Save The Country
MORE politics, eh?
You CANNOT be serious:
“But what we’ve got is a President who resembles a heavy metal band, an outlaw who appeals to a tiny sliver of the populace which believes it’s been screwed and wants revenge, even though the rest of the people abhor them.”
If Donald Trump was elected with a “sliver of the populace” then Hillary Clinton got kicked to the curb by that same sliver. Who wants “revenge”? Not me!
President Trump is not like a “heavy metal band” – he’s more like Frank Zappa, who said and did outrageous things, but knew exactly what he was doing and what his goals and intentions were.
Two years before Saturday Night Live began, some of the best talent from the “Not Ready For Prime Time Players” were featured in a parody of Woodstock, called “Lemmings”. This title song captures the zeitgeist of the Baby Boomer generation who went from being anti-establishment idealists of the 60’s to the establishment Utopians and liberals of the new millennium. Best lyrics:
“We don’t want nothing if it isn’t free
A modern mass of furry little mindless animals
A million lemmings marching to the sea”

Lemmings – 1973
We dreamed of politicians polarizing power trips
We’re just too pure and peaceful to decide
So we got our heads together while the planet fell to bits
Now the one step left to take is suicide
We are lemmings
We are crazy
We will feed our flower habit
Pushing daisies
If you’re put upon by powers, if you’re restless for release
This might just be the final rush you crave
We all believe in flowers and we all believe in peace
And there’s endless peace and flowers in the grave
We are lemmings
We are crazy
We will feed our flower habit
We all want to go underground and get back to the earth
We don’t want nothing if it isn’t free
A modern mass of furry little mindless animals
A million lemmings marching to the sea
We are lemmings
We are crazy
We will feed our flower habit
Pushing daisies
YOU are the establishment, the “man”, and the old guard that many of us are fighting against.
Don’t be a lemming!
