Relevant Quote Of The Moment b/w Prophecy In Song

And you knew that it was going to come from Glenn Beck:

....They believe in communism. They believe and have called for a revolution. You're going to have to shoot them in the head. But warning, they may shoot you.

They are dangerous because they believe. Karl Marx is their George Washington. You will never change their mind.

Now certainly, the modern American Right will say that he was speaking metaphorically, that "votes" are bullets. Yeah, right.

Immediately, this song from Corrosion of Conformity came to mind. I'm honestly surprised that Sharron Angel didn't have this as a campaign theme song, even though Pepper Keenan and crew wrote this track to reflect the state of the Right Wing in America - in 1991.

Blaming the music that Loughner listened to is something that is not exactly a new strategy from the modern American Right. They've been doing it in conjunction with violence and Marilyn Manson for years.

Check out the barrage of comments this video got in light of Loughner's rampage.

Some Monday Jams

Wiseblood, from a hindsight viewing, was one of the great LPs of the late 90s. Here's one of my fav cuts from the Pepper Keenan and company. Some good memories come flowing back after hearing this.

Goodbye Windows.

Pre Election Rock featuring COC

Probably one of my favorite cuts off the Wiseblood CD.

Long Whip, Big America

Tuesday Music For Lunch feat. Corrossion Of Conformity

COC has been a favorite of mine since the early 90s.

Some of their fanbase brushed them off when "Wiseblood" came out, simply because it wasn't "the same" as anything they had done previously.

It's great when bands can experiment with new sounds. But, getting caught in a "let's make this as radio friendly as we can" mode ( a la Metallica during the Bob Rock as producer era ) can be a career killer.

Redemption City was one of my favorite tracks off the Wiseblood album.
