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

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
