It was a beautiful song, but it ran too long.
If your gonna have a hit, you gotta make it fit.
So they cut it down to 3:05.
I guess Billy Joel noticed the same about our culture over 30 years ago.
Re. talking to ourselves, I wandered into Maher accidently years ago. My first board, I found it cathartic to find likeminded people.
This, after suffering through a handful of years of total bullshit on the news, regarding the invasion of Iraq, and the mess that followed.
First it was about WMD's, then it was about spreading Democracy, blah, blah, blah. We all knew it was bullshit from the word go. When the media is too chickenshit to tell the truth (it's easy to forget now, that we were living through McCarthyism 2 back then) you go crazy listening to the constant barage of lies.
Sometimes, we need the affirmation from our peers, that we haven't totally lost our minds. I notice that a scant few, if any, change their view of anything on these boards. I am happy to say that I've had my eyes opened to a few things over the last 2 years, that (however grudgingly) I have come to accept as "right".
Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places, if you look at it right.
