IS IT TIME TO START LEARNING WOODY GUTHRIE SONGS?



Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.

And as through your life you travel,

Yes, as through your life you roam,
You won't never see an outlaw
Drive a family from their home.

The USA needs a new New Deal to survive the incalculable damage done by eight hideous years of GWB. And it will be socialism that get us through, my friends. Maybe a new socialism, but socialism, any way you slice it.

Well, Comrade Gap, I listened to it and...whatever.

To me, its a classic... its a remix from an oldschool 8bit midi I used to hear calling to me in every arcade I would grace with my presence. I hear that track & its an anthem of an ultra intense streamline escape to freedoms I can only have in my mind...

Nonetheless, I can understand the feeling of indifference towards something one doesn't have a sort of personal connection to.

Now you put it like that I understand and was probably a bit hasty in dismissing. To me it sounded cool and impersonal but that, yet again, is a matter of perception. Sorry.

No reason to be sorry, honesty is nothing to be ashamed of.

Okay, so there I was, stoned & bored during math class, when I figured out that "Taco squared = Zero"...

Input it in the Ti-81? 83? 82? something like that... fucking expensive calculator.

Just figured I'd share...

Peace
