Joy in HK...I somewhat regret writing those quotes. It was what is called in the natural history world as a "displacement gesture"...for example if a nesting Raven on a clifftop espies a person approaching its nest site area it can't really dispel that threat and might peck at the turf and tear up vegetation out of angry frustration. I had composed a much more savage post regarding the bombed mosque...but retracted it as approaching the ugliness of Israeli rhetoric which is beneath me. (but I'd still like to land a blow on Smotrich's nose for stating "they can starve to death...I don't care...they are not my people")...just as the Nazis said. I don't know where the singer I quoted stands today but I doubt it is the same place as when younger more's the pity...I apologise to anyone who might perceive my comment as flippant...I assure you all that I totally uphold the Palestinian right to resistance and like all of us with a heart long, long, long for justice for them. Thanks for your reply, Jeff.
Take care my dear. I hope to read the lyrics as my hearing makes a hard job of understanding aurally...can you tell me...was "Neighbour Bully" a turning point in his earlier anti-war stance? I was heavily influenced in my long ago youth but once I'd heard "Trout Mask Replica" in 1969 I really never listened to anything else! The track "Antmanbee" is extremely applicable to warfare....Free Palestine! Jeff.
" The loser now will be later to win"...I think a Jew wrote that! The same one that wrote "The chimes of freedom flashing".
Indeed, however these last few days, another of his lines have gotten stuck in my mind: "It's a hard rain's a gonna fall." I think I prefer yours.

And this Tom Petty version of Dylan's Licence to Kill. Epic.
