i think it's just criticizing the ridiculousness of religious doctrine.  and since they sound like westerners to me, they're probably just going after the most relevant nonsense.

and i think you meant to say "imagine the brou-ha-ha there would if if someone made a song titled Run , Run." That's when you'd start to hear whining.  there's enough anti-semetic vitriol out there, the jews are used to it.

Guys—this is not a disco dance song.  It's a slow, syrupy and sensual slow-dance song.  See if you can make it all the way through without getting some serious suck-face action from these bluesy tunes.

I'd forgotten to login here and thank Bill publicly. After mentioning that I, Christian, was running the NYC marathon for the first time this past November ... he queued up a few choice songs for the start, including this apropos number.

It was surprisingly effective / inspirational just as we crossed over to the top of the Verrazano bridge into Brooklyn. Very memorable.

I suppose this title won't be what people chant to Mitt Romney when he trots his most important self around the campaign trails. Sorry...I should remember the separation of politics and music. They should stay separate like the supposed 'church' and 'state'. I'm liking this song...that's what I really wanted to say...after all.

Weren't "crazy ludes" used as a come-down drug for bad trips or excessive cocaine use?


From Wikipedia:

"By 1965 it was the most commonly prescribed sedative in Britain, where it has been sold legally under the names Malsed, Malsedin, and Renoval...In 1972 it was the sixth-bestselling sedative in the USA, where it was legal under the brand name Quaalude; at that time "luding out" was a popular college pastime. This is the similar effect of an alcoholic blackout with no recollection of events...

Effects can include euphoria, drowsiness, reduced heart rate, reduced respiration, increased sexual arousal (aphrodisia), and paresthesias (numbness of the fingers and toes).

An overdose can cause delirium, convulsions, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, vomiting, renal failure, coma, and death through cardiac or respiratory arrest."

"or something like that" Yeah.
As far as research goes, them little furry critters need to do... their homework.
This:
With women and children in line
The men will gather behind
With knives to their throats they'll depart
On the midnight train to Jordan.

That's not mainstream Christianity.
Heck, that's not even wacko Christianity.
That's Jim Jones' non-Christian heresy - or something like that. 
I guess that's just the hazards of doing one's "research" on the Internet.

Generally there is a more pronounced protuberance at or around 7, or less frequently a solid tumescence around the mean, but seldom a gentle rise, or as in this case, a steady flow across the stream, and certainly not the sudden burst of a central bulge.
