Guitar Solo Modifications

Folds Of Guitar

I lived near Nashville in 1960.  This is a march of 3000 for integration and equal rights.  Shortly thereafter, the mass movements for equality, against the Vietnam War, for women's rights, for workers rights and pay, all exploded across the globe.

7 Billion Workers Feel This Way

Scattered Everywhere

Old And Fast

The Korg Microkorg has a setting for vocoder, combining your voice with any synth.  I don't think it has been explored deeply by the music world.  This is a small taste, with some conversion of the Microkorg to bass and piano in Reason 12.  These monsters are around 400 bucks.

Microkorg Vocoder

Very Hard Rock

Decades Intersecting

A set of drummers, two cellists, an old Moog bass, and a Les Paul guitar.

High School was an academic waste for me, but pure heaven instead.

My NK guitar is great.  Sounds like it's on a distant planet with a blue sun.

Looking Forward

Any day now we will turn
Turn around just to bring them down
And build a new world

Any Day Now

NY Strut

Billions are opening their eyes, looking around, wondering how to change everything for regular people

Waiting For Their Return

Six Billion Above This

I fear and welcome the collapse of the current capitalist countries.  I applaud the heroism of the 5 billion to bury these vultures.

When You Know

Let's Take Em All Down

Freedom is an ugly word around here
They're making it more absurd every year, yeah,
Freedom is an ugly word around here
They're making it more absurd every year

Freedom to lie, freedom to steal
Freedom to hide what is really real.
Freedom to spy, freedom to jail
Free bailouts when they fail, yeah,
Freedom is an ugly word around here
They're making it more absurd every year.
Freedom is an ugly word around here
They're making it more absurd every year.

Freedom to lay me off, freedom to raise my rent
Freedom to buy the whole damn government, yeah

When they say freedom, they mean power.
It's getting closer to the midnight hour
Gotta take it back, take it back, take it back, take it back

Comments on the song:
In ancient Greece and Rome, the brutal elite spoke often of freedom, democracy, and equality, but meant for it to be only among themselves, i.e., freedom for them and lifelong slavery for the vast majority.  It is the same today.  Although the extended political freedoms like voting, travel, and education are deceitful ways to make the power of big money even more complete.  And just as then, the upper middle class that does all the dirty organizing of the exploitation is strung along with the promise of equality and the dulling comforts of suburban life.  It is time to silence their nightmare choir.  True freedom for the majority, the workers, can only be won by taking away the freedom of the businessmen (such an appropriate term for those who are indeed giving us the business).

The photo is of the January 18, 2003 San Francisco march against Congressional approval to invade Iraq.  This event was blacked out by the entire media, like it never happened.  It is the largest anti-war event ever recorded in San Francisco.  So much for freedom of the press.

Freedom is an ugly word

The devil's laugh is really weeping.  And he sings with the revolution, challenging God's cruel c'est la mort  coldness with a warmth the concilliators can never know.

Cold day in hell
