Hey Jules, I Found Your Song
Mytwords over at NPR Check notes that, I'll be damned (but you knew that), this week NPR also noticed the passing of Utah Phillips. I'm pleasantly surprised—something I haven't felt re. NPR in a long time. I'm also pleasantly surprised to be pointed to "The Talking NPR Blues," a song that I know my friend jules can identify with (though she's probably already heard it):
They don't give a damn what we want and needCatch hell from Richard Burton!</zimmerman>
They've all caved in to corporate greed
And sold us out to the ruling class
Well the whole damn bunch can kiss my… …Dot Com!This is a family show folks
The FCC says watch your language
English
What's yours?I got tired of being treated like a veg
So I called up the station and canceled my pledge
In a mighty act of liberation
Sent the money off to my community station

Heya nash, thanks! Followed that NPR Check link last week and I saw it. Beautiful. So yesterday morning I heard Scott Simon and Daniel Schorr chatting oh so casually about how it was really nothing new to learn how Bush lied us into a war, and thus the McClellan book is really tired old news. Yeah. That's right. Meanwhile, I kept remembering how Simon derided Robert Jensen and made sure he knew that Saddam was a Bad Man, and surely he must acknowledge blabbity blah blah blah blah.
