It's already happening here.

Check out Detroit

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones
Ain't got no records to play

dum, dum...

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto
I've lived all over this town...

Gunner's dream!

my god ed i can't believe an old far.. guy.. like you is quoting
"talking heads"!
(jeez, here i am thinking that's modern, that came out in '79, prolly
would be considered "oldies" now huh?)


b.w.

Hey, I'm not *that* old. I was only 31 in 1979. In fact, I used to go to
CBGB's. But I never saw the Heads there. (I did sit next to Blondie
(Debbie Harry) on the Sixth Avenue subway once, though. Does that count?)

I think we should all be aware of Gunner's wartime anthem:

For the wackos who think we're headed for a revolution it's
downright...inspirational.

OH! i thought you were in your late 70's! oops.

Jeez, don't wish my life away.

i was 20 in '79. used to go to CBGB too, but not very often.
the talking heads came to my college but my crowd were all too drunk to
want to bother to go.

Hah! That almost happened to me when The Mothers of Invention came to my
college. They were just getting started, and I wasn't going to miss it, but
my roomies were too loaded to care. I went alone.

My hearing took a long time to recover, BTW. I stood right in front of Black
Death, which was Zappa's refrigerator-sized speaker set.

...should've though, was just before they hit it big.
back in the 80's david byrne stood in behind me in line at a korean market
in soho. my brush with greatness.
never realized how appropriate that song is for the situation you
described. wow.

b.w.

I think of it every time I hear one of the twisted sisters here talk about
the impending revolution.
