Talk about symmetries. The 2016 election and WHAT FOLLOWED was 2004 with non compos mentis George W. and Evilly Designed Dick Cheney returning as if on steroids for Nicompoop Trump and Evilly Designed Mike Pence... Vote Wisely 2020

Surrender in November, 2004 (a voting song)
- by David Elias 8/25/04 ~ davidelias.com
There's something wrong in America
We sure come undone since the millenium
Nothin ever felt so bad
As when we waged a war on old Afghanistan
I'll buy your oil if you buy mine, or better yet
Let's smoke a pipe of peace sometime
One thing's for sure it's the end of the line
For the GOP in ol' DC...it's time they're
Ready to surrender in November
Ready to surrender in November now
And one more thing my country 'tis of thee
Let's talk about the things that really keep us free
Hey how about a little privacy
Don't go and lend me books then pin a tail on me
What I love about the USA
Is the choice to say what I want to say
Not some patriot to tell me where and when to pray
Or to search my home on any given day... they'll be
Ready to surrender in November
Ready to surrender in November now
There's something wrong with America
We sure come undone since the millenium
We've been ruled by fear that doesn't disappear
Between the media and all those Wall St. Bears
And here's another big idea
Imagine weapons that aren't even really there
I don't think that's what John Lennon had in mind
But Comes A Time when it's voting time...they'll be
Ready to surrender in November
Ready to surrender in November now
So here's to those purple waves of amber grain
Not some family feud with old Saddam Hussein
Or some Saudi escort in a private plane
There's more to life than just the money game
Our fearless leader doesn't hang so tough
Everytime the going gets a little rough
America we sure deserve some better stuff
George go give it up I think you've had enough... you'll be
Ready to surrender in November
Ready to surrender in November now

David Elias recommends:
-
Intricate, exacting, sonically meticulous, extemporary in all its planning, takes you into a room then into a field then into the void.

Because of a Flower
by Ana RoxanneBought the vinyl. Spectacular use of sound with some insane vocal tracks overhead.
go to album -
Start at the end and play it backwards. Or forwards. Sideways either way. Squarely unsquare and rapidly descending. Captured.
