Perhaps the population would be less swayed to socialism if we had fewer examples of socialism from our "Free Market Capitalists". -----fiddler dave

Ahh, JBoogy--so beautiful, the human voice as an instrument played with such skill and passion.

Room with a View--clip. One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies, incorporating my favorite philosophy, with my favorite composer---Puccini, for background.

OK that's some decent metal. I like metal as much as the next person, I admit, that Ritz recording is off of a record from the 1950s and kinda muffled sounding. But listen to the chords! And that's done on a uke, it's just so clean, and the timing is just so dead-on. Anyone can learn to play that same fraction of a Lydian mode or whatever that is, on the metal video, over and over and over again but playing like Ritz, that's a real skill. And need I say it again? People are going to look and sound like fucking idiots trying to sing synth solos and White Zombie after the electricity goes out. The old acoustic stuff is "forevah"!
