What a Wonderful World (U.S. Foreign Policy)

And, this continues in Brazil & Ukraine.....

Jesse Johnson's Revue - Be Your Man (1985)

I've noticed that when a song is playing - that actually has instruments in it- most people don't seem to hear or aren't paying any attention to what the instruments are doing, its like their brain is telling them,  "ONLY listen to the singing.............everything else , just ignore!"
To their ears, everything is acappella!


Don't play an instrumental around most people, their brains will explode.........
or they'll just say "that's boring". 
The instruments can move you as much as the vocals, what do you think they are there for?

"They seem so removed from romance"

"They've been broken in churches and schools,
And molded to middle-class circumstance"




Some of the most truthful lyrics ever written...

Rufus feat. Chaka Khan-Pack'd My Bags

Just once, I would like to hear  Miles Davis, or Joni Mitchell or Chaka - for that matter- BLASTING in one of the endless cars that ride past my bedroom window, instead of the usual vile, gangsta or whatever  music.....


(Chaka mentioned Miles & Joni when talking about what she listens to in her car)

"Family"

No one in my family even knows I have a blog.
Not the only thing they don't know about me. 




Why should I tell them... they don't deserve to know the real me.......

S.O.S. Band - Tell Me If You Still Care

This song gets better & better, the more you listen, &  you just want it to go on & on......

Tim Buckley- Jungle Fire

The Police - When The World Is Running Down HD

"Turn on my VCR
Same one I've had for years
James Brown on the T.A.M.I. show
Same tape I've had for years"

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

"In World War 2, this country could use its news media to propagandize & make the whole  American public love the Russians & the Chinese, & hate the Germans & the Japanese, &  then after the war, they changed it & made the American public love the Germans & the Japanese & HATE the Russians & the Chinese, which shows they can make the American public love whom they will & hate whom they will. "           Malcolm X




Edited Dec. 2018-  2018 & this is still true.  Russia & China aren't the problem!
