Old song, i see no reason to consider that gospel, like it is some eternal truth.
But i guess any song from the White Album is a sacrament of liberal dogmatism.
(Plus Lennon was directing that more towards Maoist, that were running about then, of whom freely denounced--that kind of revolution is BULLSHIT!.Mao was BullShit! i have always despised personality cults)
Like do you view the song like a devout Roman Catholic views any time the Pope makes a Papal Pronouncement ,ex cathedra, it is LAW, immutable infallible eternal?
Me, gawd forbid, think freely, by myself and change views sharply if i think right.
Hate to tell you the White Album's time has come and gone.
It's great nostalgia But not sacrament.
If you can tell me the world is a better place than in the 60s i will say you are crazy.
Revolution, btw, to be a real true revolution, an honest revolution is NOT planned but it is a result of a failed and uncaring middleclass that has sold their souls to the upper class.IYes, i feel, Revolution explodes forth out of despair, and the loss of fear, because life has become not worth living.
A video for you, and it is even sort of "folky": This starts with a Fist Thrust up "POWER TO THE PEACEFUL"
But the song is Yell Fire, "a revolution comes without WARNING".
youtube.com written in 2007, not in 1968/69
We are saying there will be a revolution, as it will be the last hope of the oppressed.That is if people don't get LOUD and Fuuuuking Yell Fire!!!
Revolution ain't fun, it is ugly, it is brutal, and is the Last RESORT(a resort that Thomas Jefferson said would have to come, as democracy will in time FAIL and states why, and those that don't know this about Jefferson really have NO RIGHT to even speak as if they have an understanding of Jefferson)
Revolution thus will be but the result of the abyssmal failure and the hundreds of cop outs the Libs, now increasingly the Neo-Libs, which are about as dangerous lunatics as the neo-cons.
Mind you i have been consistent, i was the renegade savaging the lib hypocrites from the time i was a teenager.
One the greatest failures in the american society has been the wimpy ever compromising sappy libs(versus we dangerous SCARY radical OUTSIDERS) such that a Lib today is basically right of center.On the congressional level they were and have been about as effective as a toothless chihuahua. Their number one obsession is THEMSELVES and the middleclass cliches they have become.
Were you carreering in 60s and 70s??????????????
Hell in '67 i was 26 and where i lived, on hot nights i slept on the fire escape, in the Village and i lived on Velveeta cheese and Wonder Bread, i swore not to do any carreering while the Nam war was on.
So Come '74, i almost didn't have a pot to p--- in.
By the way if you think i belong to any political party, think again, as i never have and never will.
i suppose you actually THINK this world will get it right by singing peace songs anmd having good vibes.
Pete Seegar is a hell of nice guy, he a saint really, but even he now admits in the past years when he on stage is thinking perhaps he really is a damn damn fool for saying you can change the world via song.
And that is a fact: Pete has humour plenty and realizes he is terminal optimist that mighty just wrong/wrong/wrong.But Pete is Pete.
A revolution will be the from despair and desperation , from a situation created by the most useless liberal movement in world history.
But i gurantee there will in no way be a better world by naive innocents going out and singing "Give Peace a Chance", and swaying and doing the peace sign.
Their just having a good time.They ain't changing nothing.
And these same SUCKERS that actually have thought through the years a they accommplished something by e-mailing their Congressman.LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kurt Vonnegut said bitterly, close to his death, that the lib peace movement against the Nam war was about as effective as a creampie.And it was much worse regards Iraq.
