There's nothing wrong with being correct; whether it's morally, mathematically, logically or politically. Censorship is a different matter altogether, you never had any need to warn me against it. Let's see, who's waging the war these days against "Happy Holidays"?

I don't know why, but that just seemed apropos in here.

Teacher. Leave those kids alone. (Just bought the song on iTunes...and also bought the album, Dark Side of the Moon. Wow! Now I'm thinking I should've bought The Wall in its entirety. Anyone recommend it?)

huh and here i expected youd know that youre only allowed to listen to pink floyd on vinyl played on a belt driven record player that sits on at least 6 dampers and big ass granite plate gets amplified through tubes and played back through 2 and exactly 2 speaker each of which cost more than your average ferrari
its the law or something

[trish]

Damit! I didn't know, man. I didn't know.

I highly recommend the whole album. It works very well together as a concept. The major place I listened to this, was in an army barracks. The freedom expressed throughout the album, was a counter balance from the prevailing military atmosphere. If you do get the entire album, consider listening to the songs in the original album order, to get an idea of the larger flow.

Are you saying you're new to Pink Floyd??? You've missed something special. By all means, grab The Wall (which also contains the well-known Comfortably Numb) and Wish You Were Here and Animals as well. You may have to get a bit deeper into the band before you fall in love with Umagumma and it's classic track 'Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered together in a Cave and Groovin With a Pict', hehe.

ENJOY!

I can't say I approve of changing any author's words, especially a giant like Twain. Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer should be required reading in High School. I'd suggest Letters From The Earth as well.

Are you saying you're new to Pink Floyd???yep :oops: thanks for the recommendation. You too, Yodajazz. (Anyone know the woman who sang those great gospel-like riffs in Dark Side?)

Bowdlerizing works of art to protect the innocent is a conservative impulse (not to be confused with satirical uses and aesthetic uses of art). It goes back to when the Christian churches plastered fig leaves over the genitalia of Greco-Roman sculptures and Renaissance paintings. Since then, easily offended souls have expurgated Shakespeare, bowdlerized Gibbon and now Mark Twain. It’s always for the sake of the innocent. There's nothing wrong with self-restraint or encouraging others to exercise self-restraint with the goal of minimizing offense to others. There's nothing wrong with making sure the government observes the first amendment's establishment clause. It's another thing entirely to vandalize another person's artistic expression. If a teacher doesn't think her class can handle Twain's language, then he just shouldn't assign Mark Twain.

[trish]

Fuckin' hippies are the best kind.

[onmyknees]

I was reading something about the recession hitting baby-boomers, some to the point of homelessness.

I thought to myself that those homeless boomers finally achieved their 'anti-establishment' goals and that I hoped they're happy. The rebellious children have finally made something of themselves lol.

Seriously, this recession couldn't have happened to a better generation than the hippy generation. I LOVE it. With few exceptions, I hope the hippies are enjoying the fruits of their spoiled nature.

[russtafa]

reap what you have sew'n

[trish]

You guys are just upset that those old hippies got way more pussy then you ever will.


'anti-establishment' goalsThis from the assholes who declare a new government conspiracy every news-cycle, who display only hatred for their government, declare it's time to tear it down and start anew, talk secession, instigate violence against our representatives in government by recommending second amendment solutions, and who want to repeal every other amendment of the Constitution except the one about the right to carry tiny-penis compensation.

Not sure who you're referring to Trish. If you're talking about heated rhetoric, I assure you there's plenty of blame to go around. You seem to give a pass to those who for 2 years tried to marginalize a political movement by calling them racists, decedents of the KKK, ignorant hicks. The intent was to negate a movement that could potentially disrupt the balance of political power, so all bets were off on tactics. In fact....the tactic was over the top hyperbole.
That's corrosive, so your lecture about heated rhetoric plays both ways baby. You yourself don't traffic in that bilge, but don't dare lecture me about nasty, corrosive, hateful rhetoric. I can turn into MSNBC from 7-10 each and every night and get a belly full. Ever listen to Milke Malloy or Randi Rhodes? Is there too much of it....obviously. And for someone who's mind I respect, you have short term memory loss. The rhetoric during the final 2 years of the Bush Administration was as dangerous, and vile as I've ever seen or heard.
I don't seem to recall you jumping up on that soapbox when shots were fired into Eric Cantor's congressional office . You're better than this post Trish. You don't rebut heated rhetoric by engaging in it.

[trish]

[
Not sure who you're referring to...]I [was] referring to hippies and their HA critics [i.e. those with anti-government agendas shouting it's okay if there are baby boomers living on the streets because some of them, in their youth, had anti-establishment agendas. Oh the Hypocrisy!]. So what are you on about?

[Cuchulain]

I was actually going to ignore our little REICHwingers. If they can't treasure the great music that came out of the 60's youth movement, then I actually feel sorry for them. I don't expect them to acknowledge hippie/yippie success in ending an immoral, illegal war or opening the public's eyes to corporate and government corruption, environmental devastation or even the start of the sexual revolution, but to not be able to enjoy all that incredible music is just too sad.

Then I saw this:

Sheeesh.

Well, I guess we were trying to negate a movement led by Dick Armey and other far-right operatives that could have allowed the REICHwingers to return to the over the top criminality of the Bush/Cheney years.

Hateful rhetoric from KO and Rachel? I don't see anything hateful about shining a spotlight on the lies, crimes and hypocrisy of the far right. I'd love to see any of the noisiest pundits of the right debate Rachel or even Ms. Rhodes in an open setting.

The 'rhetoric' during the last 2 years of Bush? Please...pointing out glaring crimes is not rhetoric. Yes, I realize that folks blinded by the Right will never admit that anything Dubya's regime did was illegal, despite all the potent evidence.

Shots fired at little Eric's office? I don't recall anyone on the left screeching for 'second amendment remedies'. How can anyone deny that such talk was a thinly veiled call to arms?

"You don't rebut heated rhetoric by engaging in it." Isn't that what you just tried to do?

[russtafa]

I remember when i was a kid we laughed at the hippies looking like such jokes to us.The punks used to yell burn the hippies

[trish]

I remember when i was a kid we laughed at the hippies looking like such jokes to us.The punks used to yell burn the hippies When I was growing up all the kids thought the affectations of all the old punk rockers were absolutely hilarious. We laughed and sneered. But I'm older now and can appreciate the aesthetics and politics of diverse "schools."

[russtafa]

I don't have much respect for hippies but at least they had a philosophy .This generations youth cults have no philosophy's just chaos.
