"I stand by my earlier statements re the boss!"

As well you should; the guy's the quinessential loser.

I've given up much in the Cultural Wars in the way of "entertainment" along with the cultural icons of my youth. Mileposts of time, in a way.
Things & people I'd found had been as much a part of me as any of my appendages.

Still.
I'd eventually reasoned either I'm going to treat the threatS of the Liberal-Socialists & *their* useful idiots seriously; and, react to what they've tried to do to MY country, even moreso.
Or?
I'd be no better than they are insofar as contributing to the state of the stinking mess, if only by default.

Meant I had to put my money where my mouth was.
Their names -- all of 'em -- then were struck from every column & oblisk in the temple I call, my life.

Others -- it'd seem -- just don't quite "get it" [yet] as they seem hellbent on continuing thier -- albeit unwitting -- aid & abetting of the nation's enemies?
Or maybe it's merely a matter of their simply refusing to "grow up"?
Steely Dan said it best for discussing this type, too.
Permit me... (~sing it Mud!! ~& sing it loud)

"Your everlasting summer
You see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last {>doink<}
You wouldn't know a diamond
If you held one in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can't understand

Are you reelin' in the years!??!
Stowin' away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine?

You been tellin' me you're a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at *the* college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand!

Are you reelin' in the years?!!?
Stowin' away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine?

I spend a lot of money
And I spend a lot of time
The trip we made to *Hollyweird* {>doink<}
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things we done & seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I can't understand
-----------------------

Interestingly enough?
These people who refuse to see the truth, for whatever their reason?
Are precisely the same ones who also believe they're "cutting edge," too.

Go figure.

...it's enough to make a grown man cry.

A quote from Can't Buy A Thrill. THAT'S an album......along with Pretzel Logic, Royal Scam, Katy Lied, Aja, Gaucho, etc.


Now, THOSE guys can play!

Also some of the great lyrics I've ever heard.

I still say this so-called protest bs is simply anti-Bush, anti-Republican whining with no regard for consequence.

They don't care about anything but their own power base.

"Interestingly enough?"

Yep...MUD

"...sing it Mud!! ~& sing it loud"

Steely Dan; Reelin' in the years, Great lyrics...
and an excellant point well made.
and Mud says,"The BOSS ROCKS"...MUD

Well I guess it's hopeless. We haven't heard jla, Sultan, happy gal, or Mad Ivan weigh in on this matter, but I'm sure it won't change the mudboys mind, perfessor.
and Mud says,"The BOSS ROCKS"...MUD

Landru, you have given impassioned pleas to common sense,
and Mud says,"The BOSS ROCKS"...MUD

We have a professional: Conservative Musician, who put in his considerable weighty opinion, and CM says: "The Boss bites the big one."
and Mud says,"The BOSS ROCKS"...MUD

I've given POOF POSITIVE that the Boss is the darling of many leftists by quoting praise for the Boss on their websites, such as The Scottish Socialist Voice:
and Mud says, "The BOSS ROCKS"...MUD

CM again says,"I stand by my earlier statements re the boss!"
and Mud says,"The BOSS ROCKS"...MUD

I gave a link to an article where the Boss was quoted comparing Iraq to Vietnam. Before singing "Born In The USA" in a concert he is quoted as saying to 40,000 skulls full o' mush, "I don't want to have to write this song again."
and Mud says,"The BOSS ROCKS"...MUD

Landru do ya' get the feelin' the boy is somewatt "gluckylike"?.....;^D
