Guest the_muddy_man Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Hey Fellas : Well the news guys are fallin all over themselves at VA Tech. They just interviewed a kid who was shot and their all trying to dish it first for ratings. In 1966 Frank Zappa was watching the Watts Riots and got the same sick feeling I just got he wrote a great song that night about his disgust with it all He Called it TROUBLE EVERY DAy Here are the lyrics SAD THING IS NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE 1966 :-[ :'( Well I'm about to get sick From watchin' my TV Been checkin' out the news Until my eyeballs fail to see I mean to say that every day Is just another rotten mess And when it's gonna change, my friend Is anybody's guess So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' every day Wednesday I watched the riot . . . Seen the cops out on the street Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff And chokin' in the heat Listened to reports About the whisky passin' 'round Seen the smoke and fire And the market burnin' down Watched while everybody On his street would take a turn To stomp and smash and bash and crash And slash and bust and burn And I'm watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' every day Well, you can cool it, You can heat it . . . 'Cause, baby, I don't need it . . . Take your TV tube and eat it 'N all that phony stuff on sports 'N all the unconfirmed reports You know I watched that rotten box Until my head begin to hurt From checkin' out the way The newsman say they get the dirt Before the guys on channel so-and-so And further they assert That any show they'll interrupt To bring you news if it comes up They say that if the place blows up They will be the first to tell, Because the boys they got downtown Are workin' hard and doin' swell, And if anybody gets the news Before it hits the street, They say that no one blabs it faster Their coverage can't be beat And if another woman driver Gets machine-gunned from her seat They'll send some joker with a brownie And you'll see it all complete So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' every day Quote

Panamoka_Bassin Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 The more you talk about music, the more I think you and I could talk music all day. Good choice for a very fitting subject. I was thinking more Don Henley, though... And the bubble-headed bleach blonde comes on at five She can tell you bout a plane crash with a gleam in her eye Its interesting when people die They love Dirty Laundry Quote
