from memory is just your bad luck.

And damned good point, Greg. But do you know how few chances I get to discuss GWAR in life, let alone on a folk music forum? But I'm done, I promise.

But you were trying to pass off GWAR lyrics as Eminem lyrics, Old Guy, and you continue to misrepresent them as "rap" lyrics even though I've corrected you. Three times, or four, including this. With proof that they're not rap lyrics, even. Your initial ignorance is understandible; you are, by your own admission, and elderly man, and newfangled things like "rap" and "rock and roll" are probably... confusing. You found lyrics about kicking pregnant women, and you thought about Bill O'Reilly, and you got momentarily hungry for falafel, and then you thought "Yup, this is that rippity-rap music the negroes love! Who else would sing of such horrible things?" But like I said, I've corrected you four times. If your initial mistake was just incredible ignorance/laziness, fine. I forgive you. But, fuck, are you really so dense that you'll stubbornly cling to a falsehood even after you've been shown the truth? Ah, but you are a Bush man, aren't you.

You wanted some Rap lyrics that Kerry might endorse? Here's one that celebrates "all lifestyles" except drug use:

"Goto goto goto goto
Don't mess with crack or the baking soda
Whether in the high rise where you live like Rhoda
Or in the shack and you live like Yoda
Once again it's on like a brand new morn
Beatsie Beatsie Boys here to keep you all warm
All you spazzes and you freaks
Go and do your thing 'cause you're unique
If it don't hurt nobody else than
Don't be afraid to be yourself and
Special dedication and so on
to all lifestyles, sizes, shapes and forms"

Another similar one from the Beasties:

"Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, New York you make it happen

Shout out the South Bronx where my mom hails from
Right next to High Bridge across from Harlem
To the Grand Concourse where my mom and dad met
Before they moved on down to the Upper West
I see you're still strong after all that's gone on
Life long we dedicate this song
Just a little something to show some respect
To the city that blends and mends and tests

Since 911 we're still livin'
And lovin' life we've been given
Ain't nothing gonna take that away from us
Were lookin' pretty and gritty 'cause in the city we trust

Dear New York I know a lot has changed
2 towers down but you're still in the game
Home to many rejecting no one
Accepting peoples of all places, wherever they're from"

And here's some directly addressing George W. Bush:

"You build more bombs as you get more bold
As your mid-life crisis war unfolds
All you wanna do is take control
Now put that Axis of Evil bullshit on hold."

Yes, I can easily see Kerry grooving to the Beasties!

Wyclef Jean of the Fugees has argued against the kinds of abuses US law enforcement makes in "Diallo":

"Have you ever been held
against your will?
Taken to a dark place
where not even scientists can reveal?
So what is for Ceasar
let it be for Ceasar
Cause we don't want no peace
We want equal rights and justice.. for

Diallo, Diallo - similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo - you tell me that the murder was an error
Diallo, Diallo - but every man will be judged
Diallo, Diallo - according to his words."

Certainly, Kerry's arguments that you'd better listen to and be aware of this kind of sentiment are valid. And incidentally, when Howard Dean was asked what his favorite song was during one of the debates, it was a Wyclef Jean song! So we know Dean listens to rap.

Anyway, Old Guy, the point is that there is plenty of valid and important political and social commentary in rap, and I don't doubt that Kerry knows a heck of a lot more about it than you do.

But as always, you wear your ignorance as a badge of honor.

Old Guy, as I told you, it's a song by GWAR, from their wonderful album "This Toilet Earth." Here is a link to those same lyrics. Check out GWAR's site. Not rap. Big hulking rubber monsters with guitars. Trust me on this. I've been listening to them since I was a kid. Did you just search through a list of "offensive" lyrics until you found one you "liked?" (Btw, "Baby Dick Fuck," "Rock 'n' Roll Never Felt So Good," or "Babyraper" would've been much more offensive GWAR songs) Why would you assume that these were "rap" lyrics? Do rappers (let's just say it, you're talking about black people) have a monopoly on offensive lyrics?

