Login HereJohn Prine : Some Humans Ain't Human
John Prine speaks for me and so does John Gorenfeld. John wrote Bad Moon Rising and during his excellent FDL book salon last Sunday, he promised a video he was working on would be available soon. Here it is folks, The King of America. Put away your tin foil hats and grab some popcorn, because the truth these days IS stranger than fiction.

So?
PRINE! (and es!)
love this song, thanks for getting it eureka
“So?” ain’t dead, but it ought to be!
Evening Eureka.
ES! What an appropriate song when I was just epu’d in asking about Strom Thurmond and a 15yro Black girl copulating…!
I never thought Prine and Moon would fit in the same post. *g*
any friend of John Prine is a friend of mine….
Old news..’tis true, iirc.
lyrics:
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Some humans ain’t human
Some people ain’t kind
You open up their hearts
And here’s what you’ll find
A few frozen pizzas
Some ice cubes with hair
A broken Popsicle
You don’t want to go there
Some humans ain’t human
Though they walk like we do
They live and they breathe
Just to turn the old screw
They screw you when you’re sleeping
They try to screw you blind
Some humans ain’t human
Some people ain’t kind
You might go to church
And sit down in a pew
Those humans who ain’t human
Could be sittin’ right next to you
They talk about your family
They talk about your clothes
When they don’t know their own ass
From their own elbows
Jealousy and stupidity
Don’t equal harmony
Jealousy and stupidity
Don’t equal harmony
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Have you ever noticed
When you’re feeling really good
There’s always a pigeon
That’ll come shit on your hood
Or you’re feeling your freedom
And the world’s off your back
Some cowboy from Texas
Starts his own war in Iraq
Some humans ain’t human
Some people ain’t kind
They lie through their teeth
With their head up their behind
You open up their hearts
And here’s what you’ll find
Some humans ain’t human
Some people ain’t kind
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
He was a true Dixiecrat, I guess…!
Mmmmmm Mmmmmm
He left out the *ss part in that Utube…!
I love John Prine. This is a great song. Thanks, ES.
f the fcc
ok - I’ve finished my Pissed-Off Motion to the court (which I forget how to say in Latin - so it’s just a “Pissed-Off Motion”), so
lemme see what I can find….
I saw him in Phoenix with Iris Dement, it was a great show.
OK, in the stupid stuff try this on:NYT’s
forkus ducum tecum?
That’s a hoot! How do you find all these gems, Suzanne?
in the news box :)
laughing - wish I’d have thought of that…
From what might well be the same performance, John Prine:
Flag decals? Nuh-uh…

Hi everyone…. what’s up?
just between you and me, kpig radio is where i hear a lot of them - shhhhh
hi katymine….
I’m busy being Pissed Off, but everyone else seems to be in a good mood. How you?
All I can do is laugh out loud at that.. We are so screwed.. I almost hope the kid gets away with it since Uncle Sam is dumb enough to give him a shot at it. Maybe the kid is a Moonie.
There is a photo in the article of David M. Packouz, 25, who was AEY’s vice president and if you look under in tiny fine print it says Miami Dade P.D. He is a licensed masseur.
hmmm kind of figured you might…. Elmore has been a kpig radio fan for years and years…

i got epu’d in the last thread, my browser keeps quitting and wiping out all of my screens, the tubes are dirt slow, so i’m signing off soon, rain just started and i want to fall asleep to it.
sweet spring dreams to all pups.
==========epu’d answers and comments-please excuse===or just don’t throw tomatoes=========
(took so damn long to type it, then epu’d, then browser quitting, wiping out what i typed to post on this thread, had to look it all back up again, type again, pages not loading, i’m postin’ it!
thanks for your tolerance and patience, nite……all is well.)

