Anarchism. Individuals and communities freely associating without being ruled. Whether or not you think it's a viable societal solution, it is a valid effort.

All religions are criminal organisations designed to subjugate the followers and deny human dignity as are all governments, hardly a breath between the two....that's my take on it. Live life and stop worrying about what happens when you die, because you won't be there to care.

Anyone else hear "Taxman" in this?

After hearing some of Beck's Sampling revealed here on RP, I gotta wonder if *more* sounds I hear in his cuts are sampled

I am not disagreeing with you.  But my point was the Tom Cruise's organization is not a religion.  It has been rightly banned in Germany because it is deemed a criminal organization.  I think Beck is most likely a victim, but at some point you have to wonder, Is he a perp like Cruise?    I do not think the same of Christianity.    I find it so sad that these talented artists are a part of this org (victims usually). 

I will not sit by and let people defend it as a religion and cry "Bigotry".

I am no fan of religion, but that is not fair to legitimate religions.

Beck's first ever, 'Mop Hurdling' event was going very well, until it started to rain.

More akin to a cult thinks I, than a criminal organization.  Mind you if they committ crimes they should be prosecuted.

But mostly they are just a bunch of foolish believers in psuedo science.  Of course I get most of my info on them from South Park.

And I don't any problem watching Cruise or Travolta or Giovanni Ribisi (Beck's brother in law) on screen for that matter.

And yeah I love Beck's music.

Isn't that just another form of prejudice against a group with different socioeconomic views than yourself?

When will the bigotry end? >sigh<

Why can't we all — Mafioso, Scientologists and Music Lovers — just get along?

(fwiw, RDO, I do like your post and thought it an excellent comparison. I'm just being annoying today because I'm anxious about something unrelated to this discussion and it's spilling over :)

I danced to this at the Crazy House last time I was in Liverpool.  Beck always gives me momentary happy glimpses through the doors of perception to my formative years.  Especially stuff from Odelay.

Understanding, I think, just how volatile this is, but...I don't get accepting/rejecting art because of the artist's religious beliefs. Springsteen's Catholic. Dylan's Jewish. Richard Thompson is a Sufi muslim. They're all fabulous musicians, and that's what counts, right? Well...RIGHT?

Somebody please tell this bad singer to get the marbles out of his mouth and get off the downers he's on so that he may have a chance on actually being a talented vocalist.

Agree!

Beck is so original, I usually don't hear anything but his own bad self in his music. However, WonderLizard has pointed out that, like Prince, Mr. Hansen actually has an encyclopedic grasp of Rock history and genre.

I guess it's part of his genius that he can incorporate such a distinctive Beatles homage without sounding totally derivative.
Viva Beck! {#Dancingbanana_2}
