SOLIDARITY !!!
fiat lux ; fiat pax ; fiat justitia ruat caelum ...
Sixto 'Sugarman' Rodriguez ~ The Establishment Blues ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZcF_a4ahq0
Sugarman ~ Cause ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6zm7b9xY3I
.
~~ 'Cause' (lyrics)
Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas
And I talked to Jesus at the sewer
And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business
.
While the rain drank champagne
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted
Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted
.
Oh but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald,
Neon lady , beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed
.
Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumours
But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners
.
And I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening
Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone
And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving
.
Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson
And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson
.
Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues
And I explained that I had overpaid them
So overdued I went to the company store
and the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
.
So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill
Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
.
Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
In weekends of whiskey sours
Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book and plant flowers?
.
What about "Revolution" by the Beatles? This one instantly came to mind.
@ F42 ;-) & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqC_Gma221M !!
Thanks; I forgot to attach the link. :)
Plus 4 U & All : "The Revolution Starts Now", by Steve Earl ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqTYz4Z7CYE&feature=related , courtesy of OWS forum-poster, "strugggleforfreedom80" from Norway ( http://struggleforfreedom.blogg.no/ ) & An Excellent Tune !!!
Many will know the tune however just how many will have really noticed the lyrics ?
Therefore ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FotCW5OIFZc&feature=related ..
amor vincit omnia .
On The Matter Of REVOLUJAH (and with thanx to forum poster "XXAnonymouSXX") : John Butler Trio - "Revolution" + lyrics ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23h7sGh6xIw&feature=youtube_gdata_player = Powerful Song !
Curtis, Sly, Marvin, Hendrix! Man, what a blast to the past. The days of my youth. Sadly Sly is the only one still with us.
@ 'gno' : Glad that you enjoyed it mate. Also somewhat embarrassingly, I've just learnt that Sly is still with us ! Thanx !!
Also re. a critical omission from the above is Gil Scott-Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised [Early Version] - 1970 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qoalKUt0mo & Full Band Version : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGaoXAwl9kw !!
I saw GSH live several times in the UK & even met him on one of those occasions when we spoke about his father Gil Heron who played football for Glasgow Celtic in the 1950s !
RIP : Gilbert "Gil" Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011).
respice ; adspice ; prospice ...
Yeah, I just heard about Gil within the last month after reading Lupe Fiasco's tribute poem. I remember well all these guys (not Lupe of course) from my teenage years back in the '70's. Being some of the last 'long-haired hippies' of those days we preferred hard rock and metal but the R&B and soul of those musicians was still a huge part of the music scene back then, full of good sounds, not the hate so common nowadays. Ah, the memories. ;-)
Re. Gil : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil_Scott-Heron .
Re. The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy :
a) "Television" ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebWk9pBXSso ,
b) "Music And Politics" ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCFZPT2skTY &
c) "Financial Leprosy" ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqB-wf49Xsc .
njoy ;-)
Cool. Bookmarked.
@ "gno(sis)" : Who needs "munny" when we've got ... Tunes, SOLIDARITY, Revolujah & Love ?!!
veritas vos liberabit ... 1<3 ~{;-)
Damn shadz, that was profound. That gnosis thing was completely unintentional, at least on the conscious level. The username is actually a play on, 'Gee, no money.' But on a deeper level some would say there was no mistake at all. I would guess you are an enlightened and/or spiritual individual.
@ 'gno(sis)' : Thought that I'd take the opportunity to extend all the best wishes of the season to you and yours and thus, Merry Xmas and Happy Hanukkah ; Solstice ; Yuletide and a New Year of Peace, Prosperity and Potential ...
Also, a) A rather interesting little background piece on Obomber : http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article29234.htm and
b) given the theme of the thread, A Tune for 2012 (see & hear 1:29 - 1:55 et al!) ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A102xE-Wnfk !!

We should reflect on what has happened to our world in the past 30 years.
For something rather rousing ... as "The Workers Have Nothing To Lose But Their Chains" :
1) 'DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT WHETHER', http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIOwQPzhz8A&fe....
2) 'IT CAN BE DONE', http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN96cKEYkHw&fe.... !
3) 'KICK OVER THE STATUES', http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEZTZ3_cqHY&fe.... and
4) 'THE POWER IS YOURS', http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZbd8rgOwmQ&fe.... !! So
5) 'KEEP ON KEEPING ON', http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rT1NYCWqEk&fe.... !!!
In SOLIDARITY ...
per ardua ..
ad astra .
And "Spirit," we can't lose that, Shadz.

Do You Support Wikileaks? *
Please help us petition the White House to stop President Barck Obama from imposing harsh economic sanctions against a promising young African nation whose innocence has been proven by secret US embassy cables released by Wikileaks. Your signature can really save the lives of 5 million people. Thank you.

Have only heard about 'Dub FX' on the grapevine but hadn't got round to actually checking on 'You Tube'. On a parochial level, it made be rather proud to live in the much maligned but still innovative and vibrant 'Multi-Cultural Britain' ... and with this in mind :
