OK you old rock 'n rollers....
I pulled out CSNY Four Way Street and just listened to Steve Stills singing 49 bye Byes/America's Children as he riffs off Nixon, Agnew and you could just as easily plug in *, cheney, rummy...

Lets let the rockers get us up off our collective asses tonight and get our voices heard, just as in '72!!!!!

1. I watched the DVD of
"Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas" a week or so ago, and when I read the insert, there was an essay by HST about the sorry state of the US in 1969 - it was exactly as if he had written it today, just changing the names of the politicians and the country we're invading.

People yelling at people like us to shut up and "love it or leave it." Intolerance, dissonance, lies from the government, peace-lovers being attacked, all of it was there.

It gave me hope. This old hippie chick refuses to stop.

Listen to the new Stones album, and take heart.

2. I remember well those days
there was quite a spirit then ...if the current anti-war movement can get that kind of momentum, we can bring * down

I just saw CSN last night. They're still rocking, even if they do make the Rolling Stones look young.
