The Music Thread

[BO]

WTF. We all know the global economy is going to hell in a hand basket. So, like passengers on the Titanic, I propose this thread to calm our nerves as the ship goes down. Let's share some music--videos, or MP3's.

Britney or Bob, Madonna or Mozart, whatever floats your boat (yuk).

Wanna share an MP3? You can usually find a link to your song here...

somewhere i have the 45 of this song, it was a strong influence on my growing up.

[Cal]

Well if we're delving that far back, here is my very first 45 ... I must have been about 8 years old and I was absolutely mad about this song.

Am I being too Freudian in instantly perceiving a double entendre about a boy's lollipop?

"Weeping" written by a reluctant soldier drafted into the army to quell anti apartheid riots during the 1980's ...

I knew a man who lived in fear
It was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near
Behind his house, a secret place
Was the shadow of the demon he could never face
He built a wall of steel and flame
And men with guns, to keep it tame
Then standing back, he made it plain
That the nightmare would never ever rise again
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain

It doesn’t matter now
It’s over anyhow
He tells the world that it’s sleeping
But as the night came round
I heard its lonely sound
It wasn’t roaring, it was weeping

And then one day the neighbors came
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame
They stood around outside the wall
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all
"My friends," he said, "We’ve reached our goal
The threat is under firm control
As long as peace and order reign
I’ll be damned if I can see a reason to explain
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain"
