There was a great band from the late 80's called Living Colour. They had a song called "cult of personality" I went back and found it. Great song, great band. Take a listen to the lyrics or watch the video. What other songs would you list as being prophetic or relevant for our times..?
And during the few moments that we have left, we want to talk, right down to earth, in a language that everybody here can easily understand. (Malcolm X)
Look in my eyes, what do you see? the Cult of Personality I know your anger, I know your dreams I've been everything you wanna be ohhh I'm the Cult of Personality Like Mussolini and Kennedy I'm the Cult of Personality the Cult of Personality the Cult of Personality
Neon lights, Nobel Prize When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies You won't have to follow me Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be I'm the smiling face of your T.V. ohh I'm the Cult of Personality I exploit you; still you love me I tell you one and one makes three ohh I'm the Cult of Personality Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi ohh I'm the Cult of Personality the Cult of Personality the Cult of Personality
Neon lights, Nobel Prize When a leader speaks, that leader dies You won't have to follow me Only you can set you free
(Guitar solo)
You gave me fortune, you gave me fame You gave me power in your God's name I'm every person you need to be ohh I'm, the, Cult, of, Per, Son, Al, Ity
I am the Cult of (x8) Personality
Ask not what your country can do for you
(John F. Kennedy) The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself. (Franklin D. Roosevelt)
“The Dawn of Correction” only made it to #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1965, whereas “Eve of Destruction” made it to number one.
It’s not technically cool, the riff of the song is great, but his solo is just noise.
...or this one when you watch CNN:

Yep. Hard on the nerves.
A riff is not a solo - the ‘something new’ I learned today.
Or should be....
Vernon Reid was named by Rolling Stone’s 100 great guitarists.

We all know Obama is a communist who wants to rule America the same as Stalin. Just like Stalin and Mao Obama has a personality cult and his presidency will lead to the deaths of millions of innocent babies slaughtered in the womb since he’s a huge pro-abort. So what do we do with this guy? TEA PARTY!
