You people suck.
Lauren Bacall. Wow. Go Lauren,

King's nose on Live. Wow.
How long can you work at a place
that plays Beethoven's 5th every
time you enter something correctly
at the cash register, Ride of the
Valkyries when the fries are done
and "Zzzzt! (wrong answer)" when
something doesn't add up. Aargh!
Mariah Carey, they still let you
talk???
"What's wrong with asking people
to not discuss private details of
things that are private to you?"
Yes! She said that. OK Mariadolt,
Let's discuss private details
that aren't.

I was listening to these, and thought
you might put these in the next
ATI. These were unusual songs,
in the fact that when they were
put out, they very likely would
have been banned. Country radio
didn't touch them. So they didn't
sell well. Talking about war and
making a stand just wouldn't have
went over well with the Grand ole
Opry crowd in 1970.

Jimmy's Road
Written & Recorded
By Willie Nelson (c)1968
This is Jimmy's road
Where Jimmy liked to play
And this is Jimmy's grass
Where Jimmy liked to lay around.
This is Jimmy's tree
That Jimmy liked to climb
And Jimmy went to war
And something changed his mind around.
This is the battleground
Where Jimmy learned to kill
Now Jimmy has a trade
And Jimmy knows it well, too well.
vc
Where Jimmy's body lies
When a soldier falls
Jimmy's body dies and dies.
(repeat first verse)

Minstrel Man
by Eddie Rager and Stan Haas
Recorded by Willie Nelson, 1970
Oh, wandering minstrel man
Singing songs of strife
How many times have you been busted
For showing signs of life?
Oh, singing minstrel man
Sometimes you get the blues
When people try to stop you
From singing your songs of truth
(chorus)
And you sing that you're
Tired of seeing your brothers
Killin' one another
there is silver in the hall
But there's no silver in the door
But nobody wants to hear your songs of love
Nobody wants to hear your songs of love.
Oh, singing minstrel man
Trying to do your part
Telling everyone that they're blind
Until they can see with their hearts
Oh, wanderin' minstrel man
You get your clothes from the Goodwill
And your soul will never be owned
By a worthless dollar bill.
(repeat chorus)
Nobody wants to hear your songs of love.
------------------------------------
Where Do You Stand?
Written & Recorded By
Willie Nelson (c)1970
From somewhere behind you
You come with your suitcase in hand
Hey, what's your plan?
Where do you stand?
The world's still divided
And you're still undecided,
decide if you can
Hey, what's your plan?
Where do you stand?
(Chorus)
Where do you stand?
Where do you stand?
Hey, what's your plan?
Where do you stand?
It's time for commitments
It's time for a showing of hands
Hey, what's your plan?
Where do you stand?
Surely there's someone with courage
To say where he stands
Hey, what's your plan?
Where do you stand?
(repeat Chorus 2x)

I'm not sure how long ago this
happened, whether just now, or last
year or what? The editor and
publisher of an underground newspaper
on the Wisconsin Dells High School
campus just got expelled 5 years.
Now the ACLU's considering it, and
the lawyer of the student is on
National Public radio right now.
I wonder what Nat Hentoff has
to say about this one?
"This is so far fetched, I
just can't even believe we're
talking about it," said the attorney.
Does anyone know the date of the
expulsion?

Marco-
I'm looking for someone
who is flexible, very easy
to work with & open to alot
of different types of music.
It sounds like you're kind of
set in your ways & that
wouldn't work with me.
Thanks for responding,
Mark (818)

Hi Marco,
noooooo it's not REM's version of
Superman. I froze when I saw the
ad, but it's my 99.99% right
guess that after turning down
$2M from Bill Gates to use
"It's the End of the World"
they would never sell their
music to IBM (and man,I would
be one disappointed fan of their
righteous music)...and yup, it is
a cover of the Clique's song. My
guess it was the work of some evil
A&R man :-)
Cheers,

This is a series of files about

I met at TAP.
I was a regular at TAP until
everyone but the "950 Kode Kids",

those uneducated enough to not know, is

I wholeheartedly agree with your
Four Arguments For the Elimination
of Television positive review. It's
one of the 10 best books I've read
this decade.
I'll share what I wrote about
it in a bibliography I made in 1992.
Jerry left a $300,000 a year job at
Madison Avenue in advertising to
produce a 30-minute documentary for
the Hopi people. His book gets to the
root of why our consumerism is
literally killing us and our mother
earth.

