Alice Cooper "No more Mr. Liberal Guy"

[georgesbluegirl]

Alot quieter! HA!

Cute

Lacking some of the best popular music in history, is what I meant.

I know, I was just kidding!

[georgesbluegirl]

Haha I know...rock on, sister!

Cooper isn't saying rock stars should avoid speaking on political issues...he's saying that rock stars should avoid PUBLICLY endorsing political figures.

Comments on the 1960s - were YOU alive during the 1960? I WAS.

I hate to say it, much of that nonsense is what is wrong with us today.

Course, was early 1960s when prayer was taken out of school. Enough said!

Let's say someone runs for president in the sixties who publicly announces that all involvement in Vietnam will be ceased, troops brought home, if he (or she) is elected. Is Bob Dylan going to support that candidate? Publicly? OF COURSE!

Aside from all the great music that came from the sixties, without the sixties there would be no feminist movement (even those who hate the movement can't deny the good things that it did in terms of equalization) and lest we forget...NO CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT!

Prayer (public prayer, that is) SHOULDN'T be in schools. The opportunity should be there for students to use as they see fit, such as the "moment of silence for meditation or prayer" in the morning. But our country is not about forcing religion on people (at least, that's what I believed before Bush was prez... )

George Harrison on the evils of high taxation.

Taxman

by Beatles (George Harrison)

Let me tell you how it will be

There's one for you, nineteen for me

'cause I'm the taxman,

yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five percent appear too small

Be thankful I don't take it all

'cause I'm the taxman,

yeah, I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street

If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat

If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat

If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet

Taxman

'Cause I'm the taxman,

Yeah, I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for (ha ha Mr. Wilson)

If you don't want to pay some more (ha ha Mr. Heath)

'cause I'm the taxman,

yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die

Declare the pennies on your eyes

'cause I'm the taxman,

yeah, I'm the taxman

And you're working

[dgolvach]

Some how the last few Lyrics didn't make it. on to my post "And your working FOR NO ONE BUT ME"".

GREAT TUNE!

[georgesbluegirl]

YOU ARE AWESOME. George Harrison is my absolute hero...and I've already had THAT argument back in the Catholicism thread. Here's to a late great man!

Alice Cooper didn't come along till the late seventies/early eighties so he sort of missed the period of time where a LOT of rock was about politics.

Actually, Alice Cooper (the band) recorded under that name in 1970, their first official record under that name. (They recorded an album the year before together but the name of the band was "The Nazz". Not to be confused with Todd Rundgren's band of the same name.)

The band and person, both called Alice Cooper, were out and about in a big way during the early 70's with albums like "killer" and the like. He was all about the music of the 60's but wanted to send a message in a different way. He was very much influenced by the music and spirit of rebellion of the '60's, but thought he would make a unique impact with the blending of his music with horror movie-like scenery.

He , along with many others then (and now) always had a penchant for the truth. One of his main problems (like mine) was back then, he was too drunk to have anyone pay attention to the message.

I Praise God that He is good and Saves us from our ways.
