"Winds of Change" or "Blinded Eyes" - what is the song for these times?

The breathless chortling of "democracy" in Egypt and the Middle East, is it really a replay of thirty years ago at the Berlin Wall?

Is the song "Winds of Change" by German rock group "The Scorpions" for today?

Or is a larger, more sinister movement taking place, not of "democracy", but of mob rule, directed hate-filled theocrats?

Is the unrest in Madison, Wisconsin being run in the same way.

I'm sure everyone here on FR has thought about all of this.

The amount of suffering that the left is willing to inflict will be horrendous, IMHO.

Good one.

But I have a darker, more evil feeling about these times than about the 60s and 70s.

Savage has been playing “Sympathy for the Devil” lately, but I’m putting forth those other songs.

I vote for "Trouble Every Day" by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Preferably the original take on the Freak Out album. Released 45 years ago and still spot on.

Well you can cool it, you can heat it
'Cause, baby, I don't need it
Take your TV tube and eat it
And all that phony stuff on sports
And all those unconfirmed reports
You know I watched that rotten box until my head began to hurt
From checkin out the way the newsmen say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so-and-so
And further they assert
That any show they'll interrupt
To bring you news if it comes up
They say that if the place blows up
They'll be the first to tell
Because the boys they got downtown are workin' hard and doin' swell
And if anybody gets the news Before it hits the street
They say that no one blabs it faster
Their coverage can't be beat

And if another woman driver
Gets machine-gunned from her seat
They'll send some joker with a brownie and you'll see it all complete

So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day

No I have that great song running through my head. Frank also nailed it years later with I Am The Slime. Good stuff for a sunny day.

“It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere” always worked for me
