The mob rules!

Music, Uncategorized, , , ,

Oh! You’ve nothing to say
They’ll drag you away!
If you listen to fools,
The mob rules, the mob rules!

Black Sabbath / Mob Rule. 1981

If you listen to fools!   we are all the time listening to fools, on the TV, on the Radio, At the bus stop… We’ve nothing to say, just babble empty words, when was your last real conversation? A real constructive one.

We are losing our life away, losing time complaining about this and that . Do you remember when you didn’t have computers? When life was simpler, well people often complained about life in a simpler way but it was the same. Family has lost the communication between parents and children, we spend more time sharing a TV program than talking about something you find interesting….

We are just a mob, carried away by the media…

Break the circle and stop the movement
The wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might stop rolling
And take you right back around!

You’re all fools!
The Mob Rules!

Breathe – Pink Floyd – The Dark side of the moon

Music

Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don’t be afraid to care.
Leave, don’t leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.

Long you live and high you fly
smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry
all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, Forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don’t sit down it’s time to dig another one.

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.

If you haven’t heard this record please run now and find it, if you have we need to conclude that Breathe is one of the greatest openings of all times… of course this song is just a small part of this master piece.

 

 

Children of the Google

iron maiden, Juanmanuel Cunningham, Music, old times

I remember when we used to be unaware of most of everything. We did not know anything at all, we just were, there, around, walking and trying to find mysteries we did not even know they existed.
I remember having to copy cassettes from friends to get the latest imported album, borrowing underground porn, renting copied VHS tapes, and finding the best Slayer album 3 years after its release. it was fun, we were surporised and amazed by everything. I always had this hope of having that bootleg album I had heard of. That song I heard somewhere and I did not have a clue who sang it.
We are now all doomed , we must know it all, if we don’t the common questions comes: “did you google it?? ” and we believe everything that there is, we even trust our health to Google. If we have a pain somewhere, just search it and do what it is said there.
Have a problem, do what that old blog says, need to know the future, consult the online fortune teller, we are so submerged in it that we do not even bother to walk around and meet the neighbors, we just twitt what ever thought is in our minds.
I am not against it, but I am aware of it. We should be more responsible when using Google, twitter, Facebook and all those hundreds of social sites and networks.

When was the last time you heard a record from the first note to the last, when was the last time you spent the day listening over and over to a LP just mesmerized by its cover (Iron Maiden used to blow mi mind) …??

I feel like talking with my granpa and apologizing by not understanding his words when complained about the TV, Atari and Walkman…..
