19 Oct 11 - 10:56 AM (#3241326) Subject: Songs For The 99% From: Fl!p Breskin I've been thinking about teaching sing-along songs to be used for marches & demonstrations. Really easy to pick up on. Not just old ones though they are a welcome treasury. We've got a new generation on the streets. I think singing is more likely to attract bystanders than grumpy shouting. Suggestions? Thanks! |

22 Oct 11 - 06:55 AM (#3242949) Subject: RE: Songs For The 99% From: GUEST,Jim Knowledge I `ad that Fl!p Breskin in my cab the other day with a furrowed brow and that ponderous look we get when we can`t find the solution. I said, "Whassup Fl!p, you`ve obviously got something on your mind that `as got your attention?" Back came the answer, "You`re right there Jim. I`m trying to come up with songs that the 99% can sing when they`re marching and demonstrating." I said, "Fl!p, that`s a no brainer. It`s got to be "`Oo Wants to be a Millionaire"!!." Whaddam I Like?? |

They were born into privilage and lack the mettle to survive their own mistakes.
Personally, as a strong 99% member of the "baby boom generation" I find their whines...a tune out of time. Stick a wet willy in their ear, then maybe they will hear. PATHETIC.
