In the Shuffling Madness! Radio station calls for Jethro Tull boycott "I hate to see the American flag hanging out of every bloody station wagon, out of every SUV, every little Midwestern house in some residential area," Anderson was quoted as saying. "It's easy to confuse patriotism with nationalism. Flag waving ain't gonna do it." Symbols are funny things. I always remind people that the first thing they do for a seriel killer on his day in court is dress him up in a suit, give him a close shave and cut his hair nice and short, all visual symbols of respectibility. Of course he's still a seriel killer. The flag is a symbol of freedom, but like all symbols, it gets hijacked by those that want to promote an agenda. Put your money where you mouth is I say. Like Ian said. Either you support the ideals of America or you revert to a "my country take it or leave it" mentality. ... and boy, little did I know that when I started the list of artist speaking out against the current climate of jingoism in America and the Bush Administration's (brainless, dazed, deficient, dense, dim, dodo, doltish, dopy, dotterel, dull, dumb, dummy, foolish, futile, gullible, half-baked, half-witted, idiotic, ill-advised, imbecilic, inane, indiscreet, insensate, irrelevant, irresponsible, laughable, loser, ludicrous, meaningless, mindless, moronic, naive, nonsensical, obtuse, pointless, puerile, rash, senseless, short-sighted, simple, simple-minded, slow, sluggish, stolid, stupefied, thick, thickheaded, trivial, unintelligent, unthinking, witless) policies did I conceive that the list might grow to epic proportions. It hasn't yet. But fer christ's sakes... Ian Anderson? Who would have thought? Anyways... classic rock rules. Right now I got some King Crimson playing... right on! | |
