Ya Herb, I did see that he had made that remark: political gold for the Dems! Not just the gold leaf kind!

Herb, you got all of that right in your commentary. The world economy is going to crash.

Trump showed the world that Oil is unreliable! The supply got interrupted & it is going to result in economic catastrophe for many around the world. Countries can see that

The usual lyrics resources for "Cortez" present the canonical "Zuma" Lyrics. But now there is an additional verse in the Bergen version of the song, also on the lyrics sheet to be found in the 2-LP RSD release. Is this the verse that was cut off during the Zuma power-off recording session, that supposedly was "lost forever"? Or is it a new verse? Also: does the new

Alan. Did you catch T Rump’s “Read My Lips” moment?

Speaking on the White House South Lawn before departing for a diplomatic trip to China, Trump was asked to what extent “Americans’ financial situations” were motivating him to make a deal with Iran.

“Not even a little bit,” Trump replied. “The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran — they can’t have a nuclear

Edited:

Sun Green. Be the Rain!

Trump has accidentally boosted Green Energy by engaging in this idiotic Iran War! Even though all he wanted was “beautiful coal” & fossil fuels, he has inadvertently caused the largest exodus from fossil fuel dead energy “that the world has ever seen.”

Congratulations Mr Trump, you accidentally caused something good

I take issue with Daniel de Vis’e assessment of “Motorcycle Mama”. Easily the greatest stripper song. Ever. 😎

I think it's only on the website, not the app. I listened to it today and it's a great recording. On the website, go to the Playlists from the main menu, select Timeline Concerts, and it's at the top. No idea why they don't push it out to the app at the same time.

This is suppose to be on the Time Line.

This is off topic. Is anybody else not seeing the 4/29/03 concert from Hamburg that Neil announced, I believe yesterday on his website.

Ron, Thanks. I almost missed this b/c it’s on NYA as “Take America Back”. Gr8 version of RITFW live from Jones Beach! A shame this song & others (Ambulance Blues) didn’t make the “As Time Explodes” cut. Maybe Neil could put a hires digital outtakes from explodes up for sale in the hires store…

Pretty cool version of RITW on NYA today. From the Jones Beach show I think. Not on the album though...

Still, if they have film of RITW hopefully more will emerge in time.

The great Hunter Thompson predicted a Trump, a mass of corruption and nastiness, with no regard for the well-being of citizens. He said this has to follow from Nixon, that the rats had gotten into the building and getting them out will be about as hard as-well- getting rid of rats. Can there be a protest song that covers this? The essence of "Ohio" was a focus on a singular event of

When the band founded "David Volksmund Produktion" in 1971 they were one of the first bands with their own label, way ahead of the "indie craze" much later. The packaging was a statement of course, made of corrugated cardboard, more like a pizza cardboard box or a grocery packaging, claiming that the contents was kind of a nutritious substance instead of being a popular art

A friend gifted me a 1972 copy of Keine Macht für Niemand with the original cardboard packaging. One of my favorites in my collection.

noreply@blogger.com (Dionys) — Thu, 07 May 2026 16:08:17 +0000

The Scherben's "Keine Macht für niemand" (first release 1972, two years after their Fehrman concert when the stage went up in flames after the fifth song) definitely would be a candidate. Need to listen to it again, interview my wife, who somehow got hold of that coarse cardboard box in the early 80's. Back in the day being a southern German the language (accent, language melody

noreply@blogger.com (Knowledge Nomad) — Thu, 07 May 2026 14:56:56 +0000

That's as good an anthem as any. I've mentioned before, the only time I had the pleasure of seeing Chapman live was at a BSB show, somewhat hampered by the disrespectful behavior of some in the audience.

What do you think is a good German language rock anthem (in the political sense) is? My vote would go to the Ton Steine Scherben song "Der Traum ist Aus?", especially

Second thoughts: When in 1989 my university was mired in major unrest because of academic constitutional changes, financial cuts and the general notion that being so many in my generation (the dirty end of the boomer generation) we we not dealt with fairly at school and on the job market we went on strike for more than a semestre. The anthem or signature song of this movement was "Talkin'
