What happened to the protest song?

Music is now so polished, shiny and predictable, we have forgotten to try and "say something with it"

I am getting old and like everyone, have the right to say something about the "state of control" we live under - powerless to do anything about it.

In case you hadn't noticed.



The high street is full of holes.

We are fighting a pointless actively negative war which is killing our young soldiers and which we simply cannot afford.

This war promotes and prolongs terrorism.

This is our Vietnam. Unwinnable. Pointless.

We are taxed and retaxed while the nation is not only broke but utterly bankrupt, being propped up with tax payers money and money which is simply printed.

We are spied upon by 5 million cameras.

We have thousands of petty rules and regulations - more than ever before - no wonder people are bewildered and confused.

As a nation we own almost nothing including "our" water, electricity, gas, airspace and major manufacturers.

Personal privacy is non-existent.

We are directionless.

I'm pissed off - you should be too.

Happy days

fashion

it's been pretty frustrating to see how little japanese women understand the functional meaning of designer-brands. not that i am a fanatic, but yes,
i think it's important to know what you are aiming at if, say, you buy
a designer-watch. i see t.v.-commercials advertising hermes-watches, yes,
hermes-not tag heuer, reduced from 2200 dollars to 800!!! as we know,
hermes is known for its great leather, and you don't go to a drugstore
to buy shoes. a bizarre idea crosses my mind, uniqlo is expanding these
days, but what if they start selling coffee? i sort of feel disgusted
imagining it, but who knows? i'll tell you about that when we get there...
