Whoa! I certainly didn't intend to start a riot here! Skyponydogboy, you know you are my favorite unsigned guitarist behind my good friend up here Rusty Barkley, but possibly you have missed my point slightly. All the news agencies you listed are trying to an extent to uphold the Constitutional guarantee of a "free press." You know like the right "to bear arms." Ironically the majority of those "media organizations" if not all are owned by some corporate conglomerate. Just like all the radio stations, concert halls and major record companies. To label them liberal/free would certainly be IMHO wrong.
Southpaw while certainly not disagreeing with your position maybe it could been less antagonistically presented. Perhaps a "kinder, gentler" activism is called for. The whole gist of this conversation was the difference between music of today and the 67-73 era. The "catch-words" and "buzz-phrases" of the sixties were (Stop me if I'm wrong.)- Peace and Love. Nowdays, there is absolutely not even the illusion of "love" between anybody anymore or so it seems. That was what I was lamenting in my original post.
As y'all may know I buried a friend on Tuesday. Yesterday, I was so overcome with emotion due to the fact of losing my friend and of having seen so many people the day before that I haven't seen in years. And feeling a little guilty that I didn't grab them and say, "I love you. I miss you. And I think of you often." Yes Brent there are still a lot of good "rich" people. I met several Tuesday.
Anyway Southpaw and Skydogponyboy, y'all are anything but apothetic, but perhaps ....... maybe we should care more about each other than our ideals. Well ... thanks Lana and Rowland for a place to vent. Sometimes I feel like I'm tied to the whipping post or worried about dreams I'll never see or feeling like you don't love me pretty baby and need to get that accross ..... The river?
Peace y'all.
PS Happy birthday to all those who've had them recently especially Brother Ray Charles whose is today.