ron zuber at 86–thanks, that gave me more names to pull up on www.newsmeat.com although i’ve noticed they need to do an update.
and i found it interesting in your link that bush is at a private fundraiser tonight up there. with all that’s going on, he’s eating party food, raising money.
=====
thanks hackworth at 102, i wondered…….i’ll go take a look-see. ummmmm, hmmmmm, ummmmmm, peeking around the corner first, it’s david, it could be anything.
===
suz at 96–yeeeeees, that’s why i said it was sooooooo tacky to say : )
but it whammed into my brain and wouldn’t leave…..it’s a small world, everybody knows that.
=======
quebecois–REALLY nice photo of the building…….the lines and colors are exceptional, the light perfect to capture them both…….it’s a great one, a keeper, you don’t have to say where it is, but what is it? looks like a mini-arts center, is it?…….i didn’t look at all of them, my dial-up is slow enough normally, but today it’s really
slow……
======
and jayt–know a few people who were ruined by the ’reveal laws’……most of them were young, had underage girlfriends, with permission of their parents, until parents got mad at teenager or partner and brought charges…..some were barely over 18…..now they’re sex offenders for life for having a girlfriend.
at least they can explain it to prospective bosses for what it is..
but
two others lost in court over allegations from spouses…nasty divorces…..
these two are jammed for life.
please get your ass to a doctor, your body has not been acting right for a while now, time to face it so you can feel better. JMHO and what i would make you do if i were there. yes, i said make.
Your secret’s safe with me. ;)
I’m fine….. been putting in 10-12 hr days configuring a database that was due to be delivered today at 4pm PDT….. think my fingers are going to fall off
hahahaha that is an official pd photo - probably taken when he was fingerprinted and background checked to get his city permit to operate - the city i used to work at did that with masseuses and taxi drivers.
what i would make you do if i were there. yes, i said make.
hmmm… you remind me of somebody - gimme a minute, I’ll come up with it….
lol - thanks.
No, it was is arrest photo for him and his boss getting into a fight with a parking valet.

Poor dmac and her dial-up.. She’s like the little turtle, running behind with a spunky bullhorn..)
ET has mentioned on a few occasions Moon wants to build a tunnel under the sea.. so trucking/commerce can be connected between Russia, AK, and beyond.
Something I didn’t know….. its the 10th anniversary of Viagra…. what a factoid to have trapped in my trivia card file…
“Viva Viag…”
never mind.
ouch - poor fingers probably need massage and soothing lotions to make them type respectable again (mine get cranky too)
Hey Katymine… sorry we have not gotten together. Be done out here Sat… will call.
That song…. NOT ready to make nice….. is listed as most played on my ipod…. it was one I played at window vibration level when I was trying to deal with the cancer diagnosis. Good think the singing was so loud so that no one could hear me singing….
wicked evil laugh - even better - booking photos make such lovely newspaper photos, don’t they :)
I have been pretty busy and I don’t know if anyone has seen this or not, they finally took those two guys out of solitary in Louisiana after thirty five fucking years;

I was going to get around to a meetup this week but then the sh*t hit the fan and too fried trying to make the deadline….. Tomorrow I’m free …
about fucking time!
Suzanne -
Should be interesting to see who, if anyone, in the Army gets their butts kicked.
Yea!!
I thought Nick Nolte’s DUI pic caught his best side…! ;-)
OK folks:
I will no longer be a front-poster at FDL and also banning myself from commenting at FDL because of what I said here at an earlier FDL thread…
And then I said this as a follow up…
And also this…about my credentials as a feminist scholar…
But apparently that upset some people. That’s tough…’coz that stereotype about women is well-documented, and FDLers who choose to benighted about this have their heads in the sand. I know things have been tense at FDL lately, but this one goes over the top…
It’s been great being here for some time, but I have to say Sayonara at this point…
Good luck to all of youze…
(I will post this same comment tomorrow at a live thread in the US–I’m in Hong Kong right now, where it’s been a glorious day–it’s 1:44 PM Thursday…)
So long, folks…it’s been real…
I have a rich life beyond FDL…work for the BBC World Service; travel the world for my work; and have great friends all over the globe. OI don’t need this FDL bullshit…
Obama needs a new pastor - I nominate the good Reverend:

Wow. Just finished watching The King of America. Pretty crazy stuff.
I met some moonies in 1972 before I had ever heard of moonies. They were running a coffee house in Kansas City and living in a mansion there. They invited me home to dinner and afterward sang Korean songs and then presented a lecture about Adam and Eve, Satan and I’ve forgotten what else. Fortunately I did not fall under their spell. It was the first time I heard of Rev. Moon, and only later did I hear his followers referred to as moonies.
Call you around noon-ish… that work?
”Poor dmac and her dial-up.. She’s like the little turtle, running behind with a spunky bullhorn..)”
you’re freaky FUNNY eureka~that was quite a visual i got on that one!
don’t forget i’m throwing defunct ammo keyboards, too, at the ones that are on our heels. : )
nite–our pbs snuck jane austen’s emma on at 2am, and it’s raining……..good sleep for sure.
hey suz–do you have the conservative christians song handy? if so, will ya post it for me?
or paul thorn with attitude?
my hands are tied up with the bullhorn and the ammo keyboards. : )
and it’ll take me forever to find it at this turtle rate. : )
OMG…. not one conference call all day….. what will I do with my time?
Sure call away…
i’m still laughing, i think i might change my name to turtle.
conservative christian live
turtle might get ya confused with tuttle
i’m just saying (as my eye doctor told me - suzanne your eyes are old)
The book is very good, well sourced material. John stepped into no area he couldn’t source thoroughly.
Trust me, I’ve certainly heard that once or twice…!
I know you are on dial up.. but this band would be great theme music for ya. *g*

