Timely post from the Artist I celebrate with a tepid bath, a Scotch and Thoughts of eternal damnation for this Planet.
Warm Hugs for the denizen of CoV
Fritz.
YouTube - Leonard Cohen - "Everybody Knows"
Lyrics Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows that the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich Thats how it goes Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolates And a long stem rose Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby Everybody knows that you really do Everybody knows that youve been faithful Ah give or take a night or two Everybody knows youve been discreet But there were so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows
And everybody knows that its now or never Everybody knows that its me or you And everybody knows that you live forever Ah when youve done a line or two Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old black joes still pickin cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the plague is coming Everybody knows that its moving fast Everybody knows that the naked man and woman Are just a shining artifact of the past Everybody knows the scene is dead But theres gonna be a meter on your bed That will disclose What everybody knows
And everybody knows that youre in trouble Everybody knows what youve been through From the bloody cross on top of calvary To the beach of malibu Everybody knows its coming apart Take one last look at this sacred heart Before it blows And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows
Outside my window in the courtyard of the world The gentle rain was falling. No breath of wind, no cry of beast or bird Too quiet, too still, I turned ... To see the raindrops like a thousand poet's words splash their circles on the stones, Ans seem to wash over everything with love And for a moment the courtyard heard.
Until the sun came bursting through the clouds Hung up his rainbows in the sky And with a laugh of flames said, "Now go chase the gold" And the world became the world ...
Now we're all travellers some seekers and some sought Who leave the courtyard to be caught In nets of self, damned certainty and choice; But do you believe our voice?
You ... you've got what must belong to me, I need! I'll bleed for more possesions. You ... you've got no right to disagree Bow! Kneel! Or fear my aggresions. Thank God if sometines your oyster holds a pearl When the world remains the world ...

The rock band Toto scored their biggest hit with the song "Africa" in 1982. The song is instantly recognizable. But it has been reinvented. Perpetuum Jazzile is an acappella jazz choir from Slovenia .
You have to have the Volume set high to catch all the sounds created, especially at the beginning.

[Fritz]Trolling BBC off one of the 'FTA birds' and saw Joss Stone in concert; nice to bare witness to some soul again especially from the kids....
[letheomaniac] I'm afraid I beg to differ Fritz. Joss Stone has no soul at all. It was surgically removed by her Big Music producer. This "soul" of which you speak is nothing more than a marketing concept created by a zombie industry that hasn't had the decency to stop blundering around moaning "Braaaaaiiinsss". Big Music is just recycling that old school soul sound because they have run out of ideas. The only person left on the planet with any soul is James Brown... oh wait, scratch that. RIP James.

[Fritz]I guess my old geezer wish for the old days of soul music combined with a scantily clad nubile singer got the better of me. Your point is taken .... Fritz hangs head in shame.

Re:6 Reasons Why You Never Need to Win an Argument « Reply #1 on: Today at 12:27:47 » Reply with quote I think this article is good on the argument=war meme metaphor. There are of course other ways to argue, but overcoming that meme is a high priority for civilized discourse, and some people never do get over it so its a good reminder to the rest of us who must continue to interact with them.

Sorry MO, the thread took me to this old gem, but it does support your case I think.
