im from a small backward industrial town in the north of england.
in the 70's when i was a kid no-one had a car.
we used to meet for field service on the street corner and have a pep rally right there, then stand in a circle and say a prayer.
I don't know, those still sound made up to me. In the states, our shows didn't have such silly names. The Seventies were truly our golden age of television:
Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch, The Bugaloos, Jabberjaw, Fangface, Hong Kong Phooey, Elektrawoman and Dynagirl, The Hair Bear Bunch, The Banana Splits, Sigmund and the Sea Monster.
And that was just Saturday morning, evenings were even better! Halcyon years, indeed.

freaks me out..... but then again i remember an article in newsweek that there were like 3 musical groups that had upcoming albums pulled because they had the wtc on fire on them..... .
Tad,
I agree that this looks like the WTBS planned 9/11. Unfortunately, they used their typical backwards thinking. They've got the plane flying away from the towers. D'oh!

"The Downing Street "Memo" is actually a document containing meeting minutes transcribed during the British Prime Minister's meeting on July 23, 2002—a full eight months PRIOR to the invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003."
"The contents of the memo are shocking. The minutes detail how our government did not believe Iraq was a greater threat than other nations; how intelligence was "fixed" to sell the case for war to the American public; and how the Bush Administration’s public assurances of "war as a last resort" were at odds with their privately stated intentions."
"When asked, British officials "did not dispute the document's authenticity" and a senior American official has described it as "absolutely accurate" Yet the Bush administration continues to simultaneously sidestep the issue while attempting to cast doubt on the memo’s authenticity."
Note: Since the search function is down, I couldn't check to see if this had already been posted. Apologies in advance if it has.
which albums did you throw out after that landmark talk at an assembly round about the mid 80's?.
i got rid of:.
elo (widely regarded as having back tracking on one song).
I never threw any out, but years later(shortly before I left) I made a mix tape for a Witness friend and labeled it 'Music that debases'. He didn't find it as hilarious as I did. Oh well.
I do remember the speaker naming off many 'debasing' song titles during his talk. "...Sympathy for the Devil, Children of the Grave..." and so on. I doubt anyone ever bothered with actually listening to the lyrics, though.
Revolution in their minds
The children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
And all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
And told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
And love comes flowing through.
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sunrise of tomorrow bringing peace in any way
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
So you children of the world, listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in spread the word today
Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave
Or you children of today are children of the grave.
i was listening to zep's dazed and confused today and the rocking middle section of that song never ceases to amaze me - john bonham was from a different planet, was completely insane, or both.
nothing i've ever heard in any other song quite compares to that.. honorable mentions:.
neil peart on the songs tom sawyer and subdivisions.
Check out "The Drum Thing" on Crescent. Elvin was a giant.
they are adding a second floor to this hall that they have had for at least 40 years.
in gunhill rd bronx new york city.
i started by asking dumb questions .
.....but this is how to handle jw's
Ohhhh......I've been doing it all wrong. Thanks for the lesson!
what is the saddest song that brings tears to your eyes just about every time you hear it?
mine is harry chapin's cats in the cradle
Freelove Freeway by David Brent
long time later I see a cowboy crying
"Hey buddy, what can I do?"
He says, "I lived a good life, had about a thousand women,"
I said, "Why the tears?", he says, " 'Cause none of them was you."
and in the morning the word of the lord came to me, saying, son of man, has not the house of israel, the rebellious house, said to you, what are you doing?
say to them, thus says the lord god: this burden concerns the prince in jerusalem and all the house of israel who are among them.
i will not conceal his limbs, his mighty power, or his graceful proportions.
.....and the women were in fear because of their bigness. So the Nephilim began to gaze at the good looking young men and wanted to be with them so that they could be called their "Feller".
Hmmm....I don't remember this particular passage. Does it come from the Queen James translation?
Very interesting though, this might explain why Bibles are always bound in black leather.
ha ha ha ha i knew i would get you with that one.. actually, this morning my kids locked me in the closet.
i could not get out for the life of me.
i sat there telling them to let me out as they laughed at me.
I just LOVE exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
