MC 900 FT Jesus - Buried At Sea
(Apr 08, 2005 - 19:14) | 4999thnewuser wrote: May 25, 1980, while overlooking his religious center which was in financial difficulty:
"`I felt an overwhelming holy presence all around me. When I opened my eyes, there He stood ... some 900 feet tall, looking at me ... He stood a full 300 feet taller than the 600-foot-tall City of Faith. There I was face to face with Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. I have only seen Jesus once before, but here I was face to face with the King of kings. He reached down, put his Hands under the City of Faith, lifted it, and said to me, "See how easy it is for Me to lift it!"'"
"Oral recalled that his eyes filled with tears, and Jesus assured him that He would speak to the ministry's partners and that the City of Faith would be finished."
(My accountant is sadly only 5ft 9 and supports Tottenham Hotspur, which is a serious sin and which will preclude him from the Heavenly Kingdom)
What can you say about Oral Roberts that hasn't been said before? Not only does he describe a 900-ft tall person, not only can this person lift the City of Faith, but he's Jesus Christ, to boot. The Jesus Christ part Oral clearly could handle, since he had seen him before, that was old hat. But being 50% taller than the City of Faith, being able to lift the City of Faith, and being able to ensure funds for its completion would certainly seem to be the important facets of Jesus Christ for Oral.
I know I sound like a godless heathen. But I don't have a problem with God or Jesus, I just have a problem with Oral and his ilk. It's not enough that God gives us life, a universe, and salvation. He must also send his Son as a 900 ft tall apparition who lifts large structures and ensures financing. For Oral, who has a direct line to Him, and who wants to build Big Things in His honor. With our money.

But why do they keep making more of these shows? Because people watch them. They know they're crap but they watch them. And if it offends you...TURN IT OFF! If you don't want your kids watching it...TURN IT OFF! They came out with these great things a couple of thousand years ago called books. Or how about music, or maybe, and I'm going out on a limb here, talk to each other? Or exercise? Or...sorry. (stepping off soapbox, wiping foam from mouth) Didn't intend to rant like that.

Try telling this to a Saddam Hussien or a Josef Stalin. (Yes, how did Stalin put it? "How many divisions has the Pope?") The solution isn't warm, fuzzy "let's all get along" nonsense. The world isn't a warm, fuzzy place. The solution is hard-headed realism. Jesus, most of all, was a hard-headed realist who did not let that get in the way of treating all people justly. (And remember, "justice" means some people getting what they deserve.)
Peace does not mean the absence of war. It means being willing to defend yourself and others against injustice and unprovoked violence.
Had Pete Seeger had his way, all of Western Europe would be Communist, Saddam Hussein would still be murdering millions--on and on.
That said, it wasn't Saddam Hussein who attacked us. We've overrun two nations so far, with a third and fourth in our gunsights.
You, a realist, believe what you see on TV. You, a realist, do not understand reality. The reality is that our administration had to have a pretext to go after and secure 13.5 billion barrels of oil reserves, and 9/11 provided it.
We are ruled by giant corporations, that constantly distort our democratic system to meet their needs.

I guess I feel that the Beatles created plenty of good music when they weren't using drugs, and I don't think there's any guarantee that Britney doesn't use drugs. My opinion is that it's the great talent and genius of this man and others like him that leads us to love their music. Their use of drugs is ancilliary, unnecessary, and in this case, tragically fatal.

The first couple of times I heard cuts from BOTH SIDES NOW,
I was convinced it was a re-mastered Sarah Vaughan CD.
But it was Joni. How many other artists have had almost a 40-year career and are as vital now as when they first started.
But her voice, and her style, has changed over the years. I think she's a stone genius, but everyone hears something different in her music. I think you have to relate to the poetry in her lyrics. It took me years of listening to her to get to that point myself.
And, to digress a bit, I'm very understanding of people not liking Joni. I feel very strongly that nobody has to like anything, in fact. I'm always running into music on RP that sounds like trash to me, only to check the comments and find multiple posts of adoration. I reserve the right to not like anything I choose to not like, so if people don't like Joni, I respect that. At the same time, I'm so glad she's been doing what she does, and I appreciate her so much, and I'm so glad when I bump into others that are moved by her music, as I am.

The scientists listen to the collection, and are especially intrigued with the work of a "Bob Dylan."

"Yeah, but his voice sucks," interjects another.

Great comment, lethepea. Art is art, and in being so cannot be judged objectively. A song brings a different message to each listener's ears, evoking unique identifications and equally unique emotional responses. Arguing whether any song is either terrible/great only provides a report of one's own emotional response, but in so doing often can deny the emotional response of the other person. I think that's where the anger comes from.
Everyone is entitled to love/hate what they wish.

I'm guessing, however, that if he performed it today he would change his use of the bongo and flute. He's attempting to meld musical styles from different eras here, and nowadays his use of the bongos and flute in this piece lock it inescapably into a '60's prison. The piece today sounds horribly dated, and I think at the time he recorded it he was shooting for timeless.