January, 1999
To the Mexicans living in foreign
countries:
To the Committees of Solidarity
with the Zapatista struggle:
To the Men and Women of
the five continents:
Brothers and Sisters:
For this year of 1999, the EZLN has
launched a new initiative of dialogue
and peace calling for a mobilization,
both in Mexico and in the rest of the
world, that aims to achieve the
recognition of the rights of indigenous
peoples and the end to the war of
extermination. An important step in
this mobilization is to carry out a
Consultation among all Mexicans,
wherever they may live, the 21st of
March, 1999.
The Mexican government stubbornly
continues not to fulfill the accords
that it has signed recognizing
indigenous rights, and has chosen
openly to take the path of violence
to try to settle the conflict, as
the recent massacres in Acteal and
El Bosque so clearly demonstrate.
With the goal of masking its war of
extermination, Zedillo government
has mounted a propaganda campaign
abroad to improve its image
internationally and to decieve
peoples, governments, and human rights
organizations.
Zedillo's government is striving to
convince the world that there is
no war in Mexico's southeast,
that his government wants to enter
into dialogue with the EZLN, and
that it is the EZLN itself that
refuses to settle the conflict
peacefully.
<snip>
Therefore, because we know that this
campaign of lies will fail, today we
convoke the International Consultation
For the Recognition of Indigenous
Peoples' Rights and the End to the
War of Extermination.
We call upon all Mexicans over the age
of 12 who live in foreign countries
to organize themselves and participate
in the Consultation for the Recognition
of Indigenous Peoples' Rights and the
End to the War of Extermination on
the 21st of March, 1999.
<snip>
<anyone wanting><the whole letter>
<just ask>
Therefore
In order to stop the war of extermination,
In order to achieve the recognition of
indigenous rights in Mexico,
In order to stop the persecution of
which the excluded are the object,
In order to demand respect for difference,
In order to demand a world into which all
worlds can fit,
We call an International Campaign for
the Excluded of the World.
21Mar99.
DEMOCRACY!
LIBERTY!
JUSTICE!

Clinton Protestors with their mouths
taped shut give the victory sign and
carry a large Juanita Broadreich
banner as they take part in a peaceful
riot Friday in Hamburg, Conn., demanding
release of the famous "Watergate

he will only release 9 minutes of
footage involving him with Ted Kennedy,
Ms. Broadreich and 3 undisclosed furry
animals.
Protesters were heard chanting,
"1,2,3,4...give us eighty minutes more!"

TRADING UP
<SPAWN> Toronto. by Cal Nuck. Special to
Prime Anarchist Sports World Newz 2nite.
Toronto traded Roger Clemens, Garth Brooks,
a roll of duct-tape and controlling
interest in The Money Store to the New York
Yank-Mees for David Wells, Graeme Lloyd,
Homer Simpson, Jeb Bush, Salmon Rushdie, a
Sammy Sosa home-run spitball and 1% share
in a proposed zinc and copper mine of
location undisclosed.
"You said a mouthful, toots." were David
Cone's only words, unless you count "It's
a bombshell," "I'm floored by this kind of
news," and "It's the only deal that could
have been made."
In the strangest contract ryder Sports
World News has EVER seen Clemens and Brooks
will each be allowed to play for both teams
until after the all-star game, and during
rivalry matches the two will be allowed to
sing "Oh Canada" and "Dirty Drinking Song"
at the games' beginnings as duets.

ASH WEDNESDAY TO ALL --
AND TO ALL A GOURD, RIGHT?
Parody. To the Tune of:
the old caucasian spiritual:
Once to Every Man and Nation.
Em B7 Em B7 Em
Once the myth becomes a nightmare
G D Em Am B7 Em
Wherein church abuses lie
Em B7 Em B7 Em
Some ordained become false prophets
G D Em Am B7 Em
Blinded to the real most high.
G D Em B7
Some will say you work within it.
Em Am Em Am B7
Others cry out "topple down."
Em B7 Em B7 Em
Babylon will fall unaided
G D Em Am B7 Em
Safety has no golden crown.
When your leaders all disgrace you
Time will come the youth shall lead
Truth prevails slow but surely
Turning you away from greed.
Piecing back the myth together
Look to what your elders taught
Peace can't come when love's perverted
Victory's only in battle not fought.
