LOL...right place right time I guess. Funny, when I posted it, it said 10 minutes ago. Paging Rod Sterling or Bob Seger.

The rebels, who draw inspiration from the late Chinese revolutionary leader Mao Zedong, have been trying since 1996 to overthrow the government and establish a socialist state. They have refused the government's invitation to come into the mainstream of Nepalese politics and end the violence. More than 10,500 people have died since the fighting began.

Those peaceful Communists at it again.

Maybe they should just mellow out and listen to some Bob Seger instead?

Katmandu

I think I'm goin' to Katmandu
I think it's really where I'm goin' to
Hey, if I ever get out of here
That what I'm gonna do

K-k-k-k-k-k-katmandu
I think it's really where I'm goin' to
Hey, if I ever get out of here
I'm goin' to Katmandu

I got no kick against the west coast
Where all the brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass, give 'em a toast
I'm sure they know it's true

I got no rap against southern states
Every time I been there it's been great
But now I'm leaving and I can't be late
And to myself be true

That's why I'm goin' to Katmandu
Really, really, really goin', too
Hey if I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do

Whoa, Katmandu
Take me with you, 'cause I'm goin' with you
Now, if I ever get out of here
I'm goin' to Katmandu

I got no quarrel with the midwest
The folks out there have given me their best
I've lived there all my life, I've been their guest
I sure have loved it, too

I'm tired of looking at the TV news
I'm tired of drivin' hard and payin' dues
I figure, baby, I got nothin' to lose
I'm tired of bein' blue

That's why I'm goin' to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do

K-k-k-k-k-k-Katmandu
Really, really, really goin', too
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin' to Katmandu

I ain't got nothin' 'gainst the east coast
You want some people, well they got the most
New York City's like a friendly old ghost
You seem to cruise right through

I know I'm gonna miss the USA
I guess I'll miss it every single day
But no one loves me here any way
I know my plane is due

The one that's goin' to Katmandu
Really, really goin', too
Hey, if I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do, gonna do

Katmandu
Take me with you, 'cause I'm goin' with you
Now, if I ever get out of here
If I ever get out of here
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin' to Katmandu

Darn, you beat me to it. I suppose 99 other people also wanted to say that, though. :^)

Paging Rod Sterling or Bob Seger.

Man, get out of my head. There is only room for one of me in here. LOL :)

Can't believe that this significant World event hasn't been commented on further?

I at least expected some Mel Brooks, Bob Seger or Eddie Murphy fans reply. :)

I think someone else posted this story a few minutes after me. It had more views. :-)
