November, 2006
Volume VIII Issue ii
Washington, DC
This is an amalgum of an old piece by Phil Rockstroh and myself and an essay by Phil. I recommend
you check out this and any of the fine essays
by Phil Rockstroh. CLICK Here
http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Nov06/Rockstroh02.htm
So here it is:
I thought we had left the 70s well behind
but here I am stuck in another gas line
I pulled out and wouldn't ya know
I rear ended a 1973 cricket green pinto
And I felt the 70s grip even tighter -
As that car went up like a disposable lighter
It blew apart as it did explode
And an 8 track tape hurled through the air,
crashed through my windshield and lodged in my frontal lobe
And 70s and the present began to merge
as I heard myself singing these words:
I ain't gon bump no more with no big fat woman
What you gon' do with all that junk?
All that junk inside your trunk?
I ain't gon bump no more with no big fat woman
I'm a get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my hump.
Shake Shake shake, Shake Shake shake
My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps
She's a brick house
An unpopular war drags on, gas prices rise and rise, as a cloud of scandal gathers over Washington
D.C.
Sound familiar?
At times, it seems as though the 1970s never ended. Perhaps we really did sleep through the 80s &
90s after taking a dose of Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton's Quaalude-laced, faux populist snake
oil.
And now we're awakening, hungover, groggy, still in the midst of that ugly and odious era.
At least that's the encrypted message I've been able to decipher, using my Super-Secret, Decoder
Mood Ring, special limited, Karl Rove edition. George W. Bush and Karl Rove are as much products of
the 1970s as Herpes Simplex Retrovirus.
Historically, the world will regard The Bush Administration as the Dacron Polyester of American
presidencies: nothing more than the Pet Rock of the American plutocratic class.
Do a little dance Make a little love
a little muskrat love
May I have your attention please?
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
We're gonna have a problem here..
lets do the time warp again
Ooops I did it again
wake me up when September ends
Being intelligent these days is like being sexually active in the 1950's
Rove, Rumsfeld, Cheney - these ruthless men are all Nixon's progeny. They all got away scot-free.
In fact, they prospered in the cynical post-Watergate era as they continue to perpetrate their
crimes right up
to the present time. But, it is we, the American public, who conjured these psychopaths with our
ceaseless incantations of denial.
Even after Nixon was exiled to San Clemente and we took up the mantra "... Let's move on ... Our
long national nightmare is over," We Americans clung to the self-deception that we were mere
bystanders to
the crimes of Vietnam and Watergate, otherwise a million Vietnamese corpses would have risen
accusingly in our dreams -- as hundreds of thousands of Iraqi dead would haunt our sleep tonight.
We, Baby-Boomer teenagers, were primed for proto-fascism by our constant denial and need for
escape. We were not the progeny of The Woodstock Nation, as the authoritarian types of the era had
feared. We didn't use drugs to expand our awareness nor as acts of social or political rebellion -
rather we used them as apolitical agents of anesthetization.
From our pinball machine distractions, to our muscle car imperialism, to the
self-proclaimed-edginess of the so-called FM radio revolution (that was, in reality, the advent of corporate rock).
Just as we call ourselves hip and trendy on Rupert Murdoch's Myspace.
So ya wanna be a rock and roll star? Listen now to what I say
Hey now, you're an All Star get your game on, get played
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on, get paid
The band is just fantastic that is really what we think and Oh, by the
way, Which one is pink?
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started.
As the years trundled on, our customized vans shag carpet chrome plated chain link steering wheel
and quadraphonic sound system would become Mini Vans with its self ejecting cup holder, GPS
tracking and an XM satellite radio playing the same songs we played on our 8 Track.
The accouterments of Imperial power have grown so large in direct proportion to the degree our
individual visions have been rendered so small and corrupt.
The United States was transformed from a republic, conceived to be governed by way of democratic
discourse, into a center devoid archipelago of shopping malls, bereft of a public square. An
internalized McMansion has supplanted the towering glory of our internal Sequoia trees; hence, our roots
can no longer reach deep down, our branches no longer lift towards the sky of possibility -
reducing sequoia forests to toothpicks in order to pick from our teeth the bits of charred flesh of
those slaughtered in its imperial wars.
Me and you and a dog named boo
Who let the dogs out who who who who who who who
Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!
Go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, shorty
It's your birthday
We gon' party like it's your birthday
We gon' sip Bacardi like it's your birthday
We used to call it plagiarism - now we call it the Lime Wire.
The empire has become a suburban pothead teenager, who, as the years have passed, has transformed
into a self-absorbed Starbuck's Latte-slurping, Prozac popping consumer zombie, afflicted by a
mindless appetite to devour the resources of the entire planet in the manner he devoured the food
from his mother's pantry when he had a bad case of the reefer munchies.
Through the ensuing decades, we've continued to deceive ourselves into believing the corruption
and embarrassments of the 1970's -- from the crimes of Watergate to the inane-ness of The Gong Show
(the American Idol of its time) -- had nothing to do with us. As a consequence, it comes down to
this: we didn't learn a damn thing during the 70s, therefore, we've condemned ourselves to relive
it.
Yes, it is high time to strike the gong for Karl Rove and his pathetic, dancing, feces-flinging
pet monkey act that is presently stinking up the stage of The Gong Show of the American political
system.
George Bush, "I vote you off the Island."
Dick Cheney, "You're fired."
But next, we should turn off the TV, log off the computer, walk to the
closest mirror, look ourselves in the eye, and repeat the phrase, "I am
not a crook."

Galludet:
It seems that very few are covering this story correctly. These days it
seems we listen to the news not so much to be informed but to be
affirmed. We have left news and right news. Both miss the mark. The left
LOVES a story of protest that wins and in its fervor to find one it
really missed the mark here. Please see CLICK HERE

My video:
"Somethngs in the Air but it is not on the Air Waves" made Neil Young's
top ten list of best anti war videos. Upon reaching its highest mark at
# 10 it was pulled from YouTube. Then it falls in the rankings. Related?
maybe - maybe not. Maybe I am paranoid. Doesn't change the fact that they ARE out to get me.

Galludet:
It seems that very few are covering this story correctly. These days it
seems we listen to the news not so much to be informed but to be
affirmed. We have left news and right news. Both miss the mark. The left
LOVES a story of protest that wins and in its fervor to find one it
really missed the mark here. Please see CLICK HERE

My video:
"Somethngs in the Air but it is not on the Air Waves" made Neil Young's
top ten list of best anti war videos. Upon reaching its highest mark at
# 10 it was pulled from YouTube. Then it falls in the rankings. Related?
maybe - maybe not. Maybe I am paranoid. Doesn't change the fact that they ARE out to get me.
