My hat is off to Jessica Lynch. It would have been so easy to go along with the Bush gang’s buildup, and she didn’t. Instead she went public on national television. Given the temptation, her actions are a shot of courage for all the rest of us.

I hope that Pat Tillman’s sacrifice and the withholding of information about his death by the White House and Pentagon pushes blinded Republicans into the light.

Pat Tillman’s mother and brother as well as Jessica Lynch appeared before Congressmen asking for their help to uncover how LIES were told about their service to our country.

Pat Tillman died from friendly fire. Jessica Lynch was injured and captured; a wild story was fabricated about her horror.

open music thread???????

then i would like to put in a plug for richard butler’s band ‘love spit love’……..he is of psychadelic furs fame…….patrickrex is touring with them now………

richard butler is known from them, but, the love spit love tour was so memorable……..most people miss the visual—-picture it, love, then spit, then say love again…..love it……..

but love spit love was an awesome band, and i have been to many many concerts in my life, have been surrounded by musicians, now and since high school, so have been to many, many, many concerts……and been blessed to having them play guitar while i do dishes………

and i have an extensive music collection, so i’m not just talkin’ out of my ass….i hate to cuss, but there it is……..

but love spit love was by far the best concert i have ever heard….goose flesh for weeks from it……..it ranks as my number one concert of all time……..and was in a small bar in oxford, ohio….didn’t take away from the importance…….

get the cd, love spit love…….so many songs, all different, all different instruments, a cornucopia…….and it rocks…..deeply……like i said, gooseflesh for weeks after hearing it live……..

second best, james taylor in concert, if you ever get the chance, is transformative………
