Angela Davis to Speak

John Lennon Was awfully Naive wasn't he?
The lyrics read like they were written by Yoko
though the liner notes list it as being Lennon/Ono

His Earlier and later works were much better.
The "Plastic Ono Band" lp was great as was "Walls and bridges"
and "Mind Games" I really liked "Rock 'N Roll"
even though it was a contractual obligation album.
When John was out from under Yoko's thumb and free to make Pop records he was quite good.
"Two Virgins","Life With The Lions" and the "Wedding Album" are completely unlistenable
But they are a feather in the cap for a Beatles collector.
"Life With The Lions" features a recording of J&Y's first baby's heartbeat just before she miscarried. Tragic? Yes, self serving? most definitely
He should have stayed married to Cynthia.



Just For Giggles here are the lyrics for Angela

Angela
by John Lennon/Yoko Ono

Sister, there's a wind that never dies
Sister, we're breathing together
Sister, our love and hopes forever keep on moving oh so
slowly in the world
They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything but the jail house key
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything but equality

Angela, can you hear the earth is turning?
Angela, the world watches you
Angela, you soon will be returning to your sisters and
brothers in the world

Sister, you're still a people teacher
Sister, your word reaches far
Sister, there's a million different races but we all share
the same future in the world

They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything but the jail house key
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything but equality

Angela, they put you in prison
Angela, they shot down your man
Angela, you're one of the millions of political prisoners
in the world

[S.O.S121.500]

Now they're called progressives or activists or environmentalists or democrats.

[S.O.S121.500]

An anniversary of sorts I see......FReep on FRiend.

"“When many young people decide to join the military service in order to avoid the inevitability of a stint in prison, it should cause us to wonder whether we should not try to introduce better alternatives.”

How about "get a job"?

[RedMonqey]

"I guess her sympathy is only for certain kinds of prisoners:"

Well, certainly you must be a victim of the oppressive Capitalist/Corperate mindset that has corrupted society.

Only Euro-centric capitalists pigs or their ignorant criminal stooges were in the Soviet penal system, awaiting to be "reeducated" with the gentle guidance by the leaders of the proletariat.

Or die, which ever came first.

Communism is the Workers Paradize, doncha know? (sarcasm)

[Brainhose]

That's not actually her is it?

[scan58]

They gave you everything but equality

Her parents were communists, too, and fairly well off financially. They sent her to school in Germany and France in her teens. Some are more equal than others, I suppose.

[danmar]

Is this ol' bag still around?!

[Bernard Marx]

Thanks. One more reason to love RR.

[kaehurowing]

How come nobody ever says "communist" anymore?
It would "raise the specter of McCarthyism" to mention she at least once ran on a CPUSA ticket with Gus Hall. Therefore I won't.


Isn't this the same CPUSA which now endorses Kerry for President?

[kaehurowing]

How come nobody ever says "communist" anymore?

Kind of pales next to "judge murderer." But they didn't say that either.

[Brainhose]

It seems to me that most comitted commies are well to do.
Just go to Concord,Lexington, Arlington,Boston or Cambridge
Massachusetts. Some of the birthplaces of our country, yet festering nests of Communism and anarchists, and some of the most expensive realestate in the country.
Oh, I almost forgot John Kerry has one of his mansions there.

[Clemenza]

Ah, for the day in the late 70s when Red Angela came to speak at the University of Miami and almost got blown up by former Bay of Pigs veterans...

[AmericanVictory]

All those old commies. Nostalgic for the good ol' days before their pals the Dems were in the descendancy, they're looking for new causes all the time. But they've only got the old media to pay serious attention. They need to hurry up bfore it's too late. After we win the Terror War they will really become obsolete, running out of Dictators to falsify and love.

[Havisham]

John Lennon's sound was extremely intimate, hugely innovative and at the same time, unreproducible. There was something great there. Yoko was the death of Lennon's music and the control he needed to cope with a violent streak that becomes evident in even the most cursory examination of his early years. I wanted to say that I don't believe John Lennnon was politically naive. Rather, he had no personality of his own. This combined with Yoko's reptillian talent for self-promotion afforded Lennon sleazy ground in which to apply his musical imagination. I'm tempted to say the immensely musical and verbally
intuitive Lennon was simply born under a bad star. That he would be murdered so violently around his fortieth birthday fits in with the sad chaos that was his life from its very beginning.

[Havisham]

Addendum: The courage of the great Angela Davis was just another big lie of the American left. The bi**h belongs in the same gallery of traitors with Kerry and Rather. This is not mere hyperbole. They hate America and militate for the Communist cause. Middle America is being heard in the cases of Rather and Kerry. Angela Davis, a lunatic in her own right, is simply ignored, but not by the FBI, I hope.

[Amelia]

It's like she's saying there is no other alternative and it's the government's fault for the choices people make (which is exactly her ideology).

That's how I understood it, but I could well have been wrong.

I'd like to see the country lose the Culture of Victimhood and go back to the Culture of Responsibility.
