    Three years is a long time in geopolitics. In 2003 the Dixie Chicks were condemned as traitors in America after telling a London audience they were ashamed that their president came from Texas. Now the group’s angry new song addressing that controversy looks set to become a hit.
    Not Ready to Make Nice, due to be released in May, refers to death threats the three Texans received after the Guardian reported how they had criticised George (…)

  • The "Real Thing", a familiar tune
    16 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    We’d like to make the world our own and reap the revenue Drill for oil and rape the land and not leave ’til we’re through! We’d like to teach the world to drink a Starbuck’s latte, tall and build a bunch of Dominos and food courts in the mall. We’d like to have some bases in those countries where we don’t and reap the love of all the world (but we all know we won’t) Hey Ka-Ching!,Ka-Ching!, that’s the name of that tune! (etc) We’d like Chineses and Russkis too to get out of our way (…)

  • Lessons Taught by Grammy
    11 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Eugene Robinson
    Was his insolent claim that "George Bush doesn’t care about black people" the reason Kanye West didn’t win the prestigious album of the year and record of the year awards he deserved at the Grammys the other night? That’s just part of the story, I think, and we’ll get back to it after we first survey the Big Picture.
    I’ve always thought the Grammy Awards offered a better, more finely detailed portrait of the American zeitgeist than either the Oscars or the Emmys. The (…)

    With apologies to Lionel Bart..the music,from OLIVER!,is conspicuous by it’s absense. Small kickbacks, small tortures who would deny us these? Rigged voting, fixed contracts part of our world of sleaze! We do it! We love it! Flying by seats of pants We never tire of it leading this merry dance! If you don’t mind lying to the public, It’s a fine life! Though convincing voters is a hat trick.. It’s a fine life! When we get majority we disseminate more strife Let the Libs look down on us (…)

  • Anti War Album - "Hypnotize" by System Of A Down : A review
    1 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The quick review of System Of A Down’s "Hypnotize" is that this album is a masterpiece. This group of very talented and extremely intelligent individuals have just put themselves into the history books. The message shared is to educate ourselves, to learn that we are free, and to resist corporate laws disguised as protection from invisible enemies. This is done eloquently in operatic form by two vocal talents, each with dual personalities, and delivered with force while riding on a crest of (…)
