Eno for president in 2008
I was driving today and I heard a recording of Martin Luther King Jr. quoting another great man, James Russell Lowell. King read the following as part of his speech against the war in Vietnam, "Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne." It was a surprisingly perfect complement to a verse I noticed yesterday from Dead Finks Don't Talk on Here Come the Warm Jets.
Over the past forty-eight hours, both Brian Eno and Martin Luther King have had me questioning whether those in power will ever decide to do what is right over what is easy. Then again, maybe I'm just upset about the Army recruiting station that recently opened on campus to recruit more young men for the current Executive administration to disenfranchise and coerce into extended occupation of foreign soil in the name of protecting us from those who “hate our freedoms“, whatever that may mean.
"Oh perfect masters
They thrive on disasters
They all look so harmless
Till they find their way up here."
