At Three PM here, noon in LA, Phoenix and Three PM in New York.
Not my point. Point is that a caller had been to the Burt Bacharach Summer Pops show last night and he played some very mild protest song about the Bush Administration. Burt is 79 years old and I would love to be able to personally apologize to him. You see, the caller said that Burt was booed when he played his mild protest song. He said he's never been booed for playing that song before.
Guess Burt doesn't realize how many defense contractor employees live in San Diego, does he?
update: here are the lyrics to
Who Are These People?
Lyrics by Burt Bacharach and Tonio K.
Who are these people that keep telling us lies
And how did these people get control of our lives
And who’ll stop the violence cause it’s out of control?
Make em stop
Who are these people that destroy everything
And sell off the future for whatever it brings
And what kind of leaders can’t admit when they’re wrong?
Make em stop
This stupid mess we’re in just keeps getting worse
So many people dying needlessly
Looks like the liars may inherit the earth
Even pretending to pray
And getting away with it
Who are these people that keep telling us lies
And how did these people get control of our lives
And who’ll stop the violence cause it’s out of control?
We’ve got to make them stop
Who are these people that keep telling us lies
And how did these people get control of our lives
and who’ll stop the violence cause it’s out of control?
Make em stop
See things really have to change
Before it’s too late
This song was worth booing to these idiots? Once again, the RepugnantThuglicans in San Diego make me ill.
Karl Rove quit today , so I'm never going to get to see this.
Bummer.
