YouTube - Flying Burrito Brothers - Christine's Tune
I am a bit more of a rocker (typically not always)...but that's a good song. You know, I have read a lot of Rock biographies from the 60's and 70's and I think he is mentioned frequently.

thanks for the post.

Miss Christine (who that song is about) was part of an all groupie band called the GTOs (Girls Together Outrageously) ... Frank Zappa talked them into starting a band. Some of them appeared in a mock gospel chorus on a song on the Burritos' first album (The Gilded palace of Sin). Although Parsons detested the term, the Burritos were basically a country rock band ... but their music also hinted of gospel, R&B and bluegrass ... Parsons called it Cosmic American Music. Songs like "Dead Flowers" and "Faraway Eyes" by the Stones were inspired by the Burritos and the Eagles likely might never have existed without the Burritos having blazed a trail for them (one of the founding Eagles was even a former Burrito Brother).

I love music trivia like that...it's probably why I read all those biographies.

Ptech is going down hill
The names of 19 hijackers were presented to the public. Funny thing was when the first "passenger manifests" were released, they did not include those names. How funny is that?

But otherwise, there is no proof whatsoever that those 19 men boarded any airplanes that day. I mean fer chrissakes, their NAMES were not even on the manifest.

But they did make a movie about Flight 93, so it must be true, right?

And the government NEVER lies, so this must be a true story, right?

Sure, the government can lie. Especially this administration. Why? sometimes they lie simply to cover up their own ineptitude. It's a huge flying leap to go from inconsistencies in flight manifests to placed charges in the towers and fake airliners. One would expect terrorists to board with fake or stolen identities, especially if they thought their real names might be on a watch list.

I've seen references a number of times to the list of 19 names coming from the treasure trove of M. Atta's luggage which conveniently never made it onto his suicide flight. How strange is that?

So its a conspiracy now that the airlines misplace someone's luggage? It's happened 4 times to me personally. I knew they were out to get me!

This is nothing but a "twoofer tale" propagated by the likes of David Ray Griffin. Those first "passenger manifests" that were released were NOT full manifests, they were victims lists. The hijackers were not considered victims and therefore not included.

This nonsense has been debunked many times.
