The Beatles on Bushco economics. |
|
I was listening to Abbey Road and I was amazed at how the song "give me your money" (part of the Golden Slumber medley) applies to the economic policies of Bushco. I won't do a line by line analysis, you can have fun yourself;
You never give me your money You only give me your funny paper And in the middle of negotiations you break down
I never give you my number I only give you my situation And in the middle of investigation I break down
Out of college, money spent See no future, pay no rent All the money’s gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack Monday morning, turning back Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go, nowhere to go...
One sweet dream Pick up the bags and get in the limousine Soon we’ll be away from here Step on the gas and wipe that tear away One sweet dream came true today Came true today, came true today (yes it did)
One two three four five six seven All good children go to heaven...
I can only add that we will "carry that weight for a long time!"

1. Try listening to old Jefferson Airplane songs |
|
from the late 60s. We're almost there. When the draft returns, I predict hip-hop mixes of old Airplane songs will be all over the radio:
When the truth is found to be lies, when all that's in you dies, don't you want somebody to love, don't you need somebody to love...
also:
You are the crown of creation, and you've got nowhere to go. Soon you'll find the stability that you strive for, in the only way it's granted, in a place among the fossils of our time.

4. "The weight is your friend." |
|
I've been carrying that weight a long time...so long I've grown fond of it.
They may have won.
