With the 5th Anniversary of start of the war in Iraq approaching we all need to take a moment to think about what this war has cost us: Almost 4,000 American lives, Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilian deaths, and $275 million every single day.

This anniversary of the war let your voice be heard and join one of the actions going on across the country. Visit 5yearstoomany.org for more information and to sign up for an event.

7. Very good. You've inspired me to try my hand at a themed slide show.

I'm going to use Sam Philllips' "Black Sky."

The trees are listening each time a missile’s made
They hide three mystics the earth sends from her grave
To tell us the future has been stolen away
By diggers, drillers and sellers
But we won’t stop ’till we’re under a black sky

He took my picture in the cemetery sun
My body was tempted to crumble into one
Reunion of dust until creation’s done
Returning ashes to ashes
We won’t stop ’till we’re underneath a black sky

The commerce the intrigue
Self-slaughtered souls cry out to dead poor men
For a drink at the water hole
But their tongues will burn dry
As the day they were sold for
Forests raped into deserts
We won’t stop ’till we’re underneath a black sky


Visually it is going to center on the corporatist, corrupt politicians and the damage they are doing.

[Ava]

16. awesome! you'll post it when you have it up?

:pals:

[alfredo]

17. Thanks. I will post it here and youtube when done and if it doesn't suck.

[alfredo]

23. I was surprised there was no video using Phillips' "Black Sky."

[Ava]

28. i have to admit i haven't heard the song

i'll have to give it a listen though. look forward to your vid.. :hi:

[alfredo]

29. It's from Bikinis and Martinis.

Look down the page, there's some sound samples.

Tract 9 and also listen to the last track.
Track 11 was a big hit. Every girl singer covered that song.

She used to be a Christian singer called Leslie Phillips. She married the producer T Bone Burnett. He did the music for "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" She did the music for "The Gilmore Girls."

That's T Bone Burnett behind her

[Ava]

31. thanks for the links!

:hi:

[alfredo]

32. Thanks. She's a very creative mind. I became aware

of her from the movie "A Midnight Clear." At the end she sang " A Midnight Clear" in a minor key. It was a revelation.