Yardbirds - Heart Full Of Soul
(Jul 24, 2003 - 18:10) | Doh! #-o I'll be singing this to myself for the next week now!
I got a hear-ar-ar-ar-ar-ar-art full o' sooouuullll!!!

Lucinda Williams - I Lost It
(Jul 23, 2003 - 22:40) | Sounds like Louisiana-poet's-daughter-blues-rock-country-folk-contemporary-alternative to me.
|
Depeche Mode - Dream On
(Jul 22, 2003 - 21:20) | Depeche is the greatest expressway-driving music in the world. 5 lanes wide at 60 per, underpass, overpass, tall buildings, city lights, keep going, nobody slow down, now.
|
Booker T. & The M.G.s - Green Onions
(Jul 22, 2003 - 21:18) | Wow! "Hang 'em High" earlier today, now this! I used to do a great imitation of Booker T's organ on the dashboard of my dad's '62 Tempest. Also sounded great in American Graffitti.
Remarkable what a few guys in a brick shack in Memphis can cook up.

Tracy Chapman - Crossroads
(Jul 18, 2003 - 15:49) | Great theme, great song. Great artists, like TC, know the evocative power of a simple theme expanded. As for Leslie and tlem, don't get me wrong, I love Joni, too.
|
Cranberries - Zombie
(Jan 01, 2003 - 11:59) | A hearfelt antiwar statement, a profound hard/soft expression of human suffering.
|
Led Zeppelin - The Rover
(Apr 09, 2002 - 22:54) | LAFadeaway: great comment for a great song. In reply to your question: yes, it is!
|
Danielle Dax - Big Blue '82
(Apr 05, 2002 - 14:54) | High energy, "up", kick-butt music. Is it pop? I don't know, I don't listen to radio stations.
|
John Prine - Lake Marie
(Mar 16, 2002 - 15:56) | Good old John Prine. JP.
We were standing, standing by peaceful waters, whoa, IO, IO, IO.
|
Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon
(Mar 06, 2002 - 14:09) | Great song, in its own right. Seems like a lot of people are bored with it, because it's overplayed. My question is, what kind of radio station overplays 25 year-old music? Stop listening to those stations! For your own sanity, get a CD player or listen to NPR. Stand up and say "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it any more!"

Thunderclap Newman - Something In The Air
(Feb 27, 2002 - 00:06) | Does anybody want to volunteer a guess at whatever happened to that revolution Thunderclap refers to? Does anyone remember what that revolution was about? I remember, vaguely, but I consider myself a freak...er...of nature.

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Blue Rondo a la Turk
(Feb 07, 2002 - 16:10) | From Webster's: Ecletic: selecting what appears to be best in various doctrines, methods, or styles; composed of elements drawn from various sources.
|
Quicksilver Messenger Service - Who Do You Love
(Feb 07, 2002 - 15:59) | I know, AC, this makes me crazy too. I hadn't realized how much this song takes me back to a much YOUNGER time, but no sooner does it establish its old familiar merry groove than it is gone. Alas. Alack. I mourn its passing, there's so much more there.

Billie Holiday - Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do
(Jan 28, 2002 - 12:31) | Irrespective of political correctness, Billie Holliday's words here represent the experience of the abused. Keeping her abuse a secret was part of her disease, as it is for many victims. It is offensive, but it is also the reality of the abusers' experience. Those abused often feel responsible for their abuse, identify with the abuser, and attempt to manage their emotions with self-medication, as Billie did with a number of drugs. Certainly Billie had fewer choices than do contemporary African American women, but the relevant choice that she was denied was to choose life, to choose to avoid the self-destructive spiral that ended with her untimely and all-too premature death. This song is an anthem to those who need help.

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower
(Jan 23, 2002 - 02:09) | I agree, Marty. This "cover" redefines. Dylan must be immensely pleased that his music went so far in the hands of a late, great artist.
|
Jefferson Airplane - 3-5s of a Mile in 10 Seconds
(Jan 23, 2002 - 01:28) | If 60 miles per hour is 1 mile per minute, then 1 mile in 10 seconds is 360 miles per hour, and 3/5 of a mile in 10 seconds is 3/5 times 360 or 216 miles per hour.
Also remember: 186,000 miles per second: IT'S THE LAW!

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesday's Gone
(Jan 21, 2002 - 23:58) | By: jdemmers
Location: Atlanta, GA
Oh No! Anything but Lynyrd Skynyrd! Ahhhhh...
I'm sympathetic to you, jdemmers, thinking that you've had Skynrd shoved at you over and over and OVER again for 30 years now, living in Atlanta. Anyway, I'm lucky enough not to be so tired of the group, and I just hear that bass line working. A great band, let's hear enough so we don't forget.

Sinéad O'Connor - The Healing Room
(Jan 11, 2002 - 01:32) | Sinead is an artist and a genius. Her rhythms are ancient and tribal, she chooses to work outside the envelope.
Thanks for the lyrics, Columbia.
|
Elton John - Sixty Years On
(Dec 26, 2001 - 15:40) | This is a fabulous song. Listen to the words and music from a great performer and a great lyricist (Taupin). Yes, you do have to be in the right groove to appreciate it.
