Disgusted with politicians?---sing it!

Just dust off those albums from the 60's and 70's. Heck The Who even put this day in one of their songs way back then.

"Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
Only half way up the tree
Slip kid, slip kid, I'm a relation
I'm a soldier at sixty-three
No easy way to be free..."

Slip Kid--The Who


Still my all time favorite is Who'll stop the Rain. Sung by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival and a bit more subtle than Country Joe singing Fixin to die Rag at Woodstock. 


(J. Fogerty)

Long as I remember The rain been comin' down,
Clouds of myst'ry pourin' Confusion on the ground,
Good men through the ages, Tryin' to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia, Seekin' shelter from the storm,
Caught up in the Fable, I watched the Tower grow,
Five Year Plans and New Deals, Wrapped in Golden Chain,
And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.

Heard the Singers Playin', How we cheered for more,
The Crowd had rushed together, Tryin' to keep warm,
Still the rain kept Pourin', Fallin' on my Ears.
And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll Stop The Rain.

Artist : John Fogerty
Song Title : Rock And Roll Girls

Sometimes i think
Life is just a rodeo
The trick is to ride
And make it to the bell

But there is a place
Sweet as you will ever know
In music and love
And things you never tell

You see it in there face
Secrets on the telephone
A time out of time
For you and no one else
chorus
Hey let's go
All over the world
Rock and Roll Girls
Rock and Roll Girls

If i had my way
I'd shuffle off to buffalo
Sit by the lake
And watch the world go by

Ladies in the sun
Listenin'to the radio
Like flowers in the sun
A rainbow in my mind

chorus
Hey let's go
All over the world
Rock and Roll Girls
Rock and Roll Girls

Hey let's go
All over the world
Rock and Roll Girls
Rock and Roll Girls

Hey let's go
All over the world
Rock and Roll Girls
Rock and Roll Girls

Hey Hey Hey

Midnight Special
John Fogerty--Creedence Clearwater Revival

"Well, you wake up in the mornin, you hear the work bell ring,
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.
Aint no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan.
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man."


********************************************************
Prison is probably the only place a politician won't see any "pork up in the pan."

Wrote a song for Everyone
John Forgerty--Creedence Clearwater Revival

"Saw the people standin' thousand years in chain,
Somebody said it's diff'rent now, look, it's just the same,
Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth,
They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?

Thanks OldDan. That Battle Hymn ditty is pretty true today. Especially:


"New missiles, they are needed for the sake of our defense,
For weapons great for business, we should never spare expense.
"...That the world should fear America makes lots and lots of sense.
Doubt not what they say."

clinton fired off 200 Tomahawks at OBL and then not to be out done by stupidity, bush fired off two volleys of 200 each at saddam. And all they did was start a 600 million dollar sand storm.

The Times They are A Changin.
Bob Dylan

"...Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Dont stand in the doorway
Dont block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
Theres a battle outside
And it is ragin.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin..."
