Popular Post sphinxsix Posted June 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2020 No commentary please, except from eventual commentary or link connected directly with the music you're posting. John Coltrane wrote 'Alabama' in response to the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing on September 15, 1963, by the members of Ku Klux Klan in Birmingham, Alabama that killed four little African-American girls. It is said that the theme is based on Martin Luther speech. The lyrics of this Bob Marley song are almost entirely derived from United Nations 1963 speech made by the Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie I.

Popular Post sphinxsix Posted June 1, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2020 Bob Dylan 1962. 'This song is just a reminder to remind your fellow man That this kind of thing still lives today in that ghost-robed Ku Klux Klan. But if all of us folks that thinks alike, if we gave all we could give, We could make this great land of ours a greater place to live.' AudioDoctor and semente 1 1 Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 I guess this can be called a lively response. I'm only a little worried there's not much music left.. Link to comment

I'll hope that this will change ... Sick and tired of being sick and tired ... (pls ask for deleting if it's too much words ...) Wasn't 100% serious Thanks for your input! Link to comment
Popular Post sphinxsix Posted June 1, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2020 Not everyone knows that The Clash 'Guns of Brixton' issued in December '79 actually predated the 1980 Brixton riots caused by feelings of discontent in the area because of the heavy-handedness of the police, the recession and other problems at the time. When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun? When the law break in How you gonna go? Shot down on the pavement Or waiting in death row You can crush us You can bruise us But you'd have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton The Computer Audiophile, clipper, orresearch and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Some words from Chuck D. Quote I was talking to my assistant a couple of months back, and while we were talking about the obvious differences in men and women, I had to give up and say that men couldn't handle the period cycles that women go through. She countered and told me that men do have periods . . . They're called WARS. There's little words that can describe what happened here in the United States on Tuesday September 11 2001. I was in New York when it was goin down. My heart goes out to those in the aircrafts, the buildings, the rescuers killed on the ground. As a person who has traveled across 40 countries in the world, I can attest to the fact that the common peoples on the earth have long suffered, and swallowed the bullet of the greed of governmental rule and arrogance. Power is a funny thing, when poured on the few individuals that are selected to govern people, no matter where they're at on the earth... it makes manipulation a close cousin. Mad questions abound. Whoever the so called hijackers or planners answered to, my question is how come their superiors didn't put THEIR lives on the line? I don't buy religious martyrdom if the leader heads themselves can't get in the same box. It's problematic when one is trained and taught to die for religious elevation while the heads of that structure are rich as hell and don't share the wealth with their followers. On the other side, the United States is talking war but who is actually gonna fight those battles, and with whom? War is not a football game, y'all. BUSH and the rest of these 50PLUSWHITEMEN (C.POWELL included) will not be on the air or field. I repeat they will not be on the air or field. They're making definite decisions and I have a problem with the arrogance of most governments period. I have a problem with the arrogance of MAN period. There is little if any humilitty on both parts. The skeptical pendulum is swinging both ways as far as culprits are concerned. I have a problem with dragging innocent people into political high level bull shit. There will be innocent people catching it bad across both waters, infested with a lethal combination of fact, attacks, myth, dogma and orders. I have a problem with Amerikka walking out and damn near shitting on the WORLD RACISM CONFERENCE in SOUTH AFRICA. I have issues with the United States talking cocky, considering while admitting themselves about the carrying out of assassinations. I have a problem with heartless cats training to fly planes in order to kill thousands of innocent people in the air or on the ground. I have a problem with some nations and it's protectors how they refuse to acknowledge their major contribution to this cycle of terror and greed. I have a problem that Americans consider it a over there issue, as if it was on another planet. I have a problem with Amerikka with three K's, and it's relentless hyping and macho barroom talkes of a 'beat-u'down' past. I don't have a problem on what America can be. In NEW YORK a place known for people not giving a damn about the next person, all of a sudden people are communicating with one another regardless of background unless the person has a Middle Eastern 'visual characterstic' and that's where Amerikkka, that's with three K's, and not America spelled properly, rears it's ugliness. Understand the difference y'all... Twisted. Why everybody wanna kill God? It's wack when people oblivious to the facts are dragged into war and death. It's wack when cats throw religion into the mix. It's wack that celebrations are taking place in the streets of some nations and just as terrible as some Texans shooting and burning a mosque in Abiline. Just as horrible is the fact that Amerikkkans jumped in celebratory joy when two atomic bombs were dropped on JAPAN in 1945, and updated hate in 2001 about people calling people of backgrounds 'dogs' it's documented. I can go on and on and on about the inner and outer, and still continued 'terrorism' endorsed Amerikkkan that's with three K's style, as eloquently pointed out and covered by my man Art McGee's Black Radical Congress piece. Terror Attacks. Ignoring calls for reparations, only endorses a past of slavery, KKK, COINTELPRO, Japanese WW2 concentration camps etc. etc. that's been hosted here in the same land of the free everybody's talking about. When it all boils down to it, power has never been with the people. The people of the earth are still PAWNS IN THE GAME, while the boardmasters, the rulers of countries, corporations, giant and religious leaderships operate under the guise of 'IN GOD WE TRUST' or even 'ALLA U AKBAR' where an action assumes the position of an act of God. It's not what you say you are, it's what you prove you are. So avoid this latest rhetoric and arrogance that's woven with this 'twisted sense of god', while the everyday person is shook by a new existence in this odec, this centruy, this millennium. On the real, in all sense of humility may god bless us all beyond the flags. Why y'all wanna kill God? A twisted sense of God. Some from Paula White. And some more from Chuck D to get the ones who fell into trance while listening to Paula White out of it.. christopher3393 and DuckToller 2 Link to comment
