Everybody's talkin' at me.
I don't hear a word they're saying,
Only the echoes of my mind...
(Cue George Putnam)
Yes, everybody's talkin' at you, now it's your turn to talk back. You at home and you at our studios here in the ARCO Towers, it's your turn to talk back. We're going to bring you the news, bring you news makers and celebrities, but most of all, we want to talk with you.
Silent Running is very close to what could happen here.
Catch the Drake-Chennault jingle that opens it.
So it is imperative to speak up for others and speak out against the behavior (see Prov. 31:8a).
It IS so important to speak up.
And: “hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk to you again”
