[Ron] I can't believe the U.S. didn't like new model army's stuff when bands in the U.S. have much harder views....
[Arlo] My first response is that apparently "free speech" applies only to Americans. We "tolerate" Ministry because there is nothing legally we can do about it. But we can, legally, deny entry to foreigners who dare challenge our Moral Supremacy. I guess the irony of the "land of free speech" denying visas to a group for saying "something we don't like" escapes many people. Too bad. By the way, I first saw Ministry back in 1988 on their Land of Rape and Honey Tour. I think Al Jourgensen caught everyone offguard with that CD (LP?). I was super impressed with The Mind is a Terrible Thing to taste, but much of their latter stuff crosses into almost an death-metal sound (Slayer-like), and so other than a few singles I really only listen to their older stuff (Jesus Built My Hotrod kicks!). One of my favorite Jourgensen projects has been 1000 Homo DJs, with my favorite song being "Apathy". It captures something that has been socially relevant every day since it was written. We tried assassinations, it's the same Demonstrations and violence, but it's still the same to me Economic sanctions, it's the same Tried dragging their names through mud, but it's still the same to me It's the same Down here in the condemnations, it's the same Protected by the laws they make, well it's still the same to me What about the world's reaction, it's the same The only problem is too many factions, and it's still the same to me It's the same Where the hell is the population? All quiet for a generation Whatever happened to the human race? Can't you see the enemy here is you? It's you In the Tory, or the Labor camps, well it's the same Republican or Democrat, but it's still the same to me Go to Lenin or Marx, it doesn't matter Starve the people while the rich get fatter Can't you see they got us where they want us? Can't you see the enemy here is you? It's you Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
