What's taking so long?? C'mon, registrarians, get 'er done already!
My new domain is still "processing" and I can't yet get in there to start tinkering with that whole DNS CNAME management rigmarole to get it up and running. (Strikethru 2/21 - Yay!) So consider yourself on hold waiting for the next available operator (that would be me.) Until then, as is requisite while holding, enjoy some additional tuneage.
Filler, actually, until I can begin picking up where I left off over at Current Events Watch. Estimated wait time, 24 to 48 hours. Plenty of time for canción numero dos ... thank you for your patience.
[I was a huge fan of this short-lived group Cry of Love in the early '90s. Their entire repertoire is most excellent, but the CD Brother was particularly exceptional. This song is one of my favorites. Quite apropos of the goings on these days even if the lyrics do hark back to the very beginnings of America's occupational tendencies. All in the name of God somehow. For God's sake!]
In the heat of the mornin'
In the eye of the sun
Hear the wind start blowin'
See the horse and the gun
Now the peace pipe it ain’t smokin’
All the promises are broken
In the heat of the mornin'
See the horse and the gun
All in the name of God somehow
Tearin' the temple down
Burn down the sacred ground
Tearin' the temple down
In the name of God somehow
Burn down the sacred ground
In the dead of the evenin'
When the spears come down
Say a prayer for the proud one
On the killin' ground
Now the peace pipe it is broken
All the shame has gone unspoken
In the dead of the evenin'
When the tears come down
All in the name of God somehow
Tearin' the temple down
Burn down the sacred ground
Tearin' the temple down
In the name of God somehow
Burn down the sacred ground
All in the name
All in the name
All in the name of God somehow

will you tackle more than politics?
ReplyDeletealways have, always will. but now i'll be able to venture forth into things that may not be so current, but that still piss me off, so that'll be fun!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds cool Doug. Just went I think there isn't much more to say about politics, some else will happen.
ReplyDeleteMan, this is a killer song. I've heard it before, but would never have known the band if it weren't for you. Thanks. This makes me want to go to a bluesy rock concert at House of Blues. It is reminiscent of bands like Kenny Wayne Shepard and Big Head Todd and the Monsters.
ReplyDeleteErika - Dude, you rock! :-) No one else knows this song. Glad you at least are aware. And I, too, love my Kenny Wayne Sje[jerd AND Big Head Todd & the Monsters! Altho the only Big Head song I actually ever enjoyed was Broken Hearted Savior, all of the other ones sounded the same to me. But Kenny, everything that kid does is outstanding. Blue on Black, Slow Ride (the non-Foghat ride) ... Damn.
ReplyDeleteUm - Sje[jerd = Shepherd, as we all know.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Furidundum? Will I need a dictionary to read your blog? My head hurts.
ReplyDeletewhen you gonna get this thing up?????
ReplyDeletejon - LOL i was one of those few who took latin in high school. not much interest there, they took it off of the curriculum the next year. actually, furibundus is used most often as the masculine of the word, furibunda is feminine, but furibundum is neuter so i chose that so as not to discriminate. it means frenzies, maddened, raving, and oddly enough, also means inspired. i thought that pretty much summed up the stuff i wrote when i was writing for currenteventswatch.com, i'm pretty opinionated. but thanks for reading, even though there's nothing really to read yet.
ReplyDeleteChrissy - Okay, I feel bad now, but I'm working on it. I left my last blog writing gig and just when I got my own up here, here comes the flu so have been lax for the last day or two. No pun intended. I'll get to work on it.
ReplyDeleteDoug, check this article out on blogging: http://www.spontaneousderivation.com/2008/02/22/blogging-for-writers-a-sneak-peek-where-should-i-blog/#more-816
ReplyDeleteDoug, I keep checking back too- and I love the name of this blog. I studied a lot of German and Spanish and love words that encompass so much meaning all wrapped up in a single word. I hope you're going to continue the music on your blog since you have such wonderful taste (like me ha). Looking forward to it. Ciao!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think we have other things in common too based on some of your comments. Hint: I live in SF now and it's like living in Amsterdam!
lil nav - thanks for the link. i am, in fact, using blogger as the platform, but under my own domain name. nothing against the blogspot.com folks, i just wanted my own name because, um, just because. :-)
ReplyDeleteand erika, thanks for the props about the blog name. i like it, whether anyone else does or not. and despite my frustration of a couple of days posting only filler music, i'll admit i did enjoy sharing and will now feel free to do so more often. and i would think san framsterdam would be a most fabulous place to live! lucky you.
San Framsterdam- love it! HA- my husband wants to steal it.