As for why you have all of these weird misconceptions about what "rap" is, and view it so negatively... well, Nerd's covering that pretty well, so I'll shut up. :)

Okay, let me put it this way, Old Guy. To "draw a conclusion" that is true, in a logical sense, requires that you begin with premises that are true. You simply made up one of your premises: liberal whites from the northeast do not listen to rap. That premise is not true.

In fact, you probably don't know that one of the best-known rap groups in America since the 1980s has been made up entirely of what you would call "liberal elitists." (Since, you obviously know nothing about hip hop or rap, I refer to the Beastie Boys, whom I knew slightly in High School).

No, you just made shit up, Old Guy. And I did not make THAT up. You like your sophistry and your intellectual masturbation, but your words are empty because you make up many of your premises and use them to draw faulty conclusions.

As Amos says, it's a sad waste.

I am not an aficionasdo of Rap / Hip Hop or whatever those lyrics are. I assume that it is the same genre that Kerry says he is facinated by and still listens to. I could be mistaken

He did not name any of his favorite artists.

Maybe you could clarify things a little and give is some lyrics to the music that you think Kerry was referring to.

Kerry is curious and open minded.

Bush is a brain damaged hillbilly wanabe who plays on the emotions of the gulible and counts on the silence of the greedy and selfish.

Aw, and here I though GWAR had a senior citizens as a fan. Dammit! That was a truly entertaining image.

And if Kerry is listening to GWAR, he's not listening to rap Well, "The Song of Words" was sung in a "rap" style, as was "Slaughterama and "Think You Oughta Know This," and "Salaminizer" is sort of a parody of NWA's "Gangsta Gangsta." But it would be hard to describe what a bunch of middle-aged guys dressed up like well-endowed comic book characters playing, basically, metal, as "rap." And "Slap U Around" isn't even close; They did that in a cheesy (sorry LH), cow-bell-y hair metal style. Very funny song, if you understand the context, which I doubt you do.

Where did you get the idea "Slap U Around" was a rap song, anyways?

Just in case someone here is not familiar with the Rap Genre, it serves as an example of what Kerry claims to be facinated by and is still listening to.

Old Guy, just because I'm really fucking curious, and because as far as I know you're the only other person (the other being me) who has quoted GWAR in Mudcat history: what was the GWAR quote supposed to prove?

SRS:

I agree with you and I do not agree with you. Therefore all who agree with you should have a favorable impression of me.

All who disagree with you will also have a favorable impression of me because I took an exception.

Now that is truly a win/win situation.

Amos:

No I can't see the distinction. Yes is yes and no is no, Kerry trys to blur his positions so they suit everybody. Is there such thing as 3/4 yes or 1/4 no?

Should we redefine what the words "for" and "against" mean so as to give credence to your candidate's dual positions?

How about an Amos dictionary?

Get another cup of coffee and snap out of it.

Old Guy said Strong minded people see both sides an realize there is a conflict. They conclude that anyone who is for and against everything is neither for or against anything. Then they look around for someone who has one position on the issues and they select him.

You'd better hope for many more people in the world who can see both sides of issues and made intelligent choices based on what they see. Like your doctors, for example. It's the shades of gray that are going to save your sorry ass if you ever get sick, OG. "For and against" something is your reductive way of concluding that someone who has mixed feelings on a topic, who can state an arguement for and against and weigh the issues and make a decision on one side based on the best probable outcome is "one size fits all." Yeah, right. Dubya only sees in black and white, and doesn't have a clue on many issues beyond having made up his mind based on party ideolgy and then not budging from that position. You don't need a doctor or a government official who thinks like that.

Please delete the reference to John Everett Millais, above. It is an accident and irrelevant to this thread.

I happen to be quoting lyrics from Bob Dylan. Who is very intelligent, and his words are very RELEVANT right now. Rattling off a bunch of numbers isn't going to impress anyone. Now when Bill Clinton played the Sax, that was somethin' boy...