SPEW!
Thanks for that news, Busted.
OMG you’re not my wife are you? LOL! Sounds like her day(s).
goddammit, I was already havin’ a shitty night.
As noted below, I left here once, but found myself missing the place and came back.
I most sincerely hope, that after some time and further consideration, you will do the same.
Please - dammit, there are too few sane voices in the world. Yours is most certainly one, and to lose it would, for me, be tragic.
I, ummm, have a little experience in pissing people off. If I were to leave, or be self-banned, or whatever, every place that I’ve pissed somebody off, I’d be living in a cave somewhere, I suppose. Just means that you’re doin’ something right.
Boidun, Enjoy your space in Hong Kong. Blogging takes thick skin..and you should know by now rabid lambs have a tough time with stereotypes, no matter who the messenger may be.
peace
What, that suzanne’s eyes are old?
…scores have fled FDL because of the bullshit that’s been going on here in the past several weeks…punaise, Richmond, and others…TRex was banned, and doesn’t even have FDL on his blogroll…
Wake up people!!! FDL is a tyranny…run by people who have chosen to suppress voices of difference, and the fact the powers that be chose to use a double standard to engage the only FDL front-poster person of color speaks volumes, in spite of the lip service paid to race by those same powers that be…now this is the worst stereotype ever, and I’m really disappointed.
I will spread this info far and wide about FDL…I have the means…Just Google me people…
Lewis Black is on fire tonite… The root of all evil is beer…! ;-)
I’ll drink to that
Elmore would be a little upset if I was your wife…. 707…
WHAT the hell is up with Biodun?
I’m up to my ears in alligators and people are self banning themselves… Biodun… come back soon, I love your writing and insight….
spew.
TDS is starting off pretty good too
…i will never some back to FDL..like Heraclitus, I never swim in the same river twice…*G*…
Eureka, I’ve gone back there a bunch of times.
That was a great selection you gave us that night!
This post could stand to be Dugg some more, in my humble opinion…
There are more than 7 of us here, aren’t there?
If you haven’t Dugg before, now is a good time to start. :)

Thanks. It’s turned into my spring cleaning juke box.
fuck.
excellent point neuro
am i gonna have to put my hands on my hips?
Bio, that’s not accurate, and you know it! You were welcomed and embraced by the Lake! I don’t see why you’re banned as a poster, but, there’s no need to be spiteful towards the Lake… I truly hope you reconsider your intended actions, and, you do visit us in the future, I’ll personally miss your witty repartee…! 8-(
..peace to you too, brother..i have no problem with you…good luck with everything…
I do hope the video, The King of America, circulates far and wide through the tubz.
Biodun, what’s the deal? I have been an FDL’r since this blog had 150 readers a day, and have never seen the animus (well, long term anyhow) that you are speaking of. Clue me in… we don’t get better without knowing the problem, after all we’re not republicans.
Will you check on messages on face book?
present company excepted, of course :)
Well, geez. None of those quotes that Biodun linked offended me in the least, and I don’t think I am too far out of the mainstream here. Whether she returns to FDL or not is entirely her own decision, but I hate to see things like this happen here. It seems so unnecessary. Hers was a voice I appreciated, whether I always agreed with it or not.
Heh, you’re our token Repug, we must maintain some semblance of being ‘Fair and Balanced’…! ;-)
We have to have a token Republican… just so we can call ourselves Fair & Balanced…
am a he…*G*
–people often mistake me for a woman because of my feminist credentials…happens all the time…I could tell some war stories……that’s why all of this is so ironic, truly…
Neuro, Biodun is a male…! *g*
LOL @ 84 & 85
So I googled…
As SGT Shultz used to say, veddy interesting.
Ummm, ya owe me a Coke… Great minds and all…! 8-)
We have enough to fight about with evil repugs and neocons, let’s not fight amongst ourselves.
Sleep well, everyone.
A.. Oh… like minds think alike….
Alrighty….. the doggie alarm will be going off around 5am… nite all.
Oh my, I didn not know that. I am embarrassed. I apologize to Biodun, if that is the appropriate thing to do. It doesn’t change anything I said.
???? I have no messages on Facebook at the moment…what are you talking about?
for you…
