All this AT&T stuff, the possible reinstatement of the draft, etc, etc.

It's getting scary guys. The times they are a changin'......

Stand up for what you believe in. We can't let our rights be taken from us.

    My friend Michael Franti and his band Spearhead will say it in the video "YELL FIRE" a revolution a come.

    I first heard this song in London, 2 weeks after he returned from Iraq and he rocked the Jazz Cafe In Camden for 3 nights. Here are the words to his last album Yell Fire:

    Michael Franti Yell Fire Lyrics


    A revolution never come with a warning
    A revolution never sends you an omen
    A revolution just arrived like the morning
    Ring the alarm we come to wake up the snoring

    They tellin' you to worry about the future
    They tellin' you to never worry about the torture
    They tellin' you that you'll never see the horror
    Spend it all today and we will bill you tomorrow
    Three piece suits and bank accounts in Bahamas
    Wall street crime will never send you to the slammer
    Tell all the children in the arms of their mummas
    The F-15 is a homocide bomber

    TV commercials for a popping pill culture
    Drug companies circling like a vulture
    An Iraqi babies with a G.I. Joe father
    Ten years from now is anybody gonna bother?

    Yell Fire, yo, yo, yo
    Here we come here we come
    Fire, yo, yo , yo, yo
    Revolution a comin'
    Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo


    Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
    Everyone addicted to the same nicotine
    Everyone addicted to the same gasoline
    Everyone addicted to a technicolour screen
    Everybody tryin' to get their hands on the same green
    From the banks of the river to the banks of the greedy
    All the riches taken back by needy
    We come from the country and we come from the city
    You play us on the record, you can play us on the CD
    All the shit you've given us is fertilizer
    The seeds that we planted you can never brutalize them
    Tell the corporation they can never globalize it
    Like Peter Tosh said Legalize it
    Girls and boys hear the bass and treble
    Rumble in the speakers and it make you wanna rebel
    Throw your hands up, take it to another level
    And you can never, ever, ever make a deal with the devil

    Yell Fire, yo, yo, yo
    Here we come here we come
    Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
    Revolution a comin'
    Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo
    Fire, yo, yo, yo, yo

    Peace

    Decisions made by the people for their benefit. Is that too much to ask?

    Out of fairness to both sides if this means war is necessary then it's time to re evaluate what is really important in American life...Canada incuded.

    Honestly though...don't take what I have to say at face value either.

    Contrary to popular belief I carry respect for those that oppose me which is why I press the envelope with them sometimes on order to hold things up to the light for my own satisfaction and conviction.

    I want to be wrong, but I can't support killing. I just cant. There has to be another way.

    Here's the direct link to SPEARGEAR. Also here's another song from their last album called Time To Go Home.

    The Yell Fire album was written after a 2 week long visit to Baghdad and Israel and then another visit back a year later. He also filmed a documentary called I Know I'm Not Alone. Check it out, I'm one of the mods on the forum board.

    If a revolution is not coming, I can bet something is going to come like Franti again says in this song Bomb The World.

    I couldn't help myself:D

    Call out the instigator
    Because there's something in the air
    We've got to get together sooner or later
    Because the revolutions here
    And you know it's right
    And you know that it's right
    We have got to get it together
    We have got to get it together now

    I would love for it to happen, but honestly, the AT&T and Draft issues aren't new. My guess is that this will all be a non-issue in two weeks, and that shows the sad state of our Union. Here's wishing I'm wrong...

    Direct Democracy.

    It's not totally worthless. Use it only to destroy, not create. Remove bad laws, bad politicians, and bad governmental constructs via individual votes?

    nobody pays attention to any of this. next week when britney spears gets in another car wreck or lindsay lohan checks out of rehab, that will be front page news and this at&t and draft stuff will all be forgotten.

    nice man....a tight and simple groove... yea, I was diggin it.

    Liked the protester sign "I can't believe I'm still protesting this shit" and the Peter Tosh reference.

    I would have done one handed 16th notes on the hi-hat at that tempo..but hey... bla bla tech talk...

    cool vid

    I liked that sign also, I'll have to use it at the next peace protest march here in DC slated for Sept 15th. Sometimes it feels weird that I'm still protest such prolonged events. I also like the "Granny for Peace Brigade...No Pre-emptive War" sign. the My favorite sign is the

    "Fighting Wars for Peace,
    Is like Fucking for Virginity"    .

    At the shows he emphazies that Peter Tosh reference even though he doesn't smoke anymore. Yes the bare foot wonder, 6ft 6 above sea level he known to his fans, "Spearits".

    You must be a drummer, well if your tech suggestion means more up tempo from the drums, well I think he had when they first played it back in 6/29/04. However, in the recording process done in part in Kingston, Jamaica it was changed to to it's current format. Love the song but I've heard it live at least 50 times live now but a new album is due early 2008. Yell Fire was more reggae this next one will be more rock.

    They'll be in Canada but out west Vancouver, Edmonton and some other places out there but they'll be here with another east coast swing in Sept/Oct after a trip to Australia.

    Peace

    Here's one for the revolution. From the album ZIETGEIST appropriately called "UNITED STATES" video taped at the Filmore in SF. This album is sure to be among the album of the year.

    Album cover...ZEITGEIST


    SMASHING PUMPKINS LYRICS

    "United States"

    Tired eyes
    Closed for days
    There's no regret
    'Cause there's no place
    I don't know
    What I believe
    But if I feel safe
    What do I need

    A home
    A home
    A home

    Revolution
    Revolution
    Revolution blues
    What will they do
    Revolution
    Revolution
    Revolution blues
    What will they do to me
    What will they do to me
    What will they do to me
    What will they do to me

    Dulcet tongues
    Whisper fast
    The future yearns
    Right now's the past
    Rouse me soon
    The end draws nigh
    Who's side are you on
    Your blood you cannot buy

    Revolution
    Revolution
    Revolution blues
    What will they do
    Revolution
    Revolution
    Revolution blues
    What will they do to you

    Well I
    I feel alright
    So tonight
    I got to ask you why
    Why deny it
    It's no surprise
    I've got to survive

    Freedom shines the light ahead
    I'll lead the last charge to bed
    I said my last rights
    I don't have to run scared no more

    Fight
    I wanna fight
    I wanna fight a revolution
    Tonight
    I wanna fight
    I wanna fight a revolution
    Tonight
    At the light
    At the light
    Do you wanna watch me die

    Let me be something good
    Let me prove something real like I should
    Let me embrace every single living thing
    Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood

    Peace
    Earle

    Only SHEEP think this way. And from my experience on the MT, we aren't sheep here. Let the sheep of America have their Britney Spears. Mainstream media is for sheep.
    If real people like us get angry enough, then it will be time for a revolution. IT'S time to overrule our leaders!!!

    Now we just need EVERYONE on our side and pull that wool from over the sheeps' eyes so they can finally see what's REAL and what's not!

    It goes way deeper than AT&T... I hope you already knew that.

    Either way, I am in! Let's meet up if u r serious ppl! If you can't even do that, then you can't even hope for revolution.

    Okay, when the empire falls, there will be a huge power vacuum. All of us anarcho-syndicalists, anarchists, and socialists will have to stand together!

    (notice that I am joking here... only to make a few points) but.. really... if you are interested in meeting up... hit me back.

    Wait until Iran kicks into full swing....then sit back and wait for it.

    There's a reason they keep talking about the draft.

    It's to soften people up the idea. Everything for a reason.

    Keep in mind they want to fire up the draft....and badly.
