A Wicked Life

Photo Source: Huffington Post It is one thing to admire a culture. It is another thing to outright fabricate ethnicity and being a target of racism. Ms. Dolezal pushed the limits. She lied about who her father is and was brazen enough to post it on social media. Introduced her adopted brother as her son. Not only did she lie about her heritage, she falsified hate mail and police reports - playing the victim of racism.  What was her motive? Some say she did it because of her passion to eliminate the country's injustice towards the black community. Others say that she did it for scholarships and other benefits. Only Dolezal, herself, knows the true motive. What her actions have brought forward is more racial discussion. Her own resignation letter even tries to make the claim that society lashed back and only focused on race and its definition. "Many issues face us now that drive at the theme of urgency. Police brutality, biased curriculum in schools, economi...

Just sit back and enjoy this beauty. Shine on, Syd. Shine on.

Caution: The last part of this video is hard to watch. No question about it. This song is pretty damned violent. "Run Like Hell" Run, run, run, run    You better make your face up in  Your favourite disguise  With your button down lips and your  Roller blind eyes  With your empty smile  And your hungry heart  Feel the bile rising from your guilty past  With your nerves in tatters  As the cockleshell shatters  And the hammers batter  Down your door  You better run  Run, run, run, run  You better run all day  And run all night  And keep your dirty feelings  Deep inside. And if your  Takin' your girlfriend  Out tonight  You better park the car  Well out of sight  'Cos if they catch you in the back seat  Trying to pick her locks  They're gonna send you back to mother  In a cardboard box  You better run  ~The Wall

My brother, who is a fellow Pink Floyd fan, told me about this track. It's instrumental. I had to find a video to go along with this song and this seems to be the best. The other one showed a couple doing heroin. Thanks, but no thanks.

Hi folks! Playing a little catch up with this year's challenge. I hope I have not been booted off the list yet. If so, well I am going to continue as planned until the end of the month. This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd tracks. It's great to see it performed live and they always have a hug ass pig floating above the audience. The pig's eyes glow red and it seems to be the type that would eat a man whole. They can do that, you know. That is why I don't feel bad loving bacon as much as I do. What is the meaning of this song, you  may ask? Not sure. You tell me. Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are You well heeled big wheel, ha ha, charade you are And when your hand is on your heart You're nearly a good laugh Almost a joker With your head down in the pig bin Saying "keep on digging" Pig stain on your fat chin What do you hope to find? When you're down in the pig mine You're nearly a laugh You're nearly ...

I couldn't choose between these two tracks. One with Waters, one without. I love them both. I recently re-watched American Psycho and this song fits in nicely. While one could argue that Patrick Bateman was just plain bat shit crazy, what about Pink? "...in the suite case on the left you'll find my favorite ax." "This just a passing phase..."  "Would  you like to learn to fly, Would ya?! Would you like to see me try?" One Slip tells a different story. To me it talks about two people that get caught up in a shit storm after a moment of weakness. Their decision spirals them into what they feel is oblivion.  Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire I lead the way to the funeral pyre And without a thought of the consequence I gave in to my decadence  One slip, and down the hole we fall It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason That binds a life for life...

Remember when there were only 13 channels on the tele?
