Ode to Renee Good... and America - Weekend Music Thread

Sweet child in time
You'll see the line The line that's drawn between Good and bad
See the blind man Shooting at the world
Bullets flying, Ohh taking toll

If you've been bad Oh Lord I bet you have And you've not been hit Oh by flying lead You'd better close your eyes Ooohhhh bow your head Wait for the ricochet
I wanna hear you sing

RIP Renee Good

(Is America next?)

Now is, imho, the worst time for this country since the Cold War, Nixon, and the War in Vietnam.
With potential to be much worse than GW, Iraq, and the Bush Republican Recession.

I say that as someone who was Draft Bait a the time, and as a child had endured with all the other children in the country Atomic Bomb Drills in all schools including my elementary school.

As if sitting in the hallway covering our heads with our hands would protect us. Actually that's pretty much what some Americans are doing today; if one can be callous about these Street Executions, then one should reevaluate their mind and their soul.

O you who are in your tiny boat,
eager to hear more, following
behind my ship that advances, singing,
[go back, if you are to see your shores again.]

Do not put yourselves to sea, for if
you lose me, you too will be forever lost.
The waters I travel have never yet been crossed;
Minerva breathes, and Apollo guides me,
it is the nine Muses who show me the North Star.

Fartfisher's like a 5 year old calling the grownups, 'stupid'.

Of course, he's never had anything else, so...
