[Mb-hair] A message from Lillian Berlin

[James Pappaconstantine]

There is this really cool band called, Living Things. They do a lot of Anti-war songs in kind of a Ramones / Clash flare. The last release was not available in the US because of a few reasons one of which was that the band refused to change the lyrics to the single entitled Bombs Below. If anyone has the time.. go to maybe Yahoo music and check out the video for this song. In my opinion it is one of the most powerful and important videos of our lifetime. At anyrate.. I saw them a while back and wrote asking when they were coming back around and got this from Lillian. (the singer) thought you cats might dig it.
 
The era of George Bush is over. The emperor has no clothes, and everyone can 
now see it. America is finally awakening, its head pounding and its stomach 
churning, from the 9/11-induced credulity binge of the last half decade. The 
shrillness with which the Limbaughs and the O'Reillys attack the 
truth-speaking mother of a deceased US serviceman is but a measure of their 
panicked desperation as they watch the wheels coming off the wagon in every 
imaginable way, and as they stand helpless to stop it. None of the old bad 
magic works anymore - not the lies, not the diversions, not the endless 
repetition of hollow slogans, and not the character assassination of White 
House 'enemies'. Game over.

Again.. if you get the chance check out the video on line.. (it's probably the only place you'll be able to see it. as their old web site is down since they signed with a smaller more liberal label and the new site is not quite ready.)
 
Peace.. JIM
 
C-U at the reunion.  (I'll be the one who looks like a cross between Jim Morrison and that guy from just shoot me.. Elliott's brother.. "turkey pot, Turkey pot, Turkey pot pie!")
