WE DO NOT BOW TO KINGS OR EMPERORS; WE THROW EM OUTTA POWER!!!

[noahmijo]

Okay maybe it's too early to say this but seeing the results of late especially with Cindy Sheehan out there and then CNN getting the nerve to directly strike at Bushco I think as a certain Queensryche song said "There's a Revolution Calling" and it's about damn time.

Okay so sure some of you say it didn't hit hard enough and have mixed opinions fine but at least the message overall was Bush was WRONG this administration was WRONG at least a network had the guts to show a side other than the flag waving pro war propaganda crap that we've been fed for the last few years since the war started.

I'm beginning to proud to be an American again, I know I know still MUCH MUCH more to be done but you can't get a blowtorch going without the initial flame.

What I said in my opening statement to me is what defines TRUE Americans; we're rebellious we defy authority We refuse to bow to kings we toss them out on their asses they minute they get too authoritarian for our tastes.

Hopefully this is the beginning of that act.

1. That's off the "operation mindcrime" CD

great CD saw them perform it live twice .

:headbang:

2. That is included in my top ten albums of all time

You gotta love Mindcrime I listen to it almost everyday. What amazes me the most is how you can listen to this ENTIRE album and truly believe it was written TODAY and not in the 80's...

3. I don't know, given Abu Ghraib et al...

I guess it's cheesy and mainstream, but the Metallica WWI song seems apropos of the various veterans mutilated by those genocidal maniacs in the WH. "One" or similar. There is actually significant context there because in WWI times, reconstructive surgery was considerably less advanced, and soldiers with "broken faces" and blinded by the then-commonly-used gas weapons were numerous. Nowadays, medicine can save many of those who would have otherwise died in prior armed conflicts, but only at the expense of amputation and gross disfigurement, so recreating the phenomenon described (sensory deprivation as a result of mutilation due to injury in armed conflicts, though this phenomenon was not common in WWI and is not common now).

And maybe Rumsfeld or the psychiatrists in employ at Guantanamo et al are modern incarnations of Slayer's "Angel of Death" (originally about Mengele).

While Queensryche more directly address the socioeconomic factors at work, the personal tragedies of mutilation and disfigurement, and the personal responsibility for crimes against humanity, were addressed by Metallica and Slayer in their recordings from around the same time.
